Given what I usually read, I was a bit embarrassed to admit to reading this book. The writing was certainly light and quick, but the plot was very good. If you like paranormal romance/humor, you will definitely enjoy this book. Characters were hilarious and quirky, and, for the most part, not as shallow as you might expect. I may pick up the next in the series (just maybe not read it in public).
Currently 0/5 Stars.

Eh, it was ok. It took awhile to get into the storyline. The characters are fun, and I liked they didn't fall in love the MOMENT they met, as happens in so many other novels. I liked that the badass female character was a "Rivka", which is my name in Hebrew. Her character's name makes sense in retrospect. Anyway, I agree with Candie's review; it was silly but not in the best silly way, like the Aisling Grey series by Kate MacAlister. I didn't like how Satan was represented; to me it undermined the story and I couldn't figure out why anybody would sleep with the guy in the first place. Maybe to stop him from whining? This is a mindless beach fun book, but even then you may find yourself losing interest and putting the book down in order to examine the cute bootays on the beach in shiny speedos.
Hmmmm... I dunno if I liked this or not. It was a fast read, it was silly. But it was silly is in the not Christopher Moore silly (which is more of a smart savvy silly). That doesn't make sense does it? Yeah, the book didn't either. It had it's moments of funny, but I think I'll stick to Chris Moore for stupid silly weird stuff.
This was a very fun read! I really loved the dynamics between the hero and heroine as they worked through their personal issues which stood in the way of their relationship. Definitely different!
