This was not as good as the first one. Also, I initially missed the content warning in the beginning about chapter 12 and ended up reading most of it, but ultimately I had to skip it. It was a whole chapter of some pretty foul and descriptive sexual assault/rape. While I appreciate the author writing the disclaimer and also not making the book contingent on this one chapter, it begs the question: why even write it to begin with? Rape scenes (sexual assault in general) rarely add to the development of plots. There are times that, if handled correctly, they can offer something to the book but that wasn’t the case here at all. This chapter worth of abuse offered absolutely nothing to the plot or character depth. It was also one of the more graphic depictions of sexual assault that I’ve read. I’m also of the opinion that truly great horror books don’t need sexual assault to achieve that shock, disgust, and horror value.
This was a let down from book 1. I already own book 3, so I think I may still give it a shot but I’m truly hoping for the series to get back to the point and skip the assault.

The best horror book I've ever read. Honestly, I was captivated. I read the first book and bought the second one almost immediately to continue the story.
Like I said in my review on the first book, that one builds the characters, gives you as much back story as you need, and then sets the stage for Resurrection.
And it delivers on every, single, level.
Resurrection gives jam packed action, demons, gore, and so much more. There's a trigger warning in the book, and rightly so. Chapter 12 of the novel is intense.
Now - this part was very different - the author wrote the book in a way that if you are a victim of sexual assault, but love horror, you can skip chapter 12 without losing any traction in the story. Truly unique and thoughtful. Did he have to do that? No.
Buy this book, buy the first one. The final chapter looks intense, I just saw the cover art on the facebook group. Ooof.

So the son of the Devil is some asshole from Jersey? Who’d have thought!
This whole book could have really been a part of the first one. There was really no need to separate the two.
First, the dialogue and banter between characters still needs a lot of work. When Joe is on the phone with Ruth, the back and forth sounded so corny. I had the same feeling when Jimmy and Kenny were talking on the roof of the club, The Aftermath. If the author put in, “Gee wilikers, Kenny, my boy, we’re about to do something bad!” I would not have bat an eye because that’s how he thinks people actually talk. That’s the level of dialogue we’re working with.
Second, there is a very graphic rape in chapter 12. Someone said you could skip the pages and not lose the plot, and that’s true. Which brings me to ask, if someone can skip pages of your book, why is it in there in the first place? Which makes me further question, the rape of the literary critic, his characterization of an overly religious mother, his ball busting sister, does the author have an issue with the women in his life? It seems every female character is written so blandly as a caricature, or if there is any depth, like with Lilly, what they can do to serve Joe. Which is the great irony of this — in a book about the Devil, who’s supposed to be about freedom and free will, the women are still bound by the chains of how they are viewed by white masculinity and what they can do for a man in power. Joe, who’s sexually free, is still so mad at his mother for having sex to conceive him that when he tried holding her accountable for her religiosity, it fell flat. It made me think, are you really mad at her for being overly religious or because she finally got some good sex? Because it seems like the sex, Joseph.
Thirdly, I was excited at the possibility Joe might be exploring his queerness with the art dealer Joph. The fact that Joe was bisexual was intriguing to me because it added this layer to his character that was really the embodiment of privileged, white, literary asshole who probably wore tweed jackets and got lucky with one book. The inner turmoil and struggle he felt at this part of himself was endearing and made me like him more, but all hopes were dashed after his night drinking with Joph ended in Joe dismissing him. Joph doesn’t really make an appearance after this.
That’s one thing that really made me upset with the characterization of Joe. I wanted to like him. I was rooting for him at parts. However, he just treated everyone like such shit. It was all about what they could do for him, which I guess could be the author’s aim characterizing the son of the Devil.
I’m not sure if it was a great irony that the son of the Devil started his own church at the end ala evangelical mega preacher in the 21st century, but I liked that jab.
The questions about whether the deaths in the book were at the hand of the Devil or Joe were never answered completely. I mean, we’re dealing with the Prince of Lies, here. There was some great tension with this for a while and I enjoyed that. I also enjoyed the tension between whether Joe was hallucinating or actually seeing the Devil himself.
For a horror book, I was hoping it was going to be spookier. I wanted to feel more uncomfortable while reading this, like how I felt when I first read Salem’s Lot. The author leaned into it slightly at the end when Joseph started to transform into a devil, but I wish he went full bore. I wish we saw glimpses of Joe’s transformation earlier throughout.

Please take note of the writer’s warning at the beginning of the book. Harbron’s not kidding. There is rape and torture in this story. Having read the first book, I thought I knew what I was in for, but after reading a particular chapter, I had to stop reading this one for a week or so before I could bring myself to get back to it. Joseph has lost some friends and has a new agent. Lucifer takes Joseph to his private residence and convinces him not only to write an in-depth biography about the Devil, but also to perform a resurrection. Joseph now has the power to visit Hell, and his appearance seems to be changing. He now has horns and a tale.

Wow! This is how you do horror properly. This author took a well worn subject and turned it on its head in a good way. Without over violence or cheap thrills, he made an interesting, thought provoking, truly gets under your skin horror story. I would classify this as elevated horror my favorite kind.
Telling a story about the devil has never been more delicious. I didn’t expect this at all. When I started this trilogy, I was just expecting same old easy reading horror. What I got was so much more. Highly recommend for horror fans. But don’t expect a lot of gore or death or slasher type book. It’s none of those things, it’s deeper, better.
Can’t wait for book 3!

Similar to the first book in this series, I'm struggling with how to feel about this book.
The concept behind the story is great, and the author is clearly hitting on some important societal and philosophical topics, but editing would be useful.
In addition to a graphic chapter that didn't add to the story which was clearly inspired by American Psycho, some work on the dialogue and Joseph's relationship with the Devil would elevate the work. For example, when Joe learns early in the book that Lucifer isn't as benevolent as he likes to come across, Joe is struggling with a choice (sorry for being vague, but I'm trying to avoid spoilers). And he has a conversation with Joph turns everything around. But the writing in that conversation wasn't deep enough to make it believable - at least for me. It came across as just a bridge in the narrative to clear up a conflict.
And that's how I feel about most of the dialogue except for instances where Joe and Lucifer interact. I think the author poured a ton of energy into these moments, and it works very effectively. I wish the same care would apply to the rest of the story telling.

can’t wait for the next one!
Loved it. Great sequel. I have not been this enamored by a book,trilogy in some time. Excited to see where Harbron is going to take us with the next book. I rather like his writing style. Very descriptive but also precisely to the point. I always hated books that get so descriptive that you read pages and pages of superfluous detail. I also enjoy the way he details the protagonist’s decent. Excellent work Mr. Harbron!!!

A gripping, thought-provoking ride, Interview with the Devil: Resurrection balances spectacle with soul, ensuring its place on the shelves of thriller aficionados and theology buffs alike. Harbron’s vision is darkly divine—a testament to the enduring allure of light battling shadow.

Fantastic! As much as I enjoyed the first book, Interview With the Devil, I enjoyed Interview With the Devil: Resurrection even more. Michael Harbron out did himself. So well written I almost caught myself liking the Devil! But that can’t be. The book is rich with surprises, and unexpected thrills. New characters come into play and current characters continue to grow and develop. Throughout both books we see Josep Banbury growing and evolving from this psychotic, bordering on schizophrenic madman into a force to be reckoned with. Mid-way through the book is a big O-M-G surprise and an ending that just made me shake my head. I can’t wait until the third and final book is released.
Please hurry Michael Harbron!

Book Review: Interview with the Devil by Michael Harbron
***Spoiler Alert and Adult Theme. Be ye warned!***
I finished this book last Monday. It was a disappointing read, and I will explain why.
The author wastes his time and, worse, the reader's time leading up to the interview with the Devil. The reader will soon figure out that the author has made himself the main character, Joseph Banbury, who is the time-honored cliche of the misunderstood twin of a sister to a family that did not pay attention to him and goes on to be an uninteresting college student and morphs into the struggling drunk and manic author that spends a decade writing one book. The reader is dragged through this grueling, struggling writer trope for far too many chapters until Joseph finishes his masterpiece, Epoch.
Joseph bathes, gets cleaned up, and then heads to meet Lilly. Who is Lilly? You may ask. She's a big-time book editor for a significant editing firm in NYC. Joseph met Lilly a decade back in college when she went to his dorm to have sex, but they stopped when she happened to see Joseph's beginning manuscript for Epoch. Lilly told him that they could not have sex because she could tell this book was going to be a masterpiece and that she was going to be a big-time editor in NYC. Lilly did not want their future professional business mucked up by sex now. Lilly tells him to look her up when Joseph finishes Epoch, and she dashes out the door and out of Joseph's life until he finishes Epoch.
Cut to the chase: Lilly does not recognize Joseph. Annoyed to have this person lie to her receptionist to get into her office, she tells him to leave his manuscript and that she will let one of her underlings handle it. Lilly summarily dismisses Joseph.
For the two weeks that pass, we get to live in more of Joseph's descent into a drunk, unwashed, and starving madness until there is a knock on his door from Lilly. How did she find Joseph's apartment? Don't know! Joseph is passed out and doesn't hear the knocking, and Lilly, who is somehow a master lockpick, gets the door open and finds Joseph passed out, drunk, and unbathed. After waking Joseph up and getting him black coffee (I warned you about the cliches), she told the drunken heaps of bones how she had known who he was the whole time. Lilly didn't want Joseph to see that she remembered him and how excited she was to have Joseph come to her with his finished manuscript. Lily told Joseph how she went art-of-the-deal with the major publishers and landed him a $750k check for Epoch.
Before Lilly had Joseph sign the contract and their relationship became professional, she cashed in the sex raincheck from ten years ago. Lilly could not resist this half-drunk and two weeks without a shower man living in an apartment that was filthier than his ass. They have sex, in sad detail; after the sex scene is over, Joseph signs the contract, and they switch to business professionals.
Now, we are subjected to several chapters (which are years in the story) of Joseph riding the fame and fortune that Epoch made him for being the most provocative work about the Christian mythos the USA, nay the world, had seen in decades.
Before I wrap this up, something annoyed me beyond measure. I don't think the author has ever talked to an actual female in his entire life. Every female character in this book is the same, from his mother to every sex partner. They are dull, uninteresting, and there to serve the main character's needs.
I will give you a snippet of one such interaction: Joseph, now early thirties, go to an old pal's bookstore to do a book signing, and there is a twenty-year-old blonde with big boobs showing her great cleavage that acts clumsy and innocent until all the patrons and the owner leaves, and then she turns into a "sex minx," the author's words not mine, that has to have Joseph. He takes her to his posh home in the NYC area, and we are subjected to the worst sex scene in as much detail as possible. Trust me when I say that not only do I think the author has never met a woman, but I have my doubts he's ever had sex with a woman either. The following day, Joseph wakes her up and forces her to take a Plan B pill, and she is turned on again and has to have Joseph one more time before she is sent away in an Uber. What purpose do these sex scenes have to drive the plot forward? Not a damn thing.
After the mindless backstory, dull characters, a plot going nowhere, and a dullard for the main character, we finally meet the Devil in the novel. The Devil reads Epoch and is impressed with Joseph to the point that he reveals himself to him. He has to have Joseph interview him so all the world can know the story of the Devil as told by the Devil.
The Devil is a pretentious aristocratic moron that has a mansion created by Pablo Picasso because, of course, he does. The story ends after showing off his mansion and a few small chapters of pathetic highbrow bits of dialogue.
There was no nuance of exploration into a dark world or conversation that provoked more profound thought or struck that fun prick of fear from good horror storytelling. The story is founded on the bones of dead cliches and grossly overused tropes mixed with the male author's sin of writing the worst female characters imaginable or unimaginable if you'd prefer. Interview with the Devil is a waste of a good book title.

Even though the content is extreme for my taste, the book is very well written. The murder of Cindy is very brutal with graphic torture. Devils prophet. Devils son.

This book was worse than the first one. I read this book out of curiosity, particularly about the “Interview” of the title. There was little detail or information about the actual interview, so that was disappointing. What this book had were several sections detailing graphic violence, including rape, which seemed to go on beyond the narrative need, if only to give the author the opportunity to describe a character’s “cock” and its state at various points.
The writing in this book was very awkward and there were many places where I wondered if the author is familiar with English, because the usage was so odd. Here are a few examples:
“Shaun saw the severity of emotion in Joe’s eyes and knew immediately that Joe had played poker at tables Shaun could only dream of.” – Severity? Not “depth” or something like that? What does this even mean?
“He turned his head around omnisciently, then smiled at Joe, raising his whiskey” – I can’t think of any reason to use “omnisciently” to describe how a person turns his head. If I were his editor, I would have left that word out completely, because it doesn’t help at all.
“(The Devil) wasn’t one to indulge in a little egocentrism from time to time, but attending a Black Mass held in his honor, that was taking things a little too far, even by his standards. “ – So he didn’t indulge in egocentrism, but felt that a Black Mass in his honor was going too far? The word “but” indicates a contradiction is coming, but in this sentence, there is no contradiction between previous behavior and current feeling. This sentence is unnecessarily convoluted and obscures the intended meaning. Why not something like, “He indulged in a little egocentrism from time to time…but…” or “While not modest in most ways, attending…”?
To sum up, this author could have used an editor to clean things up, solve problems with subject and verb agreement, and curtail the overuse of inappropriate adjectives and adverbs.
As far as the story went, the motives of some of the characters got muddy and confusing. Why would Lilly, a previously successful agent, be let go from her job? Surely authors leave publishers all the time and experienced agents deal with it. Why does the Devil put Joe in Hell? Is it punishment or training? Why was Joe’s dad (who got a reprieve from certain death) such a negative, unpleasant person? No gratitude (to whoever)? Why did the priest get killed, if Joe was only going to get the story from the horse’s mouth, anyway? I had so many questions that didn’t get answered.
There is at least one more book in this series, but I think I’m going to skip it, because the quality only keeps getting worse, and the plot makes little sense.

A good read and sort of different when it comes to horror. I enjoyed that, as the middle book of a trilogy, it wasn’t just more of the same. There was huge story and character development.
Joe has never really been likable. In book one, he was an alcoholic with psych problems. You felt bad for him, but he isn’t someone you’d want to be around. Yes, he’s well-read and can probably carry on an interesting conversation. But you can tell he smells like cigarette smoke and BO. In other words, perfect for the Devil to corrupt.
In book two, Joe has become e trembly unlikeable. BUT, that’s because he’s being corrupted. The Devil goes step by step using manipulation tactics to allow Joe to fall. It’s interesting to watch. Book three better pay off.
Now about that rape scene. One this is horror, so reading this terrible stuff is part of it. Two, this is all about the Devil, so you should really expect stuff that is twisted and insane. The problem comes with the fact that the two characters involved have only been just introduced. We know little about either of the. As a result, we don’t really care about them. Worse, their inclusion does absolutely nothing to advance the story. As others have suggested, you could cut the chapters out and never notice. It honestly felt as if it were written after an editor told the author he needed another few thousand words.
The same happened with the scene of where the priest is murdered (although I honestly can’t remember which book it was in). We get a whole chapter of Joe imagining that he’s a fictional character. Very out of place and out of character. The rape scene feels the same: just out of place and weird.
But otherwise, I enjoy the book. I’m hoping we’ll see a redemption at the end. There are some strong religious messages coursing through these books. I’d really hate to see it end with Joe ruling over Hell on Earth.

After reading the first book in this series, I knew I had to read the second one right away. In the first book, Joe seeks out answers to some of life’s most thought-provoking questions from the Devil himself. During this interview, the Devil explains his version of life events and how he perceives humanity. The character development in the first book is phenomenal and so necessary for setting the tone in the second book.
The second book continues with the discussions from book one, but goes much deeper into these topics and is much more intense. The Devil dives into his perspective of the world, its creation and consequences of choices made by humans. In this book, the Devil seems to have a more sinister plan for Joe when he decides not to write his book. This was a very fast paced read and will keep you on the edge of your seat. There were so many twists and turns that I did not see coming.
The scene where Joe thinks he’s meeting a teacher for dance lessons in the school gym gave me weird/creeper vibes and then when it turned into a horrific scene, I loved every second of it. This book has more gore and violence and it truly had me captivated. I felt like I was watching a horror film in my mind.
There is a trigger warning on the very first page of the book that pertains to chapter 12, so if you have any triggers, I suggest reading that page or skipping that chapter. I don’t have many triggers, so for me, it just added more intensity to the story. For any true horror fan, I very highly recommend this series. The writing is incredible and the topics brought up will have you thinking for days after.
Since this one ended on a major cliffhanger, I can’t wait to dive into the third book.

Should have a trigger warning
Let me start with the fact that I really enjoyed the first book and the angle with which the author was heading with the tale. As someone raised in a vert Christian household, i found Joeand his family almost eerily relatable. It was original and entertaining.
I went head first into the second thinking it would be more of the same, and while it mostly was, there was a chapter out of nowhere that included an extremely graphic SA/DTH scene that stretched on for the entire chapter and into another. I'm not one to get queezy very easily, but it upset me so much that I didn't eat the rest of the day.
As someone who has been a victim in the past, I feel that this flip in narrative without any warning was unwarranted and added nothing to the story except an awful gore factor that wasn't necessary to keep the reader in an 'edge of your seat moment' psychologically. The characters involved really didn't even add much to the overall arc.
Even with that being taken into account, I probably would've otherwise given it 3 stars, but there were also numerous missed edits and typos in the book that made it feel slightly rushed or thrown together.
Overall, this one was a disappointment at best and an immense uneccesary psychological trigger for anyone who has been on the wrong side of an assault at worst. You had me on the first one and halfway through this one! Just an odd and unprecedented tone switch mid second book to throw me off an entire author because now I can't trust the writing not to put me into therapy or night terrors. Thanks!

The Review
What an incredible sequel to the first book in this series! The author did an incredible job of crafting a story that really built upon the mythos and narrative laid down in the first book. One of the first things that stood out to me was how the author explored a writer’s relationship to the craft of writing, from writing for themselves versus writing for others to the responsibility of telling the right story.
Joseph’s evolution and the volatile and charged sessions interviewing the Devil really kicked this story up a notch. The imagery and powerful world-building that the author poured into this sequel only served to elevate Joseph’s journey, toeing the line between sci-fi and fantasy storytelling and exploring the power and influence of the human psyche as well. The themes of order versus chaos, control versus freedom, and the true nature of “good and evil” made for compelling narratives, and the author really embraced the horror nature of this novel, crafting some chilling scenes that will stay with readers long after the book ends.
The Verdict
Shocking, entertaining, and harrowing, author Michael Harbron’s “Interview with the Devil: Resurrection” is a must-read supernatural horror fantasy thriller. The twists in the narrative as the author explores both the Devil and Joseph much more closely in this sequel and the cliffhanger ending will stay with readers, who will be eager for the third book in this trilogy.

Did anyone else brain explode after reading this? This book just went from 0 to 60 so fast. I couldn’t put this down, it was so engaging and made my heart race especially at the end with the resurrection. I love that up until now you really don’t know if the devil is really with Joe or not. It can easily be interpreted either way but now there is no doubt. I love the idea of giving the world concrete proof and just rolling with it. To think that Joe was just a write a second ago and is now this powerful being is impressive. It’s so hard to get all my thoughts out coherently because I’m just in shock. The only thing I will say is when the devil kind of back tracked on the being Joe’s father thing just to finally come out and confirm it, I thought that was a bit lack luster. When the devil was showing Joe him fucking the mom and I was like “oh shit he’s the devils son” like that moment was really powerful and it made all of the things that happened to Joe in his youth make sense. Idk if it needed a fake out just to bring it back to the same conclusion because when the devil finally said “you’re my son” I was like “yea no shit”. That’s it! Just a little technical thing that I wish was done a bit better but holy shit.
Oh also that whole violent rape/murder scene between those two book reviewers I thought was super unnecessary and gross. :)

Holy H-E-Double Hockey Sticks!
Literally, holy hell. The transformative nature of these books is almost as incredible as the fictional books worn by the main character, author Joseph Banbury. The words, collective concepts and the historical references truly make your mind ponder the great questions - especially the greatest question: what is truth in religion?
Despite my high holiday lackadaisical Protestant upbringing, I always, from a very, very young age questioned all about the world around me. When we are young, that world is small like ourselves. As we grow, the world expands and in a parallel manner, so do the questions.
I have always been and will probably remain a believer in something greater, a place and brings far beyond our current capacity to understand.
This is a phenomenal series, and I recommend it to anyone who finds themselves even slightly interested in the premise. Five Stars for this volume and I surmise that the following volumes will be rated the same. That is faith in Mr. Habron’s literary prowess. Thank you for putting these takes to the page - it must have been and probably remains both a thrill and a drain on the psyche. Fear not, your efforts are more than appreciated.
Enjoy!, my fellow readers and questioners.

“Time, Joseph, is strange. It’s not linear. It’s a complex weave. Fates entwine, ordinary events dictate great happenings, and little people end up doing big things.”
This is the second book in the series and another masterpiece. It’s captivating and much darker and more gory than the first one. We see a lot more of The Devil in this one. We do still get glimpses of Joseph’s childhood as well but the pacing is a lot faster.
Time is a big theme from the very beginning. Time has changed the original characters, but none more so than Joseph. Well, I think fame and some other factors played a role in his transformation. You’ll have to read it to find out. We also see a different side of The Devil and of Hell. The Devil is still absolutely fascinating.
The author did an excellent job in book one of world building and character development. It paid off! He does continue world building in book two but he also really runs with the plot. It felt like I was there. Everything was so vivid in my mind. I love his writing style!
This was dark, violent, and thought-provoking. I freaking loved it! Highly recommend! If you decide to read it, check trigger warnings.

needs seasoning.
Less Stephen King slurping than the initial installment which we will consider a positive. Dialogue is still trash. He has a literary agent that, throughout both novels in the series so far, says the words "Crikey, Mate" enough times it'll make you wonder if the author has an obsession with Steve Irwin in addition to the SK mancrush.
I really wanted this to have cleaned up some. The first novel was a really cool idea that the author needed to sit with for awhile. What could've been actually amazing horror just reads like pulp, but not in a good, fun way.
Also, just as a trigger warning, there is an incredibly graphic SA scene that is an incredible example of doing way too much. Harbron, imagine a world in which you're able to convey all the anxiety, disgust, confusion, fear, anger, etc that you were trying to communicate with that scene, but in such a manner that you're not required to write hackneyed graping scenes and are instead able to use your seasoned command of the written word to create a scene that tells enough of how the characters are reacting while allowing the reader's imagination to fill in the blanks.

All Hail The Newly Crowned Prince??
This book is the second of this trilogy. Spoiler alert: The first two books end in a major cliffhanger. Despite its title, which, if I’m honest, is why I read the first book. The writing is very detailed & concise, although he needs a new editor (not bad at all. It’s a pet peeve of mine 🤷♀️). The prose flows well. I just…IDK how to write down my thoughts on this book other than to say that it’s thought provoking, which is what this author intended IMO. I’ll also add that it’s NOT a horror novel, so no guts or gore. It’s graphic in some areas but nothing anyone can’t handle esp in this day & age. I’m thinking about reading the last book in the series just to see how the story evolves further. I’ll post a review if I do. If not, such is life. Bottom line: the book is worth a read. Someone plz cue “Running With The Devil”….

So book 2....
Mr. Harbron performed like the author in this book where his book two was a glorious and world bending phenomenon ...
Although his first book was a slam dunk, this book was a grand slam....
Moving away from his literary forefathers, this book edged its way through the dark superheroes of DC with elements if Jesus had gone dark sprinkled in. In this book, Joe/Jesus was led into the wilderness and was tempted by the Devil... however, is the Devil really all that bad..
Also... "LUKE, AM I YOUR FATHER..." came into my head while reading this book and I loved it. It also reminded me a LOT of reading Son of Rosemary if Rosemary was a jerk of a mother.
This book was INSANE.... The Devil has many faces and this book was no exception. I cannot wait for book 3 which is giving me Season of the Witch vibes and I am ALLLLLL for it!

Mesmerizing and a breath of fresh air
I started this series with the prequel "Witch" that focuses on Lily. It has evolved into a series that will be unforgettable to me and to many who read it.
As a person who grew up in a Pentecostal family full of preachers, I've had my own bit of religious trauma to work through. Today, I use my experience in my professional work as a therapist to help others who have had similar experiences.
Heaven and hell and the afterlife being your own conceptualization is not a new take, but it is done so well and with laser precision in these pages.
I commend Mr. Harbron not only for his writing finesse, but for the way he can potentially actually help thousands with these concepts.

As if the first one wasn't crazy enough, the second book ups the ante and leaves you wondering what's real and what's not.
I will say this about Harbron, he doesn't shy away from the dark stuff.
Throughout it all, I wondered how Joe could endure so much.
If there's one thing that I will say about this plot without giving away any spoilers, it's that each chapter hits you with a curveball, straight out of nowhere. You think you're getting the hang of the narrative, and then, wham! Something completely unexpected happens.
And that third act....*chef's kisses*
Cannot wait for the third part!

Potential
I was a bit letdown. I found the first book to be unique and cerebral. It was disappointing that this one devolved so quickly into graphic gay sex and continuity errors. The book would definitely benefit from a good editor as there are numerous grammatical errors, awkward dialogue, misused words, and the aforementioned continuity issues. That being said, I think the author has astounding potential - I hope he continues writing and connects with a professional editor.

So much better than the first installment. This has a unique storyline that was executed very well. I knocked off a full star because of the completely unnecessary SA scene. It added absolutely nothing to the plot or furtherance of any character’s development. Just a weird little side story that was unbelievably graphic, for no real reason.
As much as I liked this book, it doesn’t really set itself up to make the 3rd installment a must-read. I’m perfectly content ending with the 2nd novel. Overall, this was a nice reward for making it past the very tedious 1st novel.

While this one was far faster paced than the first book, some things to me weren't needed. I get the first very detailed rape scene was needed to set the story, but the other very awful detailed rape, to me, wasn't necessary. I skipped almost all of it and wished I had looked up triggers beforehand. I figured it would be like the first book, so I didn't bother. My mistake. Other than that, it went in a different direction than I thought. I'm not sure if I'll read the last book, but this one definitely ended and left me curious.

I really loved the first book. It had such an interesting plot and I loved the story. So unique, so detailed, not too long!
This book was CRAP! It jumped around a lot. There is a very graphic portion of the book with a rape/murder scene, and it was one of the worst things I’ve read in years. I am feeling very disappointed! The plot did not go the way I hoped it would. The details of the plot kept being removed or changed. I won’t read the third one!
