The general idea of Satan’s daughter integrating into human society was great, and I think it was well portrayed. I really enjoyed the main plot. I recommend this book to those who enjoy a good love triangle and cool demonic fights. And also for those of you who enjoy the aesthetics of pretty books. The chapter headers are cool, which I really appreciate.
I have just started reading the book and after reading your comment I have become more interested in reading it further as soon as possible.

I really enjoyed this book, character development is one of my priorities and it was executed beautifully. I like the idea of lucifer's daughter having to adapt to the human world. Looking at things from her perspective was a very nice touch.

The thought of this author was genius to read. The way the plot and the storyline was built round Cecilia. The story was full of suspense as i was eager to find out how Satan's daughter would survive and cope amidst humans. I enjoy the sample copy. longing for more.

Susan Gibbs wrote: 01 Dec 2021, 01:40 From the sample, the writing style appeared to be enjoyable. The author described and explained everything well. The text flowed. It was quite suspenseful as I was not sure what to expect. It was interesting how the story was told from Cecelia's perspective, even when she was a 3-day old baby. The main character seems interesting and complex. The idea of Cecelia escaping and attending a human school is truly unique. The theme of good and evil is always a successful one. Fantasy is also a popular escapist theme that will appeal to many. Although the book appears to be well written and I think it will prove popular, particularly to young adults, I probably won't be recommending it to others, as this genre is not my favourite. Well done to the author for her creativity and imagination.
I thought that fantasy books tended to appeal to a younger audience, specially with themes regarding bad and good characters and teenagers. However, sometimes this sort of books may make readers realize that they too can enjoy some aspects of a more childlike or your adult piece, specially when it is well written and it has good story telling skills.

I have never been into the YA genre but this book captivated me. What I like most is how unique, the spiritual aspect and how the romance was infused into the plot. I did not like how the book focused so much on Cecilia in school. I would have loved to hear more about the school structure and how life was for other students. How Cecilia is in a dilemma to choose good and evil is just like any young person struggling with one this or another.

The book was well-written and fascinating. The like the concept of the book and the thrill it brings. What I liked the least about it was the role Lucifer played in his daughter's life.
The writing style was unique and the book consists of genres like romance, horror, etc. I recommend the book to those who enjoy reading romance and horror filled books.

Overall, I have a positive opinion of the book. I especially like the character development of the protagonist, Cecilia. The author did a great job of describing her conflicting feelings and showing how she matures throughout the book. Also, the writing style was easy to understand and to feel immersed into the world created by the author. For these reasons, I would definitely recommend this book to others like me, who enjoy fantasy fiction novels.

I wanted to love the book, but in the end, I only liked it. I gave it a rating of 3. I thought that it lacked description and left too much to the imagination. So many times, an idea was presented, and I would think, okay I like this, but then it moved on, and I didn't get enough information to form an idea of the school, town, and even the other students. Where were the teachers in all of this? I don't think the author was mean enough. Cecilia sailed through her problems too easily. In fact, high school was hell for me, and she made it look like heaven.

The unique and intriguing plot is my favorite aspect of the book. Satan's daughter in a book is enough to draw attention and keep a reader glued to a story. Thanks to the humor and well-developed characters, this is a four-star book for me.

Mary is a very skillful storyteller. I would say I enjoyed the plot of the story more. Satan has a daughter? No one would see this coming. I was very impressed. Would totally recommend this book to anyone.

Introducing suspense and romance got me immersed while reading, and these two contents were my reason for the full rating.
It included lots of interesting elements; as already mentioned by others above, that keeps the reader engaged and wanting to find out more. The plot twists and turns and all the good verses evil are very appealing to many readers. I'll definitely recommend this novel to everyone

The plot was interesting, but I didn’t like the main character. I thought she had very little personality, and the only character I liked was Sebastian. The setting and atmosphere was explained very nicely.
