If I could sum up The Devil Made Me Do It in one word I’d
choose fun. The characters are super likable and the plot moves at a pace that
never leaves the reader bored. I adored Lily and Luc and I immediately got
sucked back into the plot that started in the first book Speak of the Devil.
I haven’t been reading a lot of YA books lately and Romkey’s
novel was a reminder of why I always go back to the genre. I love the sweet
romance depicted in YA books and Luc and Lily were such a cute couple. Luc is
just so earnest and protective that I was swooning while reading. Not that Lily
needed protecting all the time since she has a strong side to her personality
as well.
The heaven and hell mythology in the series is unique and I
liked the author’s spin on angels, demons and the devil himself. All of the
characters in the book, even the bad guys, have so many layers to their
personality. The characterizations and world building seemed improved over the
book’s predecessor.
YA paranormal romance fans should definitely check out the
series. I wouldn’t necessarily say The Devil Made Me Do It could be read as a
standalone, so I would suggest starting with Speak of the Devil. There is a
cliffhanger ending in the second book, but it will sure make everyone super
eager as I am to read the next installment.
Rating: 5/5 Stars
