I love Samael’s role in this series. He does things that benefit him while manipulating other people’s lives. Sam has decided that Gabriel needs to experience desire. Following a desire is what caused Sam’s fall. In the process of tempting Gabe, Sam plans on using Hope’s desperation to put a book into print on the internet so that the world will have access to the information in its pages.

I did not feel Hope and Gabriel’s insta-love. Hope had feelings of love immediately after a very traumatic event in her already depressed life after spending just a day with Gabe while assuming he is a murdering demonic slave of the Devil’s. His insta-love feelings bothered me due to the fact that he has existed a gazillion years among the humans and has never been attracted to one, then he meets Hope and immediately falls in love with her.

I will continue reading this series. I love Sammy! I also think Garey has something big in store for him with the next book. The ending leads me to believe that anyhow.

I think this book could easily be read as a standalone. The events that took place in Devil Without a Cause are not mentioned. The Nicki Styx fans that follow this series will be pleased that she has a small role in A Devil Named Desire.
