Review: Bitter Aries by Paul Sating 4 of 5 stars

Bitter Aries by Paul Sating
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Demon Ezekial Sunstone (Zeke) is the exception to the rule - he is a demon without any magic. That means he has very little going for him with no job and no prospects. Then Lucifer's Council select him for a special mission - he is to be sent to the surface to Seattle to find a runaway demon who is also one of the oldest and strongest demons ever - yes he could redeem himself but he could also be humiliated once again in life. As a demon with no ability and no choice, how can they think he is right for this mission?

I really enjoyed this story which was a different spin on the usual demon stories and I enjoyed the chance to learn a little more about demons and their skills. I loved Zeke and his personality and how even though he was used to being tormented he was the one who thought things through and was by far the most mature of his friends and acquaintances. There was time for a lot of instances of magic and it was also a great lesson in politics around demons and their environment. Well written and easy to read and understand, it was a joy to read and I was therefore partially disappointed to get to the end of this book. I'm looking forward to reading the next one now.
