My rating: 5 of 5 stars
It's been a while since I read a book in one sitting, but I devoured this book in one session.
Jack, a damned ex-priest, is not a hero by any measure, nor is his demon, Math. They are, however, bound by a great deal more than a simple contract for jack's soul. The heat between them is incandescent. And while Jack doesn't bother often with hope, he still feels like this one time, he needs to do the right thing. There's a little girl involved, an innocent.
This isn't a long book, although I wanted more of it. Ms. Moore is an artist who paints with words. Her prose is rich, and savage. It grabs you by the throat and doesn't let go. I could see what she described, smell it, taste it. Ms. Moore has a gift, and while some people might think it's a bit dark, I thought it was delicious.
