Synopsis:


The Goddess of Death, the Grimm Brothers, and the Devil collide in a thrilling new paranormal fantasy series.

Primrose Titan is the Goddess of Death, an ancient deity who reaps the souls of the dead and rules the Underworld. All life ends with death, and in death, there is no happiness. Primrose knows this better than anyone, and her heavy responsibility has twisted her reality, purging her of all feelings for humans—or so she believes.

When the Demon King Lucifer escapes his prison in Hell and threatens chaos on the human world, Primrose must hunt him down. The High Court, a council of deities, is skeptical Primrose can handle Lucifer on her own and appoints the handsome yet icy Atlas Grimm, one of the fabled Grimm Brothers, to assist her. Strange, dark magic and supernatural creatures sent from the Devil himself stand in their way, along with political enemies acquired over the millennia.

As a huge fan of the fantasy genre in general, if you know me.. you know some of my favorite stories are in the theme of the gods/goddesses or fallen angel/demon tropes. So, I was really excited to give this book a read when I saw the synopsis for it.


The premise is an interesting one with Lucifer on the loose and the Goddess of Death on the hunt for him. I liked the way the cast was built from a variety of tales.. not only gods, goddesses, angels, and demons, but also some fun additions like the Grimm Brothers. Add to that, the way they got their way to the council table.. and it certainly had a lot of potential from the get-go.


There's plenty of action, in fact there are moments where it almost feels like a gauntlet quest, and that plays pretty well here. Fabled characters have been modernized to suit the theme of the story and there's a fair amount of subterfuge seemingly happening at all times as well.


If you like options, there are a couple of romantic interests here.. but while I definitely had my own preference, I wasn't really invested in any of them with the protagonist. All the characters are moderately interesting, they just don't have a ton of depth and I didn't find myself connecting that much.

​
Nonetheless, it's a fun story.. worth checking out.
