Book: Midlife in Hell by Jb Trepagnier
Reviewed by Booksbystarlightandshadows
Rating: 3.5/5
I really liked that Sydney was older, knew her own mind and just got on with it; she is a total breath of fresh air. I enjoyed the pop culture references throughout and the plot surrounding Lucifer was engaging with plenty of plotting and backstabbing as Sydney tries to navigate the new world she finds herself in.
It's briskly paced with a lot packed in but there is plenty of action and comedy with a bit of spice too. I found Nero and Celix a little interchangeable however I really liked Kujo. The scene with the painting was brilliant and genuinely made me laugh as did "babygirl". The cliffhanger was a bit of a surprise and I'm keen to see what happens in book two.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
My interpretation of the star system;
3 stars - I enjoyed it; would read the author again
4 stars - I really liked it; I am invested and definitely want more from this author/series
5 stars - I loved it; I engaged with this book completely until I finished it and it is one I will re-read
