Cruel Beauty
by Rosamund Hodge
The first half of this book was enticingly interesting and fun until Nyx didn't know if she wanted to kill him or kiss his face off and fractions happened.
I really enjoyed reading about Nyx wrestling with her dark feelings, loving her family and hating them at the same time. Her father was so trifling that he should have been on Dr. Phil. Anyway, I enjoyed some of Ignifex's wit and his countless smiles at Nyx's murder attempts. I also like the exposure of Astraia's own dark nature. I hadn't been expecting that!
The romance was just okay, but I found the mystery aspect more compelling.
Overall, this was a good story filled with Greek mythology and deals with the devil. I didn't care for the ending or the Nyx and Shade connection which happened way too fast. Still, I think it's worth reading.
