Soft on the Devil
by Robert Lampros
*WON A COPY FROM A GOODREADS GIVEAWAY*
What an interesting little novella. I was unsure how to feel at first because the epigraph is an excerpt from the Bible. I am not a religious person, and literature based on religious beliefs is usually a no-go for me (see my review for [b:Children of Angels|13327316|Children of Angels|Lynn Salisbury|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1328330862s/13327316.jpg|18454463]). It's just not my thing. But this one caught my attention and reeled me in quickly. I love a good murder mystery, and I quite enjoyed this one. Its religious connections are actually well thought out and placed in the best places within the story. Bonus: they connect to the context perfectly.
I was fascinated by the main character and his descriptions. Plus it is told from his point of view, which greatly adds to the emotion and suspense of the story as it progresses.
A downfall for me is pieces left unfinished. If any part of a plot line--the smallest of details--isn't completed by the author in some way, chances are high that I'll hate the book. I hate loose ends. But this is not one of those books; [a:Robert Lampros|14111189|Robert Lampros|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1435538751p2/14111189.jpg] tied up every little detail and character in his story into one big, beautiful bow. I love it.
