A Deal with the Devil is book two in the Devil trilogy by USA Today bestselling author Amelia Wilde. The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea must be read first.

Evaluări și recenzii

Some books paint vivid pictures and some paint sensations with words. The Devil trilogy is from the later category for me. As with the first book, this sequel to this Poseidon and Amphitrite retelling was an emersion in the troubled waters of the ocean. Amelia Wilde uses a lot of sea metaphors to express how her characters feel. The sea is ever present and so evocative. This second book is more about Poseidon, the deeply broken anti-hero. We get glimpses of his horrific past with his foster dad, Chronos. We witness his trauma, understand what drives him, witness him grow as a person, find love and finally let himself believe in it. Ashley goes through some trauma of her own. She is no longer as weak as in the first book but I didn't witness a lot of real character growth either. However, the story twists bring new challenges for her. The book ends in a big cliffhanger, showing just how much Poseidon has changed since the beginning of the story. Looking forward to the finale of this trilogy.
