Devils Kill Devils is a wild read, and I suggest you go into this book knowing as little about it as possible first.

After a wickedly strong opening chapter, it took me a bit to get into this one.  Devils Kill Devils is It’s very different from Compton’s debut novel, The Spite House.  

His mythologies around vampires, angels, and demons are fascinating and complex, which I found a bit intimidating while reading it.

However, I kept going and the read was worth the effort. There are moments of tragedy and visceral, hypnotic fear.

Sarita is a great protagonist, and I love that Compton wrote her as resilient but not overly strong. She felt like a real person in the middle of an insane situation. The supporting characters were wonderfully developed.

I’m very curious to see what Compton comes up with next.

Thank you to Tor Nightfire and Netgalley for my review copy of this book.
