Okay so remember listening to the radio and you would almost get a station but you couldn’t QUITE get it. I swear that’s the experience of reading this book. I’m DOA, grab the paddles.
Good premise but? Put the thesaurus down and worry about the flow of your story. All together confusing and wanes throughout the book. Just a rough read.

Listen, I’m as devastated as you are. Thank you NetGalley and Tor for the digital ARC.

As much as I didn’t enjoy this novel, I have to give it some credit- it’s ambitious. It squeezes a lot in to these pages, vampires, celestial beings, angels, devils, Gods. But that’s also where its weakness lies.

This was such a strong start, and immediately caught my attention. And this attention was caught until the introduction of the “God-maker,” Cera, whose narrative we followed every 3 or 4 chapters. I read on, hoping that when the protagonist figures it out, I would too. I did not, and maybe that’s on me? Which is why I’m not going to write a full review up.

1) I couldn’t tell you what actually happened.
2) That’s likely my fault.

Devils Kill Devils is perfect for fans of Silvia Moreno-Garcia's Certain Dark Things and Southern gothic horror. Johnny Compton brings his trademark terror and dread that readers fell in love with in The Spite House to a new roster of monsters—angels, devils, vampires—and a heart-pounding race to save the world.When all hell breaks loose, you need a devil on your sideSarita has been watched over by a guardian angel her entire life. She calls him Angelo, and keeps him a secret. But secrets can’t stay buried forever…When Angelo murders someone she loves, Sarita begins to see what's really been lurking in the shadows surrounding her. And she will have to embrace the evil within if she hopes to make it out alive.Johnny Compton, critically acclaimed author of The Spite House and master of dread, takes you on a terrifying race of one woman against the hordes of hell

Southern Gothic horror at it's finest. Interesting characters and a good plot. While not too "scary", I did find this creepy and interesting all the way through until the end. Plenty to enjoy here for fans of the genre:)
