Sarah's Reviews > Where Death Meets the Devil

4th re-read. I absolutely love this series and can’t resist reading it again anytime I manage to convince a new friend to try it. This was such a fun and hilarious buddy reading experience and I still got my yearly fix of Ethan and Jack. I think it is so bloody clever, the subtlety to the plot is brilliant and i love the intricacy of the story’s background and its back and forth time line. Knowing what is going to be revealed in future books just added to the stakes in this and made me love the characters even more. I found myself still laughing at the dry humour and just generally thoroughly impressed once again by this authors writing style and how captivated I have been by these characters. Also kudos to writing a book set in Australia and doing it well. There is no awkward outdated slang, Jack is a sexy man of Indian/Australian heritage and there are zero cringey Aussie cliches. Ethan remains my unrivalled ultimate badass favourite book character.

I loved this, highly recommend and can’t wait to get stuck back into the novellas and book 2. Reading this alone was brilliant but seeing it through the eyes of fresh readers and experiencing their enjoyment of it with them has been so much fun.

The novellas are a must read! They add so much to the story, some are lighter than others but there is essential background information that’s pertinent to the central plot and character development.

Oh and also this first book js currently no longer published but the audio book is available and as I strong armed my friends into reading this I contacted the author and she very kindly sent a free kindle copy. She is contactable on her website email and was lovely. The other books will all remain available.

Every read - 5+ stars
