This book is hililarous. Which is just what I was looking for when I picked this book. Plus who could ask for more when the devil is a woman (of course)about to get married and her daughter is a succubus, wedding planner. Well maybe a hunky demon slayer. So what do you get when you mix all of these things together...The Devil's in the Details!
Jess is not your typical succubus. In fact, I would almost call her a poser. She does ooze sex appeal but she uses it for good and not evil. Wich is a good thing as you don't really want to have to worry about your wedding planner sleeping with your groom.
While this book is aimed towards romance. There is not a lot of hooking up between Jess and Cutter. In fact they don't really hook up until the last third of the story. Also, don't let this book fool you as there are not many paranormal elements featured either. This book is just for the laughs. Which is never a bad thing.

First Thought when Finished: The Devil's in the Details by Kimberly Raye was a super cute cozy mystery/paranormal romance that made me laugh out loud!
Quick Thoughts:
The Good: Characters were fun. Story was a unique twist on the 4 horseman (one I thought worked). The mystery was well plotted. The book was a quick easy read that left me with a smile on my face.
The Meh: Really only two things: too much repetition and the end was a little to open ended for a stand alone novel. The case was wrapped up but there were other things that were not.
Audio Thoughts:
Amy did an EXCELLENT job with the narration! She had just the right amount of sass, brass, and spunk. Her male narrations were pretty spot on too. Overall enjoyable.

I have a serious problem with this cute, quirky paranormal chick lit novel - it's not even officially out until October, but I need the sequel right now. Thanks to Jackie Kessler's [b:Hell's Belles|374343|Hell's Belles (Hell on Earth, #1)|Jackie Kessler|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1347462795s/374343.jpg|364231], I love a PNR with a plucky succubus heroine, and Jessie (Jezebel) Damon fits the mold. Jessie is the daughter of Satan herself, and finds herself planning her mom's impending wedding. The problem is, a superhot demon slayer is gunning for dear old mom, and despite her promise to herself to stay on the straight-and-narrow and abandon her succubus ways, Jessie feels an undeniable attraction to him. I had a minor panic when I realized there weren't enough pages left in the book for the Jessie-Cutter storyline to resolve itself, which is why I need the second book, 'The Devil Made Me Do It,' right now, please.

I don't remember why I have this ebook. Some kind of freebie or part of a bundle. But hey, sometimes a bit of nonsense about a demon wedding planner seems like it might be fun. But no. It's just dull, and scattered with subtle sexism for good measure.
MC has a child's view of love and marriage, which might make sense for a reformed demon and would be fine if that was the point and going somewhere, but it doesn't seem like it. So it just becomes shallow motivation.
This book does that thing where a single character trait (in this case having a large sweet tooth) needs to come up *constantly*. Not sure how a pack of Lifesavers survives a full day when she can't get through a single conversation without popping a couple. The number of words wasted on scarfing doughnuts and watching reality TV is significant.

Jess Damon runs an up-and-coming wedding planning business. She's also a succubus, a daughter of Satan, and trying out being non-demonic. With her mother (the aforementioned Satan) coming to her for a rush wedding and a legendary demon hunter chasing them both down, Jess is looking doomed.
This appears to have been the start of a series that didn't get off the ground. It's fairly easy to see why. While it's humorous most of the time with the harried wedding planner shtick, adding Jess's enormous demon family on top of things just ends up making things silly. Or actually macabre if you actually think about any of it. Which of course you're not meant to as its trying to be a silly rom-com. So what does it say about how successful it is at that when my mind kept wandering off to things like where exactly did that demon aunt get the glass of AB- she's drinking?
Light, entertaining fair that eventually leads to nothing much.

She's the daughter of Satan and the granddaughter of the Devil himself. He's a renowned demon Hunter. What could go wrong? Everything, apparently, with kidnapping plots, threats written in blood on bathroom mirrors and Satan herself getting married.
Cute story where the heroine saves the hero for once.
