A book about good and evil. In way it reminds me of Supernatural because there is God and Lucifer/Satan fighting in that show a lot. I thought it was a good story. *This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.*

The ultimate battle between God & Satan with the fate of all humankind at stake. How could you go wrong with this storyline?

I enjoyed this book, even more than I expected to. Perhaps I am just as guilty as the characters of preconceived notions concerning religion. I found the story entertaining, suspenseful, riveting, and extremely thought-provoking.

Please give this one a read. It's a unique concept. Put one person of every religion known into a magical space. Satan bets they will kill each other over their religious bias while God bets on the inherent good in the heart of all his children. Who will win this chess match? You have to read to find the answer.

What is it about?

God and the Devil make a dangerous wager to determine once and for all if humanity is good or evil.

Was it good?

This is a short book that felt well researched. All of the characters were unique. I was fascinated with the descriptions of all the different religions. 

And yet, I was disappointed by God. (Don't smite me!) I expected some underhanded shenanigans from the Devil, but I really feel like God cheated on this bet. I would have liked to see the same ending come about more naturally.
