The Date from Hell by Gwenda Bond digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

"The apocalyptic beach read that everyone needs." - Alix E. Harrow, Hugo Award-winning author on Not Your Average Hot Guy

In The Date from Hell, the sequel to Not Your Average Hot Guy, New York Times bestselling author Gwenda Bond brings the journey of Callie, Luke, and their friends to a wonderful close. This is another laugh out loud, action-packed romantic adventure you won’t want to miss.

After saving the world and stopping the apocalypse, Callie and Luke are looking forward to a quiet, romantic weekend together. When you’re human and dating the Prince of Hell, quiet moments are hard to come by. But their romantic weekend in Hell takes a turn when Lucifer tasks Callie and Luke with chasing a wayward soul around the world. If they can prove it’s possible to redeem a soul, Lucifer will allow the two of them to make some changes in Hell.

But this wayward soul, Sean, doesn’t have any interest in being redeemed. Instead, now that he’s back on Earth, he’s decided to take a leaf out of Callie and Luke’s book and wants to find the Holy Grail. Now Callie, Luke, and their friends—and enemies—must race Sean around the globe on a Grail quest and bring peace between Heaven and Hell before they can finally (maybe) get around to that date.

“Definitely loads better than the first book, but the last 1/3 of it once again got boring. When the books revolve around adventure, love, and family dynamics that's where they really hit those sweet spots. Yet when they start delving into those religious themes, it's where they taper off and get into the boring zone. AKA ticket to snooze fest. I highly doubt I would recommend this duology to anyone, much less read it again. That's not to say they weren't entertaining, as I did finish them, but there wasn't anything so enticing where I'd be drawn back in. If anything, I might just leave the two books in one of those neighborhood libraries for other readers.”
“I did not enjoy this book as much as the first one. There is a lot going on in this book. Even though that wouldn't be a bad thing... it felt like it was dragging on at some points. From the title you would imagine more romance.. however, there was more questing than anything. Callie and Luke's relationship didn't move forward at all, only with promises of x, y and z. Overall, this was good series and I enjoyed reading it regardless.”
