'First rule of propaganda is to always accuse the other side of what you are actually doing.' Having Lucifer be Humanity's protector against the capricious whims of the gods and goddesses - as well as having NOT 'deals with the devil' cost a person their soul, but the Miracles™ they beg for (both the selfish and self less kind) from the dieties they worship that potentially dooms them - is, quite simply, my kind of story.īut they're not to destined for Hell, because that's actually, technically, as the domain of Lucifer, HERE on earth. I absolutely LOVE stories that turn conventional mythology on its head and the way it's done here is brilliantly subversive.

I still wasn't prepared for how different it really was. Now the decorated soldier is willing to get his hands dirty, but will he be a match for the forces trying to keep them apart?īefore I decided to read this, I read the first couple of sentences of some of the current reviews and so when I started I was prepared for Lucifer's Litigator to be 'different.' Back then, Tom wasn’t ready to fight for them. Twenty-five years haven’t dimmed the candle Will holds for Tom, and when they meet again, he has a chance to put things right. He has more money than he knows what to do with, but he’s fast running out of soul. His job is to make sure they don’t slip free. He litigates for the gods as they gamble with the lives of those desperate enough to make deals. Tired of being looked down upon for being poor, Will became a lawyer-but not just any lawyer. He knew the romance had an expiration date and would end when Tom joined the Army, but that didn’t stop Will from falling in love. For Will McLeod, that meant Tom, his first male lover. The summer between the end of school and the start of what came next was full of sun, surf, and sex. To save his soul, he’ll have to fix his one regret-the love that got away.
