Goodreads Description:

"The eyes never lie. No one’s eyes are darker than Eryx. Not even the Devil’s.

When Jax and Sasha first see Jordan Ellis, they know she is no ordinary teenager. She’s the daughter of the President after all, but she’s also Anabo – a descendant of Eve.

What they don’t know is that Eryx plans to kidnap Jordan and force President Ellis to pledge his soul. If Eryx’s plot succeeds, the consequences would be catastrophic.

But the Mephisto brothers do know about Jordan’s secret identity. And for one of them, she could be the match that leads to their soul’s salvation.

Now it’s a desperate race against time to save Jordan and prevent Eryx’s haunting eyes from discovering her true identity.

A thrilling story of romance, danger, and intrigue, THE MEPHISTO KISS continues the marvelous mythology that began in THE MEPHISTO COVENANT."

***

I loved The Mephisto Covenant by Trinity Faegen, so I was really excited to read The Mephisto Kiss. While I did not enjoy it quite as much, it was still a fantastic read. Jordan and Key were a swoon worthy couple and I just adore the way Trinity Faegen writes love stories.

I didn’t love Jordan and Key as much as I loved Sasha and Ajax because Jordan was much more accepting of the Mephisto Covenant. I really preferred Sasha’s confusion and rejection of Jax because he was literally a son of hell. That said, Key and Jordan were really cute together. Jordan has the courage to stand up to Key when no one else will, and he truly does need a real partner to help him lead the Mephisto. I also enjoyed watching Key attempt to navigate a romantic relationship as it is clear he has no real experience in that department.

The only element of the story that truly bothered me in The Mephisto Kiss is the increase of religiousness. When I read The Mephisto Covenant, I did not notice anything overly religious or preachy about the novel. The Mephisto Kiss, however, felt very preachy. Since I am not religious, this really bothered me.

All in all, The Mephisto Kiss is another wonderful paranormal romance from Trinity Faegen. Fans of swoon worthy romance need to pick this one up, and I really cannot wait for Faegen’s next Mephisto novel.
