Review ~ The Mephisto Kiss

The Mephisto Kiss
by Trinity Faegen
Release Date: September 25, 2012
Publisher:  Egmont
Pages:  448

Summary (from Goodreads):

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, I mean really LOVED The Mephisto Covenant, so when I heard that Trinity Faegen was going to write another book I was SOOOO excited!  Personally, I think we should get to hear ALL the brother's stories!!!  Having the chance to help with the cover reveal for THE MEPHISTO KISS got me even more excited.  Then when I received an ARC I curled up and began reading right away.  
     With all that I loved The Mephisto Covenant, I think THE MEPHISTO KISS was better!  There was just the right amount of world building to fill in those who haven't read the first one, but not enough that return readers would be bored.  We get a little more insight into how Key remember's their past and how he remembers Eryx before he fell.  It's that emotional connection that causes Key more pain than anything he could imagine.  Jordan is so different from Sasha.  Jordan is strong and because of something that happened to a friend of her's she has a strong desire to help others.  Unfortunately for Jordan, it's the need to help others that Eryx tries to exploit.  I find it hard to put into words how much I loved this book without giving away too many details.  There is a connection between Jordan and Key that is like nothing I've read before.      
     This book made me laugh, cry and at times hold my breath!  The story is more emotional, deeper and at times a little darker, but it fits the characters so perfectly I couldn't imagine another version.  While there is resolve and a breathtaking ending, I could use a little more Key and Jordan.  I gave this book 5 stars and really hope Trinity gets to write more about the Mephisto brothers!

Cover Reveal for The Mephisto Kiss

     I'm excited to be apart of The Mephisto Kiss cover reveal!  My school librarian picked up The Mephisto Covenant last April for me at TLA because she thought it sounded like my kind of book....and it was!  Then once I started my book blog, a friend and fellow blogger suggested I reach out to Trinity Faegen for an interview and she said YES! I was super excited for my first author interview.  So over the past year I have talked to Trinity several times and was SUPER EXCITED that I got to meet her this past January and again in April.  

     Fast forward to a few weeks ago, when I was contacted about helping host the cover reveal of The Mephisto Kiss I jumped on it!  

Before I share the BEAUTIFUL cover with you, how about a little blurb about The Mephisto Kiss which will hit a book store near you on September 25, 2012 from Egmont USA.

Now, for the main event!  Here is the BEAUTIFUL cover for

  The Mephisto Kiss! 

If you have read The Mephisto Covenant, then I think the background may look familiar to you.  I love the flowers and how her skirt fads into the fog that settles over the flowers.  I think this cover is a little more colorful than the one for The Mephisto Covenant, but still has the same mysterious feel.    

I hope you enjoyed the blurb and cover!  Now for something extra.  Trinity will be giving away an ARC of The Mephisto Kiss on her blog and to get an entry all you need to do is leave a comment on the other blogs participating in the cover reveal. 

Don't forget to add The Mephisto Kiss to your Goodreads list!
