Status Updates From The Devil Aspect

“-and Veles’s wrath is something to hold in terror-“

Oh. My. Goodness.

Mr. Hobbs: taking people down. He’s terrifying and I dig it.

“The greatest danger in seeking out the Devil, my dear Doctor, is that you might find him.”

YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

I AM SHOOK

TWIST EXTREME

MR. HOBBS

I’m shaking. I HAVE TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

“I have more hocus-locus to perform.”

Viktor just snapped his fingers in a Z formation. Get it, boy!

Holy Mother of all that is holy. The Glass Collector story was definitely the most striking so far.

Yes, the Vegetarian served up her husband (gross), but the Glass Collector killed 12 people. My goodness.

Can’t wait to read about The Demon.

Oh, my...... Smolak’s dream is something else. My lord....

Filip is a nutcase. Holy crap.

Also, poor Anna.

“Here I am and I here stay,
For this is where the Devil hides.”

How spooky. *eye roll emoji*

This book flows well and the characters are fascinating. It feels like it could be a movie. Reminding me of Silence of the Lambs a bit.

“Can’t you tell? He’s standing right behind you. The Devil is at your shoulder...”

OKAY, THE VEGETARIAN. HOW FREAKING CREEPY ARE YOU?!?!?!?! I’m gonna have nightmares.

“He’s promised to cut my face off and wear it as a mask.”

Hilarious.

“There were some deeds so evil, so horrific, that the mind could only deal with them in the third person.”

Oh, man.

Alright.... The Demon is creepy. Lord. Talking about wearing people’s faces. *shudders*

“How do you describe the Devil?”

Oh, yeah. I like this book a whole bunch so far. I ha e to know what happens!

“I didn’t buy a return ticket.”

You’re gonna regret that statement. I see it.

Amazing 🙌🏻

Amazing 🙌🏻

“We are all infected with the potential for madness and evil, but only fragile psychologies fall victim to the full-blown disease.”

Interesting theory. I dig it.

“But there again, he belonged to an outsider group: someone marked from birth to be cast out, mistrusted, suspected. And when you suspected someone deeply enough, for long enough, they usually became worthy of your distrust.”

Nail = head.

“Bohemians particularly were like no other people who walked the Earth: for them everything was fluid, ever changing. Like immortals, they have watched with amused disinterest the petty passions of mortals: the swelling and shrinking of borders; the rising and falling of flags, of empires, of patriotism’s and prejudices.”

Working on my stack of hardcovers still.

Having a hard time getting through this book. I like to setting and some of the characters but the writing style is so hard to enjoy. It's more clinical than anything. Not much of a thriller

Wow, Russell wastes no time diving into this story. What an intriguing beginning with well fleshed out characters.

Great read so far!!!

Very rare, but 50 pages in and I want to know more. I have a feeling this is going to be a book that keeps me up late into the night- Fingers crossed, those kind of books are so few and far between!!!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I enjoyed the writing style and the story. An excellent read - at times a bit gory and dark but I like that on occasion.

I really wanted to like this book but i find myself virtually skimming these last several pages. I just don’t have any interest in what’s happening- what little mysteries that have been set up feel trite and of really no consequence. I was really enjoying the backdrop of political beliefs between professionals in a closed setting with the rise of nazism and Hitler but even that doesn’t feel to have any weight.

This book is so good. I don’t think I can go to work tomorrow.

This book went from that’s interesting to NOPE real fast. Creeeeeeepy.....
