review 1: I got this book because it was free on Amazon.Its not like i was so interested on the plot or something.Don`t get me wrong here.I actually liked the book and the plot was more original than the books that usually are free.Actually I saw the plot only after i read the first chapter.Date with the devil should be placed in many categories.It has romance,a little horror,adventure,legends,adult content(or young adult depending from your POV)and it`s a guide on how to survive when you are on island plus it reminded me a paranormal novel(especially werewolves) cause the author used words like mating and mate.We find our heroes at a island somewhere in the Bermouda triangle.They share an attrcation immediantely even though D. doesn`t want to admit it and backs off even if she sur... morerender to Sterling eventualy.Over the time the fall for eachother and live like husband and wife declaring their love and need for the other.They live there happily for months and D. discovers more about herselfe with Sterling.But good things ends,right?Ming finds them and its time to go back home,back to civilisation,back to their normal lives where Sterling is engaged to Ming and D. is alone and with a difficult relationship with her parents.The end is predictable and I would preffed an epiloge to see were our characters are in 2 weeks,2 months or 2 years I don`t care.I want to see how Sterling and D. are after the author ended the book.P.S. I used D, instead of the name of our female suvri val cause I don`t remember it and It"s kinda of weird
review 2: Well, on the surface this book sets feminism and civility back several hundred years. The willing descent into primitive ways of Sterling, the stalking of Diedre and subsequent almost rape, the claiming her as a mate like a beast... Ok, so it is a slide into primal instincts and behaviour with barely enough plot to use as an excuse for wild, no holds bared sex.It's also a contradiction in that Sterling teaches her to fend for herself, to kill for food, to hunt and treat wounds, to NOT be completely reliable on him for survival.But that overwhelming possessiveness, like she was a possession, was uncomfortable to read, mainly because I kept thinking she needed to grow a pair and tell him to stop with all the neanderthal crap. However, it was an entertaining read and I'm a little bit torn as to what my ultimate judgement is. less
