Reviews for Requiem for the Devil

Requiem For the Devil

Requiem is a tale of redemption, written with flair and style. A thread of sly humor weaves through the book, but it is the power of love, and the ways it changes lives, that creates the framework for this delightful first novel. Highly recommended.

–Library Journal

Jeri Smith-Ready is a fresh new voice in modern urban fantasy. Requiem for the Devil blends fantasy, sensuality, and humor in a remarkable tale. It offers a compassionate mirror to questions of reconciliation and redemption that humans have struggled with for ages.

–Catherine Asaro - Nebula Award™-winning author of Quantum Rose

An amazing story that engages your mind.

Five-Angel Recommended Read, Fallen Angels Review

The author's renderings of her characters are alternately hilarious and touching, but they are always genuinely realistic. Such a term seems ill-suited to a "fantasy," but despite the superpower-endowed main characters, the book evokes a profound degree of truth about human relationships....[t]ruly unlike anything else on bookshelves today.

Villanova Magazine (PDF File, see page 56)

The author avoids stereotypes, tropes, and any particular religious line to deliver the kind of book you can read over and over again.
