Heaven and Hell.

Two realms locked in an eternal war since the dawn of mankind. A war said to have begun from jealousy and pride— or so the legends claim.

But what if the truth runs deeper?

Journey through a tale that rewrites history. Witness how faith fractures, how devotion burns, and how light itself can fall.

Experience the birth of corruption…

I loved this book!!! I was fully invested from the very first page.

Torment of the Divine: Original Sin explores the gaps in the traditional origin of sin narrative, offering a compelling and deeply thought provoking interpretation of Lucifer’s fall. The author sets out to answer a question many of us with a religious background have wondered: why did Lucifer truly fall? While we’re often told it was simply pride and a desire to be equal to God, this story creates a rich, harrowing chain of events that explains why it happened. I was genuinely impressed by the nuance and imagination behind it.

Some readers may prefer a longer, more emotionally expansive novel, but for me the pacing was perfect. I will be buying copy.

The cover and title immediately caught my attention (both 10/10), and as someone who loves stories involving angels, devils, and celestial conflict, I requested the ARC as soon as I read the description.

The ending is brutal, as expected in a retelling of Lucifer’s fall and transformation into Satan, but the final twist left me with a genuine “woah” moment. I absolutely did not see it coming.

I would highly recommend this book.

Thank you to Franklin Publishing Group LLC and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you to NetGalley for giving me this ARC, here are my honest opinions.

I went into this book with no expectations, I wanted it to affect me during my time reading it. And I was positively surprised. This is a bit of a different take on the heaven vs hell, and the story of Lucifer the fallen angel.

This is not a book I would normally go for, but I want to challenge myself and try new things when it comes to reading. My rating does not mean that the book was bad in any way, it just wasn’t anything special for me. I think I would’ve liked it a bit longer. However I understand the author’s reasoning behind the length, as described in the acknowledgments.

Thank you to NetGalley and the author for the E-ARC in return for an honest review.

The story is an interesting retelling of the fall of Lucifer, focussing on the question of "Why did Lucifer fall from God's grace." I admittedly only know the basics of the tale from the bible (having not grown up religious), but the story and both angels and demons fascinate me.

The book elaborates a lot on the story and gives perspective to a lot of the characters. I enjoyed reading the love develop between Lucifer and Lilith. The fighting and action scenes were well crafted and exciting and the dialogue was emotive and hearty.

I do believe the book could do with a bit more editing. There's a few moments where the tenses shift and there's some unnecessary repetition of some story elements. I think with some fresh eyes and a little restructuring it could be much improved, but it was still an enjoyable read and was clearly a labour of love by the author.

I really enjoyed "Torment of the Divine: Original Sin!" From the first page, I was hooked. Eric Adams takes Lucifer and Lilith and gives them new life, blending angels, demons, cosmic battles, and even a little science-fantasy into a story that feels big and personal at the same time.

Lucifer comes across as tragic, conflicted, and surprisingly human, and his relationship with Lilith adds a nice emotional layer. The action, intrigue, and moral dilemmas keep things moving, and the ending completely blew me away—I did not see that twist coming.

A really fun, fast read with great worldbuilding, flawed but compelling characters, and plenty of surprises.

Thank you to NetGalley, Eric Adams, and the publisher for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This story has me hooked from the (almost) beginning to end.

This story of God and Lucifer, good vs. evil, light vs. dark was full of action and emotion. I've never really considered Lilith's role in the story too much even though I knew of her existence.

A new take on the Original Sin and creation. I really enjoyed it.

Thank you NetGalley for the chance to review.

The cover art has my heart !!!

I bought a hardcover copy, just to admire. I love the imagery and the symbolism of the good and bad through black and white.

The color play has my heart.

The story in itself has immense potential, and I can't wait to see if this author has more to offer for this realm that he has created. Lucifer has always been an anti hero, the OG morally grey mc. And I will always have a soft spot for new takes on this old as earth prompt for story telling.

Cheers to Adams for executing this beauty and special shoutout to the cover artist.
