This is a fast paced, fun story of Faustian bargains and queer transmasc romance. Jules, a trans man, feels trapped in his life as a nun, and makes a deal with the devil, giving up their body to be free of their old life. With the devil now living inside him, he is impervious to danger. Jules meets Casper, a trans man, poet, and thief. They begin an adventurous relationship, and the devil's jealousy grows.
The concept alone drew me in, but the illuminated manuscript-type artwork sealed the deal. The artwork is fun and colorful; the character design is perfect. It combines a surreal, colorful, engaging art style. I would LOVE to hang posters from this novel in my home. This feels like a little diamond that I stumbled upon at the library in the adult graphic novel section. You'll find this odd, raunchy little book just as enchanting as I did.
