In New York, eating out can be hell.
Everyone loves a well-catered event, and the supernatural community is no different, but where do demons go to satisfy their culinary cravings?
Welcome to Sin du Jour - where devils on horseback are the clients, not the dish.
PRAISE FOR ENVY OF ANGELS:
"Matt Wallace tells a raucous, riotous tale of culinary madness - a jaw-dropping horror-fantasy restaurateur Thunderdome that makes the 'monkey brain' scene in Temple of Doom look like something you'd see on Nickelodeon. It's like I dropped a heroic dose of acid and turned on the Food Network for eight hours. It's funny and demented and sticks in you like a pinbone. Matt Wallace writes like someone just jammed a needle full of adrenaline in his heart - and then, in yours. From this point forward, I'll read anything this guy writes." ― Chuck Wendig, author of Blackbirds and Zer0es
"No one makes me think, 'Dammit, I should have thought of that!' like Matt Wallace. The Sin du Jour series is something I read with equal amounts of envy and delight." ― Mur Lafferty, Campbell Award winning author of The Shambling Guide to New York City
"Envy of Angels is one of the most original urban fantasies I've read in a damn long time. Angels, demons and the New York restaurant scene. It doesn't get any weirder than this. Matt Wallace is an author to watch." ― Stephen Blackmoore, author of Dead Things and Broken Souls
"Envy of Angels is exactly the breath of fresh air I didn't know I needed: darkly funny, sweepingly inventive, and just plain fun to read. Every time I thought I got the hang of this book, the next turn took me someplace even more breathtakingly weird and wonderful. Buy it. DO IT NOW. It's the only way we can force him to write a dozen more of these!" ― Andrea Phillips, author of Revision

Review “Quite a bit is packed into this short read, including warring demon clans, angels, zombie clowns, and even some sneaky commentary on consumer culture, topped with a healthy helping of satire. The fast pace and quirky characters make for a zippy read, and there’s a clever twist at the end that will leave readers grinning and hoping for more stories featuring the Sin du Jour gang.” ―Publishers Weekly

Two struggling line chefs are forced to grapple with that question when they are hired by Sin Du Jour, a very exclusive catering company with a most unusual clientele.Sin Du Jour caters for demons. And goblins, and a host of other supernatural creatures that the rest of the world thinks are myths. But when Sin Du Jour is contracted to serve a post-treaty signing banquet for warring demon tribes, the menu might be more than they can stomach.Filled with quirky characters, shocking twists, and clever high concepts, Matt Wallace's Envy of Angels is a delightfully weird novella. He has a wonderful talent of pulling out a new reveal just when you think the story has gone as far as it can. It's not an adventure so much as it is a magic show. You keep turning the page less to see if the heroes will make it than to see what kind of three-headed fire-breathing rabbit Wallace will pull out of his hat next.He mixes this with an ability to draw out sympathy for his characters in remarkably efficient language. He can make you hate a character and then deliver a get-punch you never saw coming in the space of a single paragraph. It makes for a fast read that is difficult to put down.This brief and blustery novella might not be for everyone, however. The short length and large cast means that as much as I was rooting for these characters, I didn't get to know them quite as well as I'd have liked to. We get one or two details, then the book barrels onward. Much of the second act is also set away from the kitchen, which puts supposed main characters Lena and Darren out of the reader's eye to follow another team of Sin Du Jour employees. It still makes for an interesting read, but it isn't a traditional narrative by any stretch. The ending also feels a bit abrupt.Even though it doesn't quite fill the belly as much as a novel, Envy of Angels is a satisfying first course in Matt Wallace's "Sin Du Jour" series. Check it out in print or ebook!
7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. very good book. It's also all kinds of messed up ... By Amazon Customer This is a very, very good book. It's also all kinds of messed up (in the best possible way). I read it going through a bout of chemo and the nurses had to ask me to stop laughing so loud. It is a novella, so you can burn through it in four hours or so, but it's such a good four hours. I was genuinely sorry when it was over.And disturbed that I sort of wanted a Henley's Chicken Nuggie.
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Bourdain By Way Of Buffy - And It's Delicious! By Michael Hicks Darren and Lena are the newest chefs to join Sin Du Jour, a highly exclusive catering company with a highly unusual clientele. Overseen by a Michelin award winner, Sin Du Jour operates on government contract to host diplomatic banquets for - wait for it - demons! Their latest dinner service involves a unique ingredient, and the chefs are the only thing standing against all-out war between two rival gangs of Hell's finest.Envy of Angels is a quick, breezy, and very entertaining read. It's also one of the most unique urban fantasies I've read in some time. Although Chuck Wendig's Mookie Pearl was a tough foodie, Wallace's crew are all about working the line and getting their hands dirty with flour and an array of other, far more mystical, ingredients. Think Anthony Bourdain by way of Buffy The Vampire Slayer.There's a rich vein of humor running throughout, despite a subject matter could delve deeply into the darkness. Although a sequence in which the Sin Du Jour Procurement team attempt a heist to steal a fast food chain's secret recipe carries a richly macabre undercurrent, Wallace still finds the humor in a highly off-the-wall scenario. The tone, at all times, is kept as light as puff pastry.What really caught my attention, though, were the flashes of insight toward Wallace's world-building. Sin du Jour and the reality it operates in are subjects I want to read and learn more about. I want to get deeper insight into the government agency that employs them, and the demonic cultures they feed. This is only the first book in what looks to be a long-term project for Wallace, but I'm already supremely captivated even if, at times, this book feels more like an appetizer of things to come, rather than a fully satisfying entree that left me stuffed. But, I'm OK with that simply because this story was a heck of a lot to read. It also helps knowing that the second book, Lustlocked, comes out on Tuesday, because I'm definitely ready for another serving.
