<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>When a heavenly delicacy is brought to the kitchen of a New York restaurant, newcomers Lena and Darren literally put their very souls on the line. Angels, demons, and the supernatural community of a New York restaurant scene are brought to light in this urban fantasy story.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>In New York, eating out can be hell. <p/>Everyone loves a well-catered event, and the supernatural community is no different, but where do demons go to satisfy their culinary cravings? <p/>Welcome to Sin du Jour - where devils on horseback are the clients, not the dish. <p/><b>Sin du Jour</b><br>Book 1: <i>Envy of Angels</i><br>Book 2: <i>Lustlocked</i><br>Book 3: <i>Pride's Spell</i><br>Book 4: <i>Idle Ingredients</i><br>Book 5: <i>Greedy Pigs</i><br>Book 6: <i>Gluttony Bay</i><br>Book 7: <i>Taste of Wrath</i> <p/>PRAISE FOR <i>ENVY OF ANGELS</i>: <p/>Matt Wallace tells a raucous, riotous tale of culinary madness - a jaw-dropping horror-fantasy restaurateur Thunderdome that makes the 'monkey brain' scene in <i>Temple of Doom</i> 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 <i>Blackbirds</i> and <i>Zer0es</i> <p/>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 <i>The Shambling Guide to New York City</i> <p/><i>Envy of Angels</i> 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 <i>Dead Things</i> and <i>Broken Souls</i> <p/><i>Envy of Angels</i> 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 <i>Revision</i></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"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." --<i>Publishers Weekly</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Matt Wallace is the Hugo Award-winning author of the Sin du Jour series, <i>Rencor: Life in Grudge City</i>, and co-host of the Ditch Diggers podcast with Mur Lafferty.
