The Devils Match Book 4 of the Devils Own series by Amo Jones

I'm not sure why everyone was so excited for Frost's book.  His character is awesome, of course, but he isn't a favorite of mine.  This book was good but it has a lot of inconsistencies in it, like all the other books in this series.

Giving this book 4 stars is me being generous because the story is good even though it skips around a hell of a lot.  It goes from the present to two years earlier to present to two weeks later to three years later to two years earlier.  You get the drift.  The book is great but time line wise skips all over the place.

In chapter 6 I noticed the first mistake.  "Toodles", Ella is mimicking Hannibal but it wasn't Hannibal who said this it was Ripper.

In chapter 11 it says that Ella is five feet and ten inches but when she is first described in the beginning of the book she is five feet and eleven inches.

Chapter 19 Willow is telling Ella a little about her childhood but even in her little speech, monologue, whatever you want to call it, there is a quotation mark that should not be there.  In this chapter it says 'he studies to Pax' which is an awkward sentence.

In chapter 23 it is Ella's perspective but when Pax squeal "Gwwummpy" it says that Ella squeals it.  Later on in the same chapter Frost and Willow and Miles are talking because Miles was apparently a human lie detector for the army.  In book 3 'Razing Grace Part 2' it says that Angel is the human lie detector and at no point does it give any mention of Miles even being in the army.  Ella says that Raze wipes his ass with hunnid dollar bills.  This should be hundred instead.

Books 1-3 all refer to the man behind the bar at the Devils Own clubhouse as 'Old Fella' and in this book, all the way up until chapter 24, he is called 'Old Falla'. 

I really enjoy how consistent this book is.  (It should be noted that the last second was me being sarcastic because it bothers me that no one, not even the so called editor noticed these mistakes.)

Chapter 30 has Frost as the narrorator and there should be a comma in between Amy and Jr because otherwise you misread the sentence because it says that the child's name is Amy Jr not Miles Jr.  Also in this chapter it says that Hella owns a tattoo studio downtown but he doesn't.  Jada owns the studio.
