My
monthly 1001 Dark Nights fix!
I’ve had this book on my ‘to-read-list’ for a little while now - less than a month actually when I look back to see when I bought it, so not really that long - but when I’d come to the end of my MM bender, which honestly is never really over for me, it was this author that I
headed straight for. While I haven’t read
every single one of her books I would consider myself a ‘Demonica’ addict if
not a ‘Larissa Ione’ one, because I have read all of those associated with the
world that she has created in this wonderful series.
As an intro back into the world of FM romance this one was
an excellent starting point. For one
thing, I love that her females are not only a little vulnerable but are
eminently sassy, dangerous and borderline evil (some of them anyway). No simpering for an Ione heroine, and best of
all most of them are far from virginal.
It is a pet hate of mine that women are portrayed often in romance as either pure and
unsullied, or of singular or little experience if they’ve managed to do any of
‘it’ at all, while Mr Loverboy has basically had the privilege of being an all-out
man-whore and gets a great big pat on the back for it.
Well, no problem here.
This is the norm turned on its head.
Vex is a sexy, mouthy, sassy soul-catcher and Z, a fallen angel
imprisoned to the promise of fidelity to his previous love who fell and died
thirty years ago. It is her soul he is
desperate to find. And of course - cue
fate - Vex finally brings her soul to him while trying to coerce Azagoth to
save her own from a nasty piece of work escaping from Sheoul, who has been
sucked into her and threatens to take her over.
It was great to immerse myself in the shenanigans of
Sheoul-gra and Azagoth’s realm again. I
have loved and revisited its colourful characters on numerable occasions and
this is another that I will definitely add to the revisit list.
