Specifically, into the Underworld, as we are introduced to Hawkyn, a type of guardian angel or \u201cmemitim\u201d, and the son of Azagoth and brother to Idess. It\u2019s fast paced and exciting, with a real heartfelt warmth to it, and of course a fun and sexy romance with a strong paranormal element that I love!<\/p>\n<p>If you haven\u2019t read this series, there is enough info given to get you through this one as a standalone, but you\u2019ll definitely appreciate it more if you\u2019ve read the earlier books.<\/p>\n<p>As a memitim, Hawkyn is prescribed the duty of protecting certain beings whose life is somehow pivotal to existence. These people are not always good, because the world needs evil to bring about important change, just as much as it needs good, and one of the beings that Hawkyn is responsible for protecting at all costs just happens to be a psychopathic serial killer. And when he is summoned to protect him from imminent danger, he instead ends up saving his next victim, changing fate and risking everything that he has been working for.<\/p>\n<p>Aurora is a new breed of supernatural for this series \u2013 a wytch. As the offspring of a human male witch and a succubus, she has unique powers, but exists more in the human world than the supernatural. So when she is rescued from excruciating torture and certain death by an angel, no less, she is thrust into a world that she thought only existed in legend.<\/p>\n<p>This is a great story, and and freaking loved Hawkyn. Like all memitim, he does his job hoping that one day he will do enough to enable to him to ascend to heaven. But more than anything, he wants to get there so that he can effect change for his brothers and sisters, to make their lives better. He has a huge heart, and he\u2019s both badass and completely relatable, and then along comes this woman who changes everything for him and suddenly his priorities begin to shift. HIs battle to understand his world and fight for something better is really gorgeous, and my heart broke for him as we see his confusion and pain over figuring out the lengths he is prepared to go to to do what he thinks is right. Tied into that are his growing feelings for Aurora, which are forbidden but overpowering, and while he fights to keep her safe and alive, he is breaking rules at every turn, leading to all sorts of excitement. And, of course as a romantic hero he is sweet, swoony and sexy as all hell.<\/p>\n<p>Though there is an immediate attraction between Hawkyn and Aurora, the romance is a bit of a slow burn (relatively speaking for a novella), but when it happens\u2026 damn, it\u2019s hot!<\/p>\n<p>Aurora is strong and badass in her own way, and I really enjoyed her. I like that she\u2019s something new in the Demonica world, and I love that she\u2019s not a simpering victim, she more than holds her own, and I thought she was a great match for Hawkyn.<\/p>\n<p>I loved this story. I loved being back in the Demonica Underworld and exploring yet another part of the memitim existence. I loved catching up with characters from the previous books \u2013 most notably Idess and the Underworld crew, and there\u2019s a fantastic side-story featuring Azagoth and Lilliana with chapters from their POV and some pretty significant story development for the both of them. I\u2019m really interested to see where that particular storyline is going to go!<\/p>\n<p>As always, I loved the opportunity dive back into this world, and I loved this one!<\/p>\n<p>4 stars.<\/p>\n<p><i>An Advanced Review Copy was generously provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>For more information about the Demonica series \u2013 including series reading order \u2013 please check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/?page_id=1048\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Demonica \/ Lords of Deliverance Series<\/a> page.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><strong>Excerpt<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>\u201cHey,\u201d Hawkyn said through clenched teeth. \u201cNice security system you\u2019ve got here.\u00a0 Could do without the electrical current frying my insides, though.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, well, it wasn\u2019t meant for you.\u201d She closed her eyes and concentrated on the low-level vibration emanating from the trap she\u2019d set. An invisible thread of energy, much like a power cord, stretched from her to the protective bubble around the house, and with a whispered command, \u201cRojalis,\u201d it snapped.<\/p>\n<p>Instantly, Hawkyn relaxed, taking in gulps of air, his broad chest heaving under his black turtleneck and leather jacket. Damn, he was magnificent, his long, lean thighs encased in dark jeans that bunched around well-used combat boots. She never would have guessed he was an angel, but damn, it was a good look, and despite the horror of the past days, her body grew uncomfortably warm.<\/p>\n<p>Damn her succubus genes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat was unpleasant,\u201d he said in a deep, husky voice that turned up the temperature even more, \u201cand I\u2019m an <em>angel<\/em>. What the hell would happen to a human who got caught in your trap?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA good human?\u201d She shrugged. \u201cNothing. The trap was calibrated for evil.\u201d She paused, an icy finger of fear poking her in the libido, and she took a casual step back in case she needed to slam the door in his face. \u201cUm, if you\u2019re an angel, why would it snare you?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLong sto\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t,\u201d she broke in with a wag of her finger. \u201cDon\u2019t even go there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One blond eyebrow arched high, and she suspected he wasn\u2019t used to being cut off.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOkay, short story it is.\u201d He jammed his hands in his jacket pockets. \u201cMy dad is evil. Sort of.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Well, that wasn\u2019t expected. \u201cIsn\u2019t your dad, uh, God?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll right, then. I have a lot to learn.\u201d She gestured in invitation. \u201cWant to come in?\u00a0 Do you need permission?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One corner of his mouth tipped up in amusement. \u201cI\u2019m an angel, not a vampire from some campy movie.\u201d His voice, just like at the hospital, was so whiskey smooth she thought she could get drunk from merely listening to him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, you
