Review<\/strong><\/h4>\n

And the awesome continues!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Book 4 in the Demonica<\/em> series brings us the story of Lore\u2026 the newly discovered brother of Eidolon, Shade and Wraith. An enslaved assassin, he is brought screeching into his brother\u2019s lives when his next target hits very close to their hearts. To complicate matters, Lore\u2019s target has an angel protecting them \u2013 Idess, a sexy, sassy female who knows how to kick some ass.<\/p>\n

I absolutely adore Lore! Tortured, cynical, and seemingly indifferent to all that goes on around him, his supernatural gift is a \u2018death touch\u2019 that has kept him forcibly isolated for most of his life. But he has a deeply caring side that we see early on, and which is ramped up hugely when Idess comes along and totally rocks his world. Idess is a great heroine! She\u2019s tough and single-minded, but is also dealing with her own issues from the past. Lore and Idess are both, for their own (very personal) reasons, committed to their tasks. So when they collide\u2026 fireworks!<\/p>\n

With brilliant fight scenes, wicked banter, and scorching chemistry, Lore and Idess have a sensational relationship that grows from sworn enemies to reluctant allies to friends and eventually lovers. And with the added complication of Lore being a Seminus demon, and needing sex in order to survive, it\u2019s a wild ride!<\/p>\n

In addition to the brewing romance, there is a deep look into the disturbing and gory world of demon assassins, two of the most evil of evil bad guys on the prowl, family secrets uncovered, and major trouble brewing for one particular supernatural group. Yep, there\u2019s a lot going on in this book, and I loved watching all of the different threads come together. I didn\u2019t see the big twist coming, and had a massive \u2018OMG\u2019 moment, as well as lots of scares and squees as the story shifted all over the place.<\/p>\n

The group of key characters in this series continues to grow, but I love that Ione continues to keep the characters that we love from the previous books as a main part of the action. In fact, I think one of the best thing about these books is the dynamic between the characters. Between siblings, couples, friends and enemies, there is fighting, teasing, playfulness and brilliant banter, as well as deep, familial love and respect, gorgeous swoony moments and a whole lot of hotness. It\u2019s all just epic!<\/p>\n

The next book is set up very nicely as we get to spend a lot of time with the heroine of book 5, Sin, and the spark of her love story has been lit with a hot moment between her and her love interest (love him!). There is some awesome chemistry there, as well as some pretty massive hurdles for the couple to overcome. I can\u2019t wait to see where the story goes!<\/p>\n

If you haven\u2019t read any of these books yet, GET INTO IT! Larissa Ione has created a unique paranormal world filled with brilliant characters, awesome supernatural powers and intriguing politics. These books are dark and dirty, but also hilarious, with lots of romance, sex and action, and a fantastic world that becomes more evolved with each book. I\u2019m absolutely loving it.<\/p>\n

5 PNR-loving stars.<\/p>\n
