My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This is the second book in the Demonblood series and was just as good as the first.


Liora and Lucky, a human and a demon respectively, share a body after their soul was split by the demons, Amazea who killed their friends and are now being escorted to the Legionnaire by Kieron.


But two months have passed and Kieron hasn't returned. Liora and Lucky know where he is, if something has happened to him or if he just doesn't care about them anymore. Lucky takes comfort in the arms of Bones, while Liora hangs out with a mysterious stranger with an unforeseen motive. He is using Liora for something, but what?


Meanwhile, Lucky finds out that Kieron is being held hostage and tortured by another tribe of demons as revenge for being involved in a battle that killed five of their hellhounds. Immediately, Lucky decides that she must go and rescue him. She is stopped by Aria, a telepath, who tells her she cannot go yet, the time is not right and promises to help when the time comes. Lucky is not very happy about this but she has no choice. Bones will also accompany her, along with a couple of other hellhounds.


This book was just as good as the first one, which is fantastic. I really, really enjoyed it. I really didn't like Lucky in the first book but she grew on me a little bit more here. I still really liked Liora, she is just a sweetheart, probably one of my favourite female characters. Bones is just as hot and sexy as ever and Kieron is still amazing, once he finally returns. I love him. And lets not forget Lucky/Liora's guardian Tatiana, she is just amazing.


We have some new and mysterious characters now too. Tristan and Cassandra, a brother and sister who start at Lucky's school.


This book was fast moving and definitely unpredictable. Once again I really liked the authors writing style and just find it so easy to read. This book was very emotional and upsetting at times and the ending..........what more can I say. I cannot wait for the next one.


I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending this book to any paranormal romance fans out there.
