Review: Decent, I guess...

I downloaded this book after reading the sample, and actually felt a bit cheated because the beginning pulls you in, and then the end just....ends! We never learn much about the character Melmanon (the demon) other than a short paragraph worth of flashback. The book is written in the voice of the captive (Charity), and yet there's no background on her either other than the fact that she's been running for six months before her capture. "Demon's Captive" is missing character building in a big way, and its sad because they are characters who have so much potential!Like some other reviewers I was really irritated by the fact that Melmanon became a completely different person by the end of the book. Charity, who was suppose to be a coward (?) seemed to summon up some courage only to have it go unused! Why??? By the time I got to the end I didn't understand how they had even gotten to that point when they didn't even seem to actually love each other. It's a decent read... I guess.  "When Night Falls" would be a better alternative.
