What a delightful story. I particularly enjoy redemption and rebirth tales, and this is a fine example. I was impressed with the creation myth and the unexpected twists to the usual demon trope. This is the first book I've read in the Demons Unleashed series, but it won't be my last. I plan to buzz through the entire series and urge (buttonhole) my friends to read this series.The Demon's Bargain had a few minor editing issues, but not enough to disrupt my reading enjoyment.Lisa Alder was added to my Favorite Author (by genre!) document. Yes, I'm that anal and I update the darned thing regularly. I'm a picky rabid reader. I don't waste time on junk--life's too short, and there're too many great books. So you're probably wondering why I rated this book a solid 4 stars. A book gets 5 stars only if it's amazing, life altering literature; if I'm fundamentally changed and shaken to my core. Not many out there. But this is certainly a keeper and I'll reread it often.Since other reviewers recapped the story, there's no need for me to do the same. Like others, I hope she'll eventually expand the Demons Unleashed series into full-length novels. This series is on auto buy. Try it. I think you'll like it.
