Book Review-Marked by Hades by Reese MonroeYvonne wakes up on a park bench in the cold.  All she remembers is the intense pain she endured.  A man appears trying to help her.  She can tell he is a pure soul.  He wants to get her warm and to a hospital.  She yearns for the human touch.  She needs it.  So when she gently touches this wonderfully kind man, he turns to white sand.  Yvonne is devastated to learn her touch will kill.Dressed in leather to protect others from her touch and not remembering who or what she is, Yvonne enters a world of demons and shomrei warriors.  She meets Justin, who is companion to his brother Theo who happens to be a guardian.  Guardians fight demons and send them back to Hades.  She becomes entangled with this group when she develops Justin’s mated mark.She has little time to accept the truth when she has to trade herself for Theo’s safe return.  If Theo dies, Justin dies.  Yvonne was once a demon and was punished for her help saving Sadi, Theo’s mate.  Now back in Hades, she is stripped of her humanity and her punishment.  She doesn’t remember anything about being Yvonne or Justin.Justin is determined to find his mate and fight the demons plotting to take over Lucifer’s throne.  The fight is one to save Yvonne and reach the sacred artifacts before the demons.This is the second book in the series.  I really like the storyline.  The fight between good and bad was spun in a unique direction.  I like the shomrei warriors idea.  I also thought Yvonne’s character provided a great twist.  It gave doubt to the master plan when Justin finds himself mated to a demon.  This book was full of fight scenes portraying the centuries old battle.  The reader wasn’t sure what direction the storyline would take. It will be interesting to see what happens next.  I give it a 4 out of 5.
