Review courtesy of All Things Urban FantasyHE DEMON CREED was a brilliant ending to the Demon Outlaw trilogy. I absolutely loved the rich world building in this series. The fact that this world is our future Earth is hard to grasp as it just feels so alien until a character mentions a Speedway or airplanes that used to fly in the sky. The best way I like to describe this world of demons and goddesses is that its a romance story set in a twisted wild west dystopia.The plot is filled with tense moments, shocking twists, and a heartwarming ending. THE DEMON CREED also neatly ties together events from the previous books and brings back a few characters to help out. I enjoyed seeing Hunter and Airie from THE DEMON’S DAUGHTER and loved that we were finally able to find out just who the kid they ‘adopted’ and nicknamed Scratch; really is and where he came from.Mixed up in the incredibly detailed plot is the romance between Creed and Nieve which is a slow burn sort of romance. While its insta-love from Creed’s side, Nieve hesitant, and rightly so considering the years of abuse she has endured by both men and demons. As a result of her circumstances she comes off as timid and weak but as the story goes on there is a sort of inner strength to her which neatly compliments Creed’s powerful demon powers. I enjoyed seeing Nieve show her true strength and seeing her slowly but surly trust Creed. The fact that Creed held back his attraction is a testament to just how honorable, honest, and just of a character he is. The romance is sweet and there are a ton of tender moments between them that I really enjoyed.THE DEMON CREED expertly rounds out the Demon Outlaw series with a solid plot and some very creative world building. This trilogy was a joy to read and I’d recommend it to anyone who wants a different sort of western romance.
