As a spin off, it is good, but I like the Redemption series better (so far). I'm glad Conor gets his own books as he is really very likeable. I also like how the books tie in somewhat to the Redemption series. You get some of the characters like Luther and Ethan in this book, and I'm really liking Will and Deirdre. I don't love Emma in the same way I did Dayton, but she is growing on me. I guess I just never pictured Con with someone as meek as Emma, but I think she'll grow and I am looking forward to book 2. I did read this book after Ransom, but it didn't detract in any way from either book.Con will make choices that will change his life and definitely explains his appearance and attitude in Ransom. His relationship with Dayton results in his being demoted and unexpectedly assigned to Emma, but just as an escort. Emma is a half demon half human teenager who isn't aware of what she is because she was adopted as a baby and raised by human parents. Unfortunately, her powers are growing and demons have become aware of her and who her real mother is. Con isn't happy with the new assignment, but he is responsible and figures he can earn back his guardian role. However, he doesn't count on getting turned on his ears. Con has spent his whole life hating demons and now he starts to care for a half demon and will risk it all to keep his people from killing her.Again, I love how this series gets intertwined with the Redemption series especially at the end when the SOS gets involved, and Con learns who Emma's father is.
