Review: Backstory on Jamen :)

*Warning: May Contain Spoilers*It begins when Jamen is born. As his mother dies in childbirth and his father soon after, baby Jamen is raised by wolves. Yes, wolves. He grows up just fine and finds his own way in life, albeit not as a wealthy man. He soon works for Prince Basilio and falls in love with a woman forbidden to him, as she is the Prince's betrothed. Not long after they fall in love and try to start a family does the Prince discover this and end the love of Jamen's life (and their unborn baby) in a rather barbaric and brutal way (warning, as this scene - although not graphic - does describe sensitive content matter).As he's about to fight for his life Lilith returns and Jamen destroys the Prince, saving much of the kingdom. Upon returning to Hell, Lilith presents Jamen with his baby, although dead. It is discovered that Lucifer is Jamen's father (although I'm not entrely sure on how). Jamen sacrifices himself for his child, and as Lilith turns him into a vampire, his soul is transferred to the baby so that it may live.What I like is that Lilith is no longer a shy and clueless newbie on Earth. She's come a long way and I like that maturity in her character. I also that there's history on Jamen and how he meets Veronica (Vinnie). What I don't like is that Lucifer wipes his memory of the woman Jamen initially fell in love with and of the baby. He says it's due to not wanting Jamen to have human emotions, but that seems uncharacteristic of the Devil. I feel like the Devil would WANT someone to suffer, so that kind of confused me a bit.Otherwise it's a good read. Sad, but good back-story.
