Bittersweet Magic Nina CroftReview from Jeannie Zelos Book Reviews.I loved Nina's Bittersweet Blood so was really pleased to get this book for review. Once again we meet the delicious Christian and the mysterious Piers. This time they've become entangled with Roz, who's on the search for a key for the Demon Asmodai to whom she owes a debt. This last task will free her after five hundred years of service. Sounds simple...but of course its not. She joins a nunnery to get close, but another demon beats her to the key. She takes the surviving nun from the attack with her on the search for the man who took it. Sister Maria was tasked by the demon who took the key with getting a message to Piers, head of The Order. Roz hopes that will give her a clue of where to find the demon and the key.  As usual nothing is a simple as it seems, and there's some fast moving dangers, some searing, sensual sex scenes and lots of magic flying around.I like Roz, she wanted her freedom after all that while, and yet still thought about what was the right thing to do - not just right for her but right for others. There was some mystery about what she was, her mother was burned as a witch but was a simple healer, and Roz has some healing but in a magical way. She doesn't know why she has that ability or exactly what she is.  Piers, he seemed so aloof in the last book, but one glance (and smell) of Roz and he was hooked. Gave his colleagues some fun to tease him with. As before a great cast of characters, some humour, lots of danger, plenty of spicy sensuality, and a cracking ending all wrapped up in a love story. Great book, and really well worth the money. It's priced at 3.52/$5.69 for 242 pages, and well written with plots that tie up and no unanswered questions. I hate books that open a plot and leave it unfinished, Nina always ensures all her content is relevant and there are no unnecessary and unfinished plots.NB: ARC supplied via publisherStars: five, really enjoyed this book.
