I enjoyed this novel very much, especially the relationship between Lilith, a powerful demon, and Annette, a demon slayer.  Annette is sharing her body --and mind -- with Lilith, and has been for a long time.  They have learned to exist together, although Lilith does take control at times.  Lilith has some horrific hungers and the things she does to her victims...it is scary.  But I was fascinated by it because you have Annette's humanity in direct conflict with Lilith's demonic self.Annette is asked to help investigate murders that were deemed unusual -- the victims were missing various (different) organs and had the pentagram painted on them somewhere.  Michael, the detective, and Annette, don't really get along at first, but they warm up to each other -- quite a lot, actually, as they are suddenly in love by the end.  That's one quibble I had with this book - there wasn't enough interaction between them to justify them falling in love so quickly.I liked the Underground City and the Princes and hierarchy of the various demons.  It was interesting and very uniquely done.I also liked the climax and the twists that happened, and how Annette and Lilith took care of business.  It was well done, not clichéd, and it kept me on the edge of my seat.Looking forward to reading book 2 in this series.I received a copy of this book for free for an honest review.
