This book starts slow then picks up and doesn't let you go...This is the story of a human woman, raised among demons, who meets a mad god, that wants nothing more than to kill her stepfather, and the events that follow.There isn't a giant complicated plot in this book. Most of the draw of it comes from the characterizations of the main players, and even the supporting cast. The fun of it comes from the point of view observations of both characters. You feel their confusion, their change of emotion, their lust.The writer did an amazing job with the voices in the book, as well as the mysterious backstory.Sadly, it doesn't finish in this volume. We never quite learn the truth behind all the events that are happening, nor do we read about how all the intertwined stories end. That being said, in spite of the cliffhanger ending, I wasn't left unsatisfied. In the end I did want more, but not to the point that I felt cheated.This book is worth it's price and definitely something I would recommend to supernatural romance story readers.My only criticism is how slow it starts.  In order to get anywhere good you have to wade through about 2 chapters worth of backstory that you learn about again anyway through the course of the book. Once the female protagonist shows up in the scene though, get ready for a fun ride.Oh, and just remember, this isn't Virginia Wolf or Shakespeare or anything. This is a fun SEXY read meant to be enjoyed in that way.5 stars. Get through the first chapters and you'll find that it's worth it.
