I wanted something different. I didn't read book one but downloaded this anyways because it's still a stand alone. I wasn't sure what to expect. My husband makes fun of me because I like my books and movies to border on mythical (unicorns, dragons, knights in shining armor, witches, demons.. these things make me happy). So this jumped out at me because it was a demon book. Clashes of good vs evil and all that jazz.At almost 300 pages and 99 cents... you really can't go wrong. Unless it's a complete dud and even then I usually force myself to get through at least 40% of a book before giving up.I went into this with fairly LOW standards. I haven't read anything by Reese Monroe (but I'm still an Entangled Fan).I was VERY surprised.This story is great. There is so much action and adventure and mystery surrounding this book that it kept me in suspense for almost two days. There was *just enough* romance to keep it spicy but not overly so that I was wondering where the story was.There is SO MUCH backstory that I could easily envision this world. It was a refreshing step outside my comfort zone (and yet still safely within my boundries) and I really enjoyed the time with it.Will I download and read the next book in the series? Definitely! I'm not salivating for it as others are, but I'm looking forward to it.
