Yeah, not a winner. The beginning was interesting - a very strange world, here-and-now with the addition of demons, in secret. Lily was a bit annoying with her low self-esteem (I'm dangerous, avoid me!), but it read like she might develop into something more. And in the end, it kind of worked out - she did improve, on several levels. But the middle was unbearable - I finally had to just skip over a chunk. She made wrong choice after wrong choice after the worst possible choice, over and over. I really liked the scene where she warded off Kaine and his plans... and then she ran away, leaving her boss with the worst possible interpretation of her (stupid) actions. I dislike unreliable narrator anyway, which is most of the point of this book - and apparently the next one too, she's going to have to deal with another brainwashed demon (or cambion, I couldn't tell from the excerpt). Excellent writing - rich characters, very good description, great dialog - but not a story that was worth reading for me. ( )

I read this book because i won book two in the series in a giveaway and i hate reading things out of order. It's a well written story with a well developed plot and interesting characters. i just didn't feel like i was reading anything new or different.
I think if you're new to the urban fantasy/romance genre this would be an excellent series to start with, but if you've read a lot of it you're going to feel like you're doing a reread. This could just be her laying the ground work for the rest of the series, we'll see😊😊

I did like how murder happy this author was, this book was a blood bath lol. ( )

First, let me say that I was given an early reviewer copy of this in exchange for an honest review (through the LibraryThing Early Reviewer program).

Now that that's out of the way... I really enjoyed this book. The exposition didn't feel gratuitous. Even the sexy parts moved the story forward. I kind of wish it had been a standalone - not sure why everything has to be a series now - but still a really well written and fun book. ( )

Given my recent interest in the court system, I was hooked by up and coming prosecutor Lilly Knight, a half succubus moonlighting as an ordinary human in San Francisco. That is, until she trips over a succubus corpse in the park and is dragged into a string of murders, a rushed prosecution, and too many secrets with a handsome knew acquaintance and an insufferable old friend. This NA fantasy romance stands alone while leaving strong hooks for the sequel. ( )

Lily is a Cambion; half human and half demon. Someone is killing demons and Lily has to figure out who. Loved this book! Loved the twists and turns ( )
