Confused and conflicted by her feelings for him, Amelia ponders who this man might be as he struggles with his own demons…literally. Is this a match made on earth, in heaven or…?
Dark Divas Reviews:
Review: This is an intriguing story that although based on a tried and true premise features a plucky, convincing heroine and a very captivating hero in Hunter.
Author Christopher C. Newman understands women very well and gives Amelia an inner world that is both amusing and realistic. He also excels at depicting dark forces and provides original and interesting images of demons and hell. Added to the mix is the triangle of sorts with Hunter's on-off lover Erzsébet jealously watching the developments on earth and this makes for some fast-paced, way above average romantic angst.
The sex scenes are many and often, frankly a bit creepy when they involve Erzsébet and demons, but still, this is an interesting book that is anything but typical of the erotic genre.
Without wanting to spoil this for those who haven't read it I hope there are more books planned for Hunter and Amelia, the ending seems to warrant it.
Rated 4 Delightful Divas by A.J. Llewellyn!

I highly recommend this book! An excellent story...I'm hoping for a sequel. All of Christopher C. Newman's books are phenomenal. I also expecially recommend the Ravenswood series, about a gruff occultist for hire. Way better and more accurate than Jim Butcher!
