Demon hunter Zenon lives with a dark secret. When he escaped Hell, he didn’t leave alone — and he’ll do anything to keep the shameful reason hidden. But when an intoxicating demi-demon, new to her powers, has him breaking all his own rules just to be near her, he knows he’s in serious trouble.Painfully aware of being different, Mia Westbrook has always kept herself apart from others. Yet her new demon life comes with strings attached, namely one scarred and broodingly seductive knight who storms into her world — and her heart — and may just be her perfect match.
But a formidable evil has been watching, and is determined to tear them apart. They want Zenon back in Hell, with them, where he belongs…
~BOOK REVIEW~
****(4) out of 5 Stars!
Oh my gosh! These books might very well be the end of me. So much drama, angst and heartache. It was almost more than I could take. As sad as I found the situation Lazarus was in when he met his mate Eve, it was nothing compared to what Zenon had to go through with Mia. These two had SO much to overcome!
Thanks to help from her sister Chaya, and having known beforehand that she is a demi-god, Mia is much more prepared to deal with her new reality as opposed to Eve and others. Still, it is quite an adjustment for her once she reaches the compound, especially because of the attraction she feels toward Zenon, and the slew of mixed signals that she receives from him.
As usual in these types of books, and so far in this series, good (or any!) communication between the two main characters would have solved about 90% of their problems. But then we would have been deprived of all the wonderous glory of this story.
Additionally, once again, neither of our protagonists felt worthy of each other or of any good thing that happened to them. I guess it should be comforting to know that even demon hunters and demi-gods have insecurities just like the rest of us!
Because this was the second book in the series, there was a lot less world-building that needed to be done, just some additional information provided and areas filled in. This seemed to provide more leeway for the actual narrative to occur.
There is one main story about Zenon contained in these pages, involving an entirely new figure (whom I absolutely hate, but in order to avoid spoilers will not name). There are also a couple of other people introduced who provide plot twists that I also do not want to reveal. But suffice it to say that a fascinating one comes to act as a savior for Mia, and the other appears to perhaps be of some signifigance to Chaos. Additionally, there are different subplots involving other people and various situations that are occuring alongside Zenon's main area of focus. Some of these are a continuation from the prior volume, and a few branch out into new territory. I didn't quite follow all of them, but I expect we'll continue to learn more as the series progresses.
It was fun to see characters from the last book again, and I look forward to seeing more of all of them in future installments.
The relationship that develops between Zenon and Mia, despite all the odds stacked against them, is amazing to behold, and I was entirely thrilled that (other than all of the outside drama that is also going on) they were FINALLY able to achieve their happily-ever-after (or at least their happily-for-now).
I received a free eBook copy of this title from the author,
and have willingly provided an honest review.

Excerpt:
“I have to do something, Mia.” As he spoke, the fierce mask fell away. He looked almost boyish then, shy, uncertain.
Licking her lips, she curled her fingers into the wall, trapping them behind her back. “Okay.” She didn’t know what was going on, but whatever was about to happen, she knew she wanted it.
“Please, just…you can’t touch me,” he said.
“I told you I wouldn’t,” she whispered.
He surprised her by running gentle, barely there fingers down the side of her face and across her jaw. “You’re beautiful.”
Was he going to kiss her? She didn’t move, didn’t breathe, wanting to taste him more than anything she’d ever wanted in her entire life.
His hands moved to the wall, either side of her head, and his gaze dropped to her mouth.
Oh my God.
He leaned in.
She forced herself not to squirm as his lips hovered above hers for several seconds, his breath mingling with hers. It took all her strength not to close the gap. But finally, he did, his lips coming down on hers, dry and soft and warm.
His entire body jerked at the contact, and he went completely still, breath puffing in and out of his nose.
Please, don’t stop.
But he didn’t. Slowly, ever so slowly, he opened his mouth. Mia’s heart was pounding when he finally made a rough sound and ran his tongue across her top lip.
She moaned.
His big body shuddered. “Open,” he said against her mouth.
