Mortification Scale: 4 Tomato Faces
- 1st and 2nd TFs for being a paranormal romance
- 3rd for really embarrassing cover
- 4th for unabashed fantasy love scenes
- None that I can come up with
- Wait, it is a quick, entertaining read!
- Oh, and it's hot!
Xypher, a half-Greek god/half-Sumerian demon, has one month to live as a human and either prove that he is worthy of life, or pursue his vengeance against the woman who betrayed him. While he is still questing for vengeance, he is bound to Simone, a medical examiner in New Orleans. Atlantean bracelets are locked onto their wrists by Daimons sent by Xypher's enemy. These bracelets bind Xypher and Simone so that if one dies, the other does as well. Also, they can't be more than 20 feet from each other without dying. In a stunning plot twist, they fall in love.
There are the predictable conflicts to overcome and miraculous twists in fate that allow them to live together as immortals. Altogether, a nice installment in the series, but that series has now developed into churned out rehashes of one plotline containing the same brooding, sexy hero and practically indistinguishable heroines. It's entertaining, but from what I hear, so are soap operas to those who are addicted to them. Save this book for a beach read or for a rainy day when you want to escape from reality for a couple of hours.
