I’m so glad Melissa decided to continue this series on her own! I loved the OG series by Melissa and Becca, and the world-building in that series is seriously amazeballs! I would highly recommend reading the OG series before tackling these companion books, but you can definitely start the series from this book if you are so inclined. However, I think this book makes a lot more sense if you start from the beginning and then delve into the companions.

Anyways…EDEN! I adored that spunky young woman! She has been through some heartbreaking times since the world went to sh*t, having lost her parents and had to endure the sexual persuasions of the men who stole her to help ‘rebuild’ the world and the human population, all without a trustworthy person to rely on and place her faith in. That is, until a certain fae with a single-minded determination to find her and protect her comes roaring into her life and turns her whole world on its axel. Ghua’s fascination with her sets Eden on edge, and she hides behind a façade of youth to deflect his overwhelming interest in her. But the lies we tell can never remain concealed for long, and Eden will have some serious decisions to make once Ghau finally discovers the truth.

I’m obsessed with Eden and Ghua. I loved Ghua in the OG series, but add in Eden’s flighty and snarky personality and you got a dream pair forged in the fires of Hell! I loved their chemistry and Eden’s attempts to dissuade Ghau’s fascination with her, though Eden’s façade as a 12-year-old could only ward him off for so long. Ultimately, we all knew they just HAD to be together, and I was SO EXCITED when Eden finally acknowledged her feelings and began to put her trust and heart in Ghua’s capable hands. Highly recommended for fans of the OG Resurrection series! Reading through the entire trilogy, only to miss out on this amazing companion novel, is NOT an option.

Faster pacing, but the whole story didn't need to be retold

I like this series a lot. We ended up with the whole story in one book instead of three, but we didn't need to learn about everything. Didn't like Ghua as much as Drav, but it was still good and I'm still excited to read the next book.

Well I had to do a quick reread of Demon Escape by M. J. Haag, because I just really enjoy Eden and Ghua’s story. This is the 4th book in Haag’s Resurrection Chronicles series and a great tale of survival in a post apocalyptic world. Living in a bunker with a gun always pointed her way and only her skills at finding food keeping her safe, Eden has to always be aware of the danger around her. Then when Van starts asking her for more than just food she knows it is time to escape. Unfortunately, escaping the bunker doesn’t guarantee safety when there are infected and hellhounds roaming the streets. I love this series and Eden is a such a strong character. I totally enjoyed rereading this book!

I didn't mind this installment but it wasn't as funny as the first book, and once again the heroine annoyed me.
I am not sure if I will read the last one.

I love how the story switched up with new characters, new POV and Ghua. Sweet, sweet Ghua. I admit the porn stash was a surprise, but the collection in the closet! Totally hilarious. Excellent series, these I will go back to over and over.
These stories are not so long that I can't just do a casual re-read and they are funny. The relationships are sweet, the men are everything we want :), and the action doesn't go too long like an epic tome.
I have to say, it reads a blend of R. Lee Smith/Ilona Andrews and way shorter. LOVE LOVE
fast-paced

Hilarious!

Eden and Ghua's story literally had me on the floor. The naivety of the fey is totally endearing. I think I might have been like Eden though. Too smart, afraid and independent to trust these guys
