charms1976's review against another edition

In novel number four of the Demonica series by Larissa Ione, we are introduced to the newest brother of the group. After not knowing about Lore and vice-versa, the brothers are still coming to terms with the new family addition. While in the process of this, Lore is also having to deal with the fact that his new assignment is to kill their good friend Kynan. Lore has no choice but to follow these orders since his boss that holds the contract for his life also holds the contract on his twin sisters life.
Enter an angel named Idess. She is basically a guardian angel and has been assigned Kynan as her human to protect. Even though Kynan is charmed and untouchable, he still is in danger and Idess needs to keep guard on him. If she succeeds, she earns her wings and can be with her family in the Heavens. While protecting Kynan, she meets Lore and they both feel the attraction. As they decide to work together in finding a loophole, Idess is shocked to discover that she now must protect Lore as well.
While I enjoyed the story of this book, I wasn't a big fan of Idess. I just couldn't connect with her like I have with the previous females in the series. Lore was sexy and charming, but Idess just didn't seem to be a good fit for him in my opinion. I could see him more with a character like Gem. He needed someone rough, tough and less angelic.
Out of all the books so far in the series, this is my least favorite. I still enjoyed it, but it just wasvnot as wonderful as the previous books. I am still excited though for the next book that features Sin who just happens to be a rare Seminus demon because she is female.

Lore is a seminus half-breed demon and assassin. He kills with no remorse. That is why he is good at his job. There is just one problem. Lore has attacks where if he goes too long without sex than he could die.
Idess is an angel. She watches over and protects humans. Her latest human is wanted by Lore. Lore’s master has sent him to kill the human. Idea will do anything to protect the human, every if it means giving up her vow for chastity.
Ecstasy Unveiled is the latest Demonica novel in this series. I have only read book two and four so far but I have enjoyed both books a lot. This is one urban fantasy series that readers need to discover if they haven’t already. The men are hot and the women are strong and sexy. The concept of good versus evil portrayed in this was with Lore being a demon and Idess an angel was good. I hope to see Lore and Idess again sometime. I like that I have something other to read in this genre than vampires. Not to say that there is anything wrong with vampire stories but they can get old quick. I am slowly becoming a fan of demons. Thanks to authors like Larissa Ione.

It's been years since I read book #3 in this series, and I actually debated just stopping there. Because outside of Eidolon, Shade, and Wraith, I didn't really care about any new MCs. I'm definitely glad I gave it a try though because coming back to this world really was wonderful.
I didn't get as attached to Lore and Idess as I did to any of the first three brothers and their mates. My enjoyment of this one was purely plot based. Which I'm totally fine with because that's something I can almost never say about romance novels (it's really, REALLY not my genre of choice outside of...basically this one series.)
I don't know when I'll pick up book 5 but I probably won't wait another 3 years.

I love that these books keep getting better and keep adding amazing layers to the world. Just when you think you know everything, you find out more. I love this series.

Lore is a lovable character, but also one who makes the dumbest decisions (wait all the brothers are stupefied when comes to their mates) However as much as parts of this book annoyed me, I grew to love both Idess and Lore and this book still lands highly on my shelf of books, great continuation of the series!

For whatever reason I couldn't care less about this one. Why are we still dealing with the same villain as in book 1? -_-

This is between Lore(the half demon/half human sibling) and Idess(a pre-angel, for lack of a better term). We also get to meet Sin his twin sister(female Sem demons don't exist) for the first time.
I liked how the relationship between Lore and Idess progressed.
The steam is starting to get a bit blandly repetitive though. Here's hoping Sin's book is more spicy....

Made me wonder why I left it so long to get back to this series. Loved Lore's story, poor guy couldn't seem to catch a break, and Idess seemed truly kick-ass yet good to the core. Fantastic story, though I'm wondering how they're going to keep the background tension going without Roag.
