I honestly thought I would read until the end of this series. But I’m seeing a certain cliché pattern of events unfold in each book, and I’m not sure I want to continue.

Demon guy and human-ish girl meet.

Hate each other.

Fall in love through great sex.

Human-ish girl realizes the dude may die, and realizes she loves Demon dude.

Last two pages are where a full battle ensues...somehow.

Couple somehow survive random, boring battle with too much banter and not enough gore.

Happily ever after.

LIKE I KNOW IMPENDING DEATH VIA POISON OR CURSES MAKES A LOVE SOUND MORE EPIC BUT GOSH LARISSA KINDA OF OVERDID IT DIDN’T SHE??

Ok, this one is by far my favorite. Love Wraith's progression through the book. Really enjoyed the side story of Gem and Kynan and how that turned out. Overall awesome book. Well worth the time and money.

Why must these brothers all be so awesome? I so enjoyed watching Wraith develop and fall in love and want to settle down. It was also nice to see him evolve from selfish to more selfless. I can't wait to see what happens with the gang at UG next and I'm looking forward to learning more about Lore.

I have been waiting for Wraith's book since the beginning and I had a hard time not skipping to his book! When a bad boy hero can get under your skin within the first few chapters of the first book in a series, it is hard not to want to read about his story right away. This was definitely worth the wait!

When Wraith becomes infected with a demon virus with no cure, he doesn't have much time to seek out the only option he has left. He must find a charm that will protect him from the disease. One problem he doesn't expect is finding it securely around the next of an irresistible female who happens to be human as well. Wraith has never craved human women for sexual pleasure or food. Now that he has met Serena, he has fallen under her charm though. He craves her and doesn't want anyone else to come near her. As his feelings grow for Serena, he must decide to if he really wants to take the charm -- and doom her to death -- or if he will sacrifice himself for the love of a human female.

Up until this book, Wraith has always been the bad boy vamp/demon that you grow to love. He is irresponsible, deadly at fighting, and all around bad as they get. He instantly captures your interest and demands your attention when he appears on the pages. I loved Wraith in this book because not only did we get his usual personality, but we also got to see a tender and protective side of him as well. He has to fight his natural instincts and decide who is of greater importance -- Serena or himself. This book again takes your heart on an emotional roller coaster not knowing what exactly is going to happen. The author likes to tug at your heart strings until the very last possible moment. Again another great book in the Demonica Series that is quickly becoming one of my favorite series ever!

I'm so glad Gem is with her lover and will live forever and have a lot of kids. The architectural digs are fun as is the adventure in this book however I will be stopping here for this series. They are all quite interesting the first half of the book and I love the endings when things are resolved but during the middle and near the ending I just zone out soooo much so that's it for me.

That was so damn good. I'm physically disgusted by how fucking good this book is. Damn it. Damn it all.

DAMN IT THIS WAS SO GOOD DID I MENTION HOW GOOD THIS WAS.

Nobody look at me, I need a moment.

Once again, they keep getting better. I wasn't sure what I wanted from Wraith's story, but Larissa gave me everything I needed. It was the perfect way for Wraith to find everything he wasn't looking for. I loved it.
