RE-READ
Original squeeeing review can be read below in spoiler tag *which kinda make me embarrassed, lol*, but well, I'm glad I got my fangirl-mojo back.
While I kinda lost contact with friend that recommend me this book back at 2011 (wow, time sure flies fast. 8 years ago!!), I can't thank her enough to my intro into Demonica series. Sure this series have some up and down, but Larissa Ione always deliver. Pleasure Unbound is no exception. Eidolon still is, non-arguable- my favorite Seminus demon, even readers love Wraith more. I know that Tayla at first can be too hot-headed, but I can't blame her because fanatical thought is horrible (and still do until now.). I like how Ione solved Tayla's sexual problems, not just magically cure her can't-orgasm by Eidolon's magic peen in the first time, but make it progress slowly while E and Tayla try to understand each other. Who knows that a simple hospital for demons and just your ordinary battle between good vs evil can be so..so ..much more.
Also, Pleasure Unbound is the most erotic Demonica book Ione's write (bordering erotica, tho), so who am I to complaint, hahaha. Since her books after that tend to plot rather than just some sex scenes throw in your face. But, hey, Ione is one of those authors that know how to write blazing, scorching, sex scene, so go figure!
Ah, I missed all those good paranormal romance books in their glory era (circa 2008-2014) *sigh*
I HAVE A NEWS FOR ALL EIDOLON'S FANS!!
Just look at the bottom of my review *grin*
---------------------------------------------------------
Just wanna say :
Everybody love Wraith, maybe because his bad-ass attitude
Everybody love Shade, maybe because.. what? Dunno *lol*
But
For me, just one of Seminus Brother that from the beginning until the end, that still captivated me, still make me love him, still make me adore him and his name is..
EIDOLON
*LOL*
So, is it wrong that his book is favorite of mine? But, actually all of Demonica are favorite of mine!
This is my 3rd times read...And I realize something,...
Wraith's book is about his change, from his bad-ass attitude to became a better person (and remember he is badly tortured at the past, so he deserved happines for his book)
Shade's book is about how he deal with his curse, and his feeling to Runa..I dunno, Shade is not my favorite Sem after all, but after re-read his book, I got his"other" side, that I'd missed when first read it...
Eidolon's is about prejudice... Maybe with highly erotica content in this book (hello chapter 2 *grin*), people forgot, that his book have a deepest meaning from all Demonica (in my opinion of course)...
It's about prejudice, both from Demon side and Human side...
Especially from human side, let's say Tayla...
Tayla believe that all demon are bad, all demon are cruel. But look, after she meet Eidolon, she know that she wrong. That every side not always black and white. Every side always have a gray side, a shade, that make is right isn't always right, and wrong not always wrong.. Demon aren't all bad, there are some harmless demon, and The Aegis, her organization is not as good as she believed..
And then E.... While many fans of Demonica love Wraith,I love E because his dedication to his hospital, and while his relationship with Wraith not good like Wraith and Shade, he still care for his little brother...
I must stop babbling about this series *lol*
I'm glad when some friend of mine decided to read this, and then they love it...
I'm glad that Larissa Ione make this wonderful series...
What I must said?
If you not read Demonica yet, you must take this to your top to-read list ;)
