My Demon of Fire by Rosemary A. Johns
4.0
I think there is a new trend in town for the paranormal books—they are not what they appear. That, or I got baffled by two newly released books two days in a row (one of them being Wolfed: Cursed by Love by [a:Leia Stone|3065284|Leia Stone|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1634866758p2/3065284.jpg]).
This book surprised me because the cover and the description (blurb) were indicative that this book would fit right into the usual stream of paranormal books: a bad boy in a enemies-to-lovers clash with the warrioress protagonist. But, hold and behold! It did not!
I had wanted to gorge myself on some fast food of a book and instead I got a salad packaged in a hamburger wrap. (This is my roundabout way of saying that it was, in fact quite tame romantic-wise and very charged plot-wise).
The dramatic moment in the book clung to one point in the book: the protagonist had to save her sister in six days and for them both to get out of hell before they would be trapped there forever. All the while she was undercover in hell as the fated-mate of one of Hell`s Princes.
Quote:
Sincerely, for the tone that this book had, I would have expected it to be a YA. I mean, the relationship was cordial and the “sexy” bits were kept to a minimum. There were even some moments in which certain behavior patterns were flagged as wrong or worthy of questioning:
Overall, the book was satisfactory. But, if I am honest with myself, I do not think I would read the next book in this installment anytime soon.
