Legacy of Temptation
by Larissa Ione
adventurous
emotional
medium-paced
I needed this spark to go back to the Demonica series after 14 years!
Legacy of Temptation is a standalone in the new Demonica Birthright series by Larissa Ione. This series takes place after her Demonica and Horsemen series and is in the same world. I went into it basically with no background. I had read the first few books 14 years ago but remembered very little besides the basics. So much has changed!
This follows our heroine Eva, spokesperson and Guardian for The Aegis, the pro-human, anti-demon and supernatural agency. She's sent with a select contingent to visit with the Demon Activity Response Team (DART). In theory it's to learn to work together. In reality, it's to spy. There she meets Logan, the human appearing son of the Horseman known as Death. We follow along as they get to know each other, though they are both supremely against the other agency, and of course sparks follow.
There is so much information in this book. Not being super familiar with this world, and not remembering or yet meeting so many of the characters from the other series' books, there was a lot of catching up to do. That being said, I never got lost and stayed with the story. It was just a whole lot to wrap my head around, and so much happened! Ione has 16 years of this world's development, so it is extensive.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book and will continue it. I'll also go back to the other series when I have time and catch up, but it's a lot of books!
Thank you to #NetGalley for this #arc so that I could read this ahead of release! This book comes out February 6th!
