abrasrose 's review for:
The Demon's Daughter
by Emma Holly
I really loved this book. It hinges on the beautiful characterization of the hero, Adrian. He really yearns for a life with affection and family, but has given up hope it will never happen for him. Adrian was married, but his wife (who he didn't know well before they married) considered him a duty rather than a partner and a joy. He couldn't live like that for the rest of his life so he asked for a divorce. Since this book is set in a version of 19th century England, a gentleman's (even a lowly policeman's) options were very limited in who he can marry and so he feels he's missed his window of opportunity.
The rest of the plot is fine and the other characters are good, but what drew me in was the emotional and sensitive nature of Adrian.
