5.0

Serena Kelley is an archaeologist who specializes in magical, often demonic artifacts. She's protected by a powerful charm that keeps her safe and healthy, as long as she stays a virgin. Wraith is half-Seminus demon, half-vampire, and has generally been a jerk for large parts of his life because of early life tragedies. However, when he is poisoned, he goes after the only thing that can save him -- Serena's charm. Unfortunately, saving him will doom Serena, whose incurable disease can only be stopped by the charm, but saving Serena not only dooms Wraith, but his brothers and Underworld General Hospital itself, because they're all linked.

This may be my favorite Demonica book. Wraith has been an asshole through the first two books, but he really changes when meeting Serena, and the link between him and his brothers adds weight to his terrible dilemma. He may be willing to die himself, but does he choose to save his brothers or the woman he loves? Serena is tough, smart and spunky (if a little naive) and a great heroine. Overall, it's an excellent book.
