As I've gotten older, my feelings on Lore and Idess have only intensified. When I first read Ecstasy Unveiled, I was coming off the OG Seminus brothers, all of whom had my heart in unique and extremely specific ways. Lore, however, was different, an assassin who ostensibly had almost no moral code; Idess herself was both intensely capable and somehow fragile, which a young me took as annoying rather than an indicator that a single person could contain multitudes. I now appreciate their story so much more than I did because it's the story of redemption and how happiness and love can help someone course correct if they have a desire to do so. Their story also introduced us to Sin, whose story now absolutely breaks me, and we got more Seminus brothers and their mates. Larissa Ione is the absolute freaking queen (!) of paranormal romance, and I love going back to the world that she created.
