it was amazing
Read 3 times. Last read April 21, 2022 to April 29, 2022.

1st book in this series... that I still think is the best one after all these years.. Jacob and Bella set the stage beautifully for this explosive series. I first read this book in early 2007. This re-visit has been a wonderful walk down memory lane. Cause I remember where I was mentally and emotionally when I first opened this book all those years ago. And this book got me back into reading big time. Which was something that I hadn't done in years up until that moment.. How I walked away from my first love (reading)..shameful. but I will be forever grateful that this book, on that cloudy January day all those years ago, brought me back.🖤

This is an awesome read and entertaining take on the myths and legends of Demons, Spirituality, Love, Honor and Hope.. I love this series. But book 1 will forever be my favorite 💛

 ~*~Princess Nya Vasiliev~*~ The whole series is awesome. I SUGGEST u read it, but definitely read in order. Plots are very detailed and connected... I read this book a few years before I joined GR, so I wasn't comfortable writing reviews then and I couldn't remember enough of the book to give a good review. Just knew I loved it so it was a 5 star read for me. Eventually, I finished the series. It's an awesome series. This book is my fave out of the series though. It's the only one I still have in paperback.

LOL! I hope u like it. Girl, Jacob is the business. let me tell u. I do remember wanting one of him all for myself *snickers*

I've read this book countless times since my first read of it, it's beyond good. There is this underlining current of God & Demons. Spirituality & things of the Paranormal. It's woven well & in an interesting & entertaining & beyond erotic way. There were plenty of moments of emotional tear jerkers too. That's very evident throughout this entire book, & the trend continues through the series.

There are things here that Ms. Frank (Author) was clearly trying to do that didn't always sit well with me, though(The making of what is purely evil seem to be good & even have a love/Respect for the Creator of all) It was very clever, & I must admit at times, very touching & sweet. But cos I'm a follower of Christ, this aspect didn't always sit well with me completely.

But if u can take this book for what it really is, purely entertainment. Cos it's an excellent book & series, I think u can & should be able get past this aspect. I was able to. It's a great read :)


 ~*~Princess Nya Vasiliev~*~ Ur welcome sis:) Glad I could help. I wouldn't want u to read something that would bother u. So I felt compelled to tell/warn u of this aspect. Though I truly believe in my heart of hearts, u would be able to look past this aspect & enjoy the story for what it is. But only u know what u can & can't overlook. So just wanted u to have a real choice in the matter (hugs)

No prob sis...

Hahaha! I wish I could comment on that. I told you Aiden would have u way curious. At 44% I was still on pins & needles trying to figure him out. Chloe was teasing me with things she would be coming across & questioning to herself about him, but not bringin it up to him (u get why she didn't though) so it made the suspense even more intense & nerve wracking at the same time.


Jonesgrl You recommended this for me a while ago. I finally got a chance to read it. I absolutely love it. Thanks!

You're welcome! I'm glad you loved it. Are you going to finish the series? It's really good.


Debbie Oooh, Princess, this one sounds like it will be GOOD!😃


Debbie Ok, I tried to get this in Kindle version-not happening! Ended up having to buy it as a USED paperback for $8.00! WTH!?! They have lost their greedy ever-lovin' MINDS with book prices these days!

Yes. This book/series is old. When I read it in 2007, it had already been published for a few yrs. And I actually didn't know it was part of a series until 2 yrs later, when I reviewed it. I posted this review in 2009. But this book/series is awesome! So the paperback prices are definitely worth it. But it is an old series. You probably could have gotten it at Half Priced books for like 3 bucks🤣

You definitely need to read this stand-alone this same author wrote as well. OMG! Guuurrl 🥵🥵🥵 Drink of Me by Jacquelyn Frank

I don't know. We usually just go to their shop since they're like 8 mins from my house. But I'm sure they have a site. Don't know if you can order from there though.
