Product Description |
In a place where ecstasy can cost you your life . . .
She's a demon-slayer who hungers for sensual pleasure-but fears it will always be denied her. Until Tayla Mancuso lands in a hospital run by demons in disguise, and the head doctor, Eidolon, makes her body burn with unslakable desire. But to prove her ultimate loyalty to her peers, she must betray the surgeon who saved her life.
Two lovers will dare to risk all.
Eidolon cannot resist this fiery, dangerous woman who fills him with both rage and passion. Not only is she his avowed enemy, but she could very well be the hunter who has been preying upon his people. Torn between his need for the truth and his quest to find his perfect mate before a horrific transformation claims him forever, Eidolon will dare the unthinkable-and let Tayla possess him, body and soul . . .

Welcome to General Hospital, Demon style |
Upon reading this book you will enter a world of demons, doctors and slayers, (excuse me, Guardians.) Eidolon is a demon doctor at Underworld General. Tayla is a guardian who kills demons and ends up in Eidolon's ER. The two of them hate what the other is. Tayla's mother was killed by a demon and Eidolon's brother was killed by a guardian. Everyone is protected in this special hospital by wards and spells and all are welcome. What I liked about his book was the unpredictability of the story. There were many twists and turns and the characters never acted as I expected them to. Speaking of characters, this book is full of wonderful, inventive and strangely amazing ones. You have demons, half-demons, Guardians, and all have their own agenda. This book had loads of action, hot steamy romance and a great plot. I can't wait to read the next book in this new entertaining series. If you are a paranormal romance junkie, you will love this book.

This was made of awesome |
I'm not even a huge paranormal reader, but the romance between Tayla and Eidolon hit all the right notes for me. What an amazing book! I've never read anything so delicious in my life. The writing ... lovely, powerful, evocative and edgy. The characters? Strong, compelling and memorable. The plot? Tight as a drum, break-neck pace.
It's also chock full of interesting secondary characters, who don't seem like sequel bait so much as an important part of the protagonists' lives. Ms. Ione also manages something very difficult; she does a compelling job with the world-building, giving us just enough to let us understand what's going on, but there's never an info dump. I'd say this is one of the most original paranormal romances I've read all year. If you're not familiar with the concept, it's about the demonic underworld, centered around a hospital that takes care of otherworldly injuries. Genius! Her execution of this creative premise is nothing short of genius.
I picked this book up after I finished my draft of Doubleblind and I devoured it in one sitting. The passion between to the two leads is explosive, and the sex is set-fire-to-the-pages hot. Ms. Ione has also set up some of the best tension I've ever seen between two leads. You know how sometimes in romances, the reason the hero and heroine don't get together seems a bit manufactured, full of dime-store angst? In this book, there's a serious Romeo and Juliet vibe. If I'd emailed her a list of my criteria before she wrote this book (and I didn't), telling her what I want in a paranormal romance, she couldn't have written a novel more perfectly suited to my tastes.
For me, this book was an A+. If you like dark, gritty, edgy, intensely emotional and erotic romances with a rocket ship full of genuine conflict and angst, you don't want to miss this book. I'm now a total fangirl (and that doesn't happen too often). I can't wait for the next installment |

This was the best book i have ever read. If you are into paranormal romance this is the best one to read. It is so sexy and Larissa is an amazing writer. I hope that she writes a second, third, fourth etc. I fell in love with the characters and the whole thing. It WAS GREAT! If i had more than two thumbs they would be up! :) |

Unbelievably good. |
|
We were going on a long trip to Europe and I had to have a book to read during our numerous train rides that we would be taking. I didn't have to time to search book titles like I normally do. I picked this one up off the shelf because I was desperate and couldn't stand being in a 4 hour train rides with out a book. Boy was I ever glad I was lucky with the choice I made. I couldn't put the book down. The characters were so well written and the story developed in a fast pace. It was unbelievable good. For the next week we would take more train rides and I didn't have any other book except for this one. Books are expensive there and english written books are hard to find. I read this book all across Europe 6 more times. And every time I did was like reading it for the first time. I felt the same excitement and thrill. Loving every moment of it. If I had to read a book over and over again because I didn't have a choice, this is the book for the job. I thanked my lucky stars I picked this one up instead of a trashy forgettable book that I have the misfortune to pick on occasion. |

An Unexpected Treat! |

I didn't expect this book to be as good as it was. Larissa has a perfect amount of mystery, sex, romance and action. Eidolon was hot hot hot! And Tayla is a force to be reckoned with. There were no down parts or pointless page fillers in this book. I was captivated the whole time. I just loved this book from start to finish and I highly recommend it. I can't wait for the next installment. |
