Read 7 times. Last read July 12, 2023 to July 13, 2023.
Re-reading it (yes again, this makes it my 5th time) for the Buddy read with the MacHalos October 16, 2015.
I love this book every time, I can't put it down! It goes by incredibly fast, you have finished it before you realize it.
The book traps you from the very beginning. It has the perfect amount of action, romance, world-building and side characters.
The idea of this world, the idea of good vs. evil both in humans and demons, all surrounding the Underground General Hospital, it's pretty interesting and entertaining.
I liked the development of the romance. The moments and conversations that Tayla and Eidolon shared where meaningful every time.
Tayla grew, healed, trusted and loved with Eidolon's help. His self-assurance, kindness, patience and understanding lead her to shatter her barriers. In the end, she opened her eyes and stopped being the innocent, traumatized, seeking to belong, scared and prejudiced girl that she was and became her own person, her own woman, her own demon.
All the characters are well developed. I really like ALL the side characters in this book.
The three seminus demon brothers are intriguing, attractive and seducing. There is left no doubt that you are going to want to know more about them and keep reading the series.
Gem's story gets better and better in each book, and by the 3rd one she has had a great love story all around.
Since I am an animal lover, I enjoyed that Eidolon and Tayla had their own furry pets, it was refreshing to have a dog and a weasel versus the typical cat (I don't have anything against cats, I just think it is a nice change; I am a dog person after all, and this kind of books tend to give preference to cats).
Audiobook: I cannot say the narrator is bad because she is not. Cassandra Campbell does a good job with this. However, I can't say I liked her, personally speaking I am more inclined towards a more lively, happy and energetic voice. She sounds a bit glum for my taste. I needed more vitality in Tayla. Her voice for Eidonon is cool though.
P.S.: I love, love this series! This is one of my favorite Paranormal Romance Series of all time. Larissa Ione's Lords of Deliverance Series are great too!

After 5 reads, it was about time I wrote some opinion about it. ; )
Thank you, Carissa!
It is pretty good. I read your review of this book, I liked it.
Lovely review Penny!
Thank you, before I wrote my review I had read a very bad opinion about the book and so I felt like it deserved some championing. ; P
Lovely review Penny!"
Thanks Jess! But you liked better the rest of the books right? Or is a series that doesn't do it for you?
Fab review, Penny :)
Oh yes, Jess. Give them another opportunity!
Fab review, Penny :)"
Yes, read them!
Although I must say you started with the wrong series. The Lords of Deliverance is a spin-off of the Demonica series, so chronologically the events from LOD happen after what happened in Demonica. In fact, because what happens in the last book of Demonica we have the LOD books. Demonica ends with the appearance of one of one of the horsemen at the hospital. Also, you get characters from Demonica in the LOD series. :P
Fab review, Penny :)"
Yes, read them!
Although I must say you started with the wrong series. The Lords of Deli..."
Yeah, I know. I love a bit of challenge though and I'm sure they will all make sense at the end :)
By the way, fab review, Penny! :)
