Summary:

As an exorcist, David Aronowitz grew up the target of demonic assassins. Now he’s a member of the Execution Underground and hellspawn everywhere fear his name. But when a demon slips into the seductive body of the only woman he’s ever loved, David must confront the heartbreak of their past to save her.  The piece of her heart Allsún O’Hare gave to David so long ago left her trapped between two worlds: the Fae and the human.  And when David comes to her rescue, fate reunites her with her greatest temptation—and her biggest mistake.  Now, as they’re swept together into a wicked game with the demon who controls her, David must decide if saving Allsún’s life is worth sacrificing his own—and the future of humanity itself.

Review:

I found this book one day whilst browsing Netgalley, I actually received this book as an arc at the time, unfortunately this review is coming to you after the release.

The blurb instantly caught my attention, this genre is one my favourites, so I knew I wanted to read it.

The story is told from two sides, David's and Allsún's.  However we also get an outlook into a few of the other characters lives.  Brilliantly written by the author.  So descriptive, you get to know the characters so easily and find yourself falling into the world in which they live.  A world of action, pain, romance and a few tears, makes for an overall enjoyable read.  I found all the murder scenes they were investigating were written well.  If your a supernatural fan, you will find the details from the demons to the demon hunters, all blend well together and make it very easy to picture the scenes. No page left me disappointed, only wanting more.

I didn't realise at the time that this is the 2nd book.  From what I read description wise of the first book, its not a must read in order.  It seems to be based on one of the other characters in this book and their story, also giving you an insight/introduction to other characters lives also.  No doubt it is another must read, another added to my 'To Read' List.  I highly recommend you getting this book to read.  A great story for all lovers of the supernatural genre.  And if its your first time reading this genre and wanting to try something new, this is the book for you.  You won't be disappointed!

Congratulations to Kait Ballenger, may you have many future successes!

New Year, New Book Review! by Kimmy

Hey all,

With the holidays over (boo) and now quickly working our way into January 2014, I have finally finished reviewing my first book of the year.  Over the holidays I spent time catching up on one of my favourite TV Shows 'Supernatural'.  So when I came across this book and read the synopsis, I couldn't resist.

Seeking The Storyteller 
by Jessica Walsh & Briana Lawrence

With all books, I am always excited to read the prologue.  It's like the worm dangling on the hook.  Tempting you to bite, the hook just hidden, waiting to latch on.  Unfortunately the prologue in this book didn't succeed.  Many of the scenes were over descriptive.  The demon seemed too cooperative in providing information and the hunters too easygoing to accept it.  A demon behind plain bars, no bounds or chains, none of the familiar markings, wards etc we are used to seeing or reading about.  No torturing of any kind to get this information.  Nevertheless I continued on with the book.  The following chapters did lead to much more exciting reading.  Alot of which I do feel would have been better for the prologue.

I loved the Scough.  Mira is dead cute, sometimes it felt a little strange to fully grasp her age etc but anywho, all the cuteness that came with the Scough...squeeeee!!!

Unfortunately, there were perhaps too many storylines happening within the book.  A few of which didn't ever really come to anything or just ended too quick.  I would have loved to have seen more focus on some of these i.e Xaver's death or Dox and Cyn to properly play them out and then perhaps ending the book with the entrance into the demon world to seek the storyteller.  I am under the belief that this is going to be a series, so it just seemed strange that it all felt just a little bit rushed and a little bit too much thrown into the first book.  Also some of it just felt unexplained.  For example, we have two hunters who kill demons.  Demons that harm humans.  Yet the demons in the story (apart from the main bad guy) all pose no threat to humans, even when they travelled to the demon world, none crossed their paths.

However, I see potential for this series.  With a bit of work I can really see both authors make something great out of this and I do hope I get the opportunity to read and review the rest of the series.

Congratulations to Jessica and Briana on their first joint book publishing.  May you both have many future successes!
