This was the first book I have read by Monica LaPorta and it certainly will not be my last. Although this book is #4 in The Immortals Series I didn't feel like I was missing any background information that put me at a disadvantage while reading the book.
Peter is a demon and is considered the lowest on the chain. He is called by Arariel to do a reading of the dead, which Peter specializes in. There he finds a couple intertwined and questions are raised on the species of the dead and how they died. There he meets a Forensic Anthropologist werewolf named Ophelia. Sparks fly between the two of them but they are both hesitant to get involved with each other.
Both Peter and Ophelia are stubborn and normally into one-night stands. The banter between the two of them is great and the sexual tension between them is very intense!
As they both dive further into their investigation their lives are on the line as constant attempts are made to force them out of their investigation. Also on the line is their feelings for each other.
As they get deeper into the mystery they both must find what they are really searching for and at what length will they go to protect the other one from danger.
The book is full of suspense and mystery and I was definitely surprised at the ending. I loved how all the different groups of paranormals got along and there wasn't any of the fighting between groups that is usually seen in books. This to me was a huge bonus and one of the parts of the book that I loved!

I received a free ecopy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I have loved everything I have received from this author and this book is no exception.
Book #4 of the Immortals series, we are introduced to Peter who is a demon that has the job of reading the last moments of the dead. Ophelia, who we met in book #3 is still pining for Samual and doesn't know if she will ever find her true mate. The characters of Peter and Ophelia are so similar you wonder if they will ever fit together but at the same time how can they stay apart.
Peter and Ophelia come together to solve the mystery of the deaths of two lovers found entwined in a grave, one is the skeleton of a vampire which shouldn't exist in the first place. Peter's touch gives him the ability to see the last moments of someone before they die. His touch also has a powerful affect on a woman. His reputation proceeds him and Ophelia is instantly drawn to this demon and he is to her but soon he decides he wants more than a one night stand. What results is a powerful emotional tug of war that leaves you wondering if these two will ever hook up or remain stubborn and heartbroken.
All of the books in the Immortals series can be read as stand alone books or in order. I've read them all and each are great, this one so far is my favorite. I love the strong characters of both Ophelia and Peter as well as the mystery that encompasses them. Its a great story and one that shouldn't be missed.
