4.0

As a stand-alone novel, the romantic story surrounding another of the Carlisle sisters is a riveting page turner. Although it is the second book in the series, past conflicts were explained in-depth, allowing the reader to fully enjoy every aspect of this story. Ione and Dev’s steamy (and kinky) romance has you easily rooting for them, however the continuation of Nemesis Carter Hamilton’s terror from the first novel doesn’t conclude nearly as neatly. Ploy to keep viewers reading or not? It has me hooked enough to want to see what’s next...

Ione Carslisle has worked hard and done her best to live down her family reputation for evil. She occasionally uses her magic to disguise herself and pick up a guy for sex to work off her stress. Only the guy she picks up turns out to be the man sent to investigate her, a man that is making her question her plans for her future. Dev Gideon is secretively hosting a demon and his life is very complicated. He's never met a woman that the demon agreed with, until now.
When it turns out that the problems of the coven aren't Ione's fault and they both will risk a lot to survive.
It wasn't a bad read, the characters cared for each other but sometimes it just felt a little off and I'd love to know how they managed to get a group of witches to agree to anything in the first place. It just felt like some of the details were shoehorned in to make the plot work.
