Their chemistry is hot and combustible, without a doubt, yet their yearning for more than just the pleasure of the flesh will make you sigh in romantic splendor.
Many of the scenes will have you fanning yourself and gripping the pages as you fall under the spell of these two. She breathes pure desire, along with a sensual sweetness to both of these characters. But there is just one tiny problem… Well, you will have to read to find out what that is!Ĭarolyn Rosewood does an unbelievable job bringing both Jace and Faina to life. She yearns for her freedom and is told that if she snatches Jace’s pure soul, she will be granted just that. Not such a great match up.įaina has been through a lot in life (and death). The draw back? He LOVES sex and she thinks sex equals burning in hell. He is engaged to be married to a woman who is “perfect”. He is wonderful, kind-hearted, fun, intelligent and caring – not to mention hot. The Last Soul combines all of these delightful elements, adds a liberal dose of paranormal, a couple of mesmerizing characters and results is a combustive not-to-be-missed story! Review originally posted at Romancing the Book I've no idea how Ms Rosewood is going to develop this story in Hunted but look forward to finding out. With just the right touch of comic relief provided by Faina's colleague Jahi, and the gruesome ambivalence of Faina's true demonic nature, the story of the heroine's fall from disgrace captivates the reader and doesn't let go until the slightly too-tidy feel-good ending. On its own merits, the book was a delight to read, with some well thought-out twists and revelations. Unable to categorise the characters or mythology, I find it impossible to compare this book with others in the genre. On what she hopes will be her last assignment, she discovers to her consternation that her mark is far from evil, and that she's developing a serious crush on him. I enjoyed, then lost interest in Jill Myles' Succubus series, but this seems to be a completely different mythology.įaina is a minor denizen of the nether realms, condemned to seduce evil-doing mortals into signing over their souls to a higher-ranking and thoroughly loathsome demon.
Unfamiliar with the mythology, I'm not sure if Faina, the heroine of The Last Soul, qualifies as a succubus or occupies some other rung in the hierarchy of demons. I have yet to read Hunted, but knowing my penchant for losing interest halfway through sequels, I thought a few random first impressions and comments would be appropriate.įirst, I wish I'd been paying more attention when reading other books in the demonology genre. As a reader, I find such revelations the most pleasing gift an author can present her fans, not the guest blogs, giveaways and chat parties that have become an obligatory part of promotion. After purchasing Hunted from Evernight and discovering it was the sequel to The Last Soul, my read-in-order obsession compelled me to add the latter to my shopping cart.Īfter importing both books into my Calibre database, I was delighted to find, among the metadata for The Last Soul, an informative and fascinating author's description of the genesis of the two books.
