Publication date:

February 21st, 2012

Ok, I finally catched up with the series - I finished The Darkest Surrender just a few days ago & now of course I'm waiting for this one! Although not a big fan of Paris (at first I didn't like him, than for I think 2 of the books I felt sorry for him & I liked him, but than I just started disliking him more & more, but I know that Gena will make me like him again or at least to enjoy his & Sienna's story! I have to admit that The Darkest Surrender was the book I liked the least, so I'm hoping this one will be much better.

 

Summary:

At long last, New York Times bestselling author Gena Showalter unveils the story of Paris, the darkest and most tormented Lord of the Underworld..

Possessed by the demon of Promiscuity, immortal warrior Paris is irresistibly seductive - but his potent allure comes at a terrible price. Every night he must bed someone new, or weaken and die. And the woman he craves above all others is the one woman he'd thought was forever beyond his reach.until now.

Newly possessed by the demon of Wrath, Sienna Blackstone is racked by a ruthless need to punish those around her. Yet in Paris's arms, the vulnerable beauty finds soul-searing passion and incredible peace. Until a blood feud between ancient enemies heats up.

Will the battle against gods, angels and creatures of the night bind them eternally - or tear them apart?

Forgiven

February 3rd, 2012

Ok, so far I've read only the 1st book in the series Forsaken (in USA The Demon Trapper's Daughter) almost a year ago & I enjoyed it a lot, but when the sequel was out, I kept postponing buying it & than I decided to wait for this one & than read all books again, including re-reading Forsaken & reading the prequel novella Retro Demonology, so I just picked up Forbidden (the 2nd book - I have the UK editions, in USA it's Soul Thief) from the post office yesterday & I've already pre-ordered Forgiven & I can't wait to get it so I can read the series :) I don't know if there are spoilers in the summary below - I didn't read it just in case there are, so If you haven't read the first 2 books, don't read it if you don't like spoilers ;) 

 

Summary:

Jana Oliver's third spellbinding Demon Trappers novel - following The Demon Trapper's Daughter a.k.a Forsaken and Soul Thief a.k.a Forbidden - brings all new thrills, as Riley Blackthorne takes on demons, love... and the future of the human race.

The days are growing darker for 17-year-old demon trapper Riley Blackthorne. With her father's reanimated body back safely, Beck barely speaking to her because of a certain hunky Fallen angel, and a freshly-made deal with Lucifer, she has enough on her hands to last a normal teenage lifetime. Though she bargained with Heaven to save his life, her ex-boyfriend Simon has told the Vatican's Demon Hunters that she's working with Hell. So now she's in hiding, at the top of everyone's most-wanted list.

But it's becoming clear that this is bigger than Riley, and rapidly getting out of control: something sinister is happening in Atlanta. or someone. The demons are working together for the first time ever and refusing to die, putting civilians in harm's way. Riley thinks she might know who's behind it all, but who's going to believe her? Caught between her bargain with Heaven and her promise to Lucifer, Riley fears the final war is coming - and it may be closer than anyone thinks.
