Back Cover Blurb: Faith McFarland is in need of a miracle. So desperate to save her sick child, she’s willing to make a deal with the Devil: steal a ring worn by Finn Payne, the bad-boy rockstar who long ago sold his soul for rock ‘n roll. Temptation and seduction become necessary evils, yet Faith’s salvation means Finn’s damnation . . . because the ring is all that stands between him and Hell. Falling in love was never part of the bargain, but now that they’ve tasted heaven in each other’s arm’s, can they convince the Devil to give up his due?

Review: Readers of Terri Garey’s Nicki Styx novels will no doubt be familiar with this world and with our Devil—Samuel or Sammy as Lilith calls him but really he goes by a myriad of names …. including the infamous Lucifer and Beelzebub—but this was my first introduction and this book does a brilliant job of hooking you from the beginning. I read it in one night.  Read more

Synopsis
The most combative – and tormented – of all the Ferals, Jag is a predator who hunts alone – until daemons terrorize the human population. To stop them, he partners with Olivia, a flame-haired Therian temptress as strong as she is beautiful. But Olivia is no ordinary immortal. The survivor of a vicious supernatural attack, she possesses a deadly and forbidden skill – one that must remain hidden, especially from the powerful Feral Warriors.

As Jag and Olivia’s sensual dance of dominance and seduction gets wilder and hotter, a dark force sets its sights on Olivia, threatening to destroy everything she has vowed to protect. And the only one who can save her soul is the arrogant jaguar shifter she lusts for but dares not love.

Review
I really liked this book, in fact I liked it so much I read it all in one sitting.  The way the author writes is very simple to follow and very engaging. You learn about the characters through, not just their interaction with each other, but with their interactions with their enemies and friends. The H/H are not in their own universe and are dependent on everyone around them though they don’t have to be. Read more
