Anya is the goddess of anarchy and cursed in an interesting way, she meets Lucien, who is hosting Death and they have to work together to survive, he's ordered to kill her but the attraction is stopping him and she is very distracting.

It's an interesting story but I had some issues with the characters and how they behave with each other. I can't put my finger on it but in certain ways I felt uneasy with some aspects of the relationship

Well this book starts very shortly after the first book finished.

Lucien, otherwise known as Death, is the stoic, calm one of the demons and rarely flies into a temper unlike his friends. However, upon meeting Anya the goddess of Anarchy, he finds that his temper flies and even the though of another man touching her can elicit a tantrum.

Anya was given a curse as a child by the wife of one of the men her husband had slept with. Anya cannot be penetrated by a man unless she wants to be bound to him for eternity. She has lived her life in fear of being taken or raped by a man and losing her freedom. She is feisty and fun, oh and she has a love of stealing otherwise she ends up setting things on fire.

Both find that when they touch each other sparks go off and they cannot stop thinking of the other. An adventure to find relics pushes them together and the sparks fly leading them to see what they would truly give up for the other be it life or freedom.

Do you have to give us such a bitchy and self-absorbed heroine? At least in the first chapter. Total turn-off.

Better than the first one.

Anya is a blast! I love all the nicknames she gives to Lucien. Calling him "Lucy" and "Flowers" being my two favourites!

These books are incredibly easy to read. They are definitely more about the love story of the star couple than a plot driven piece, but there is an interesting background story happening that's just enough to keep you going.

We saw scenes from the POV of two other warriors in this book, Reyes, keeper of Pain and Paris, keeper of Promiscuity, so their stories have me intrigued now too after the little sneak peek we got of happenings in this book. I believe Reyes' story is next and am looking forward to it.

Really should be a 2.5. It's middle of the road for me but I liked the mythology/world-building.
