I was worried going into this one because I was so excited for Joseph's story and because I loved Torr's so much. So happy to find out I shouldn't have been worried.
This book jumps back into the normal chaos on earth and with that returns to the different story lines woven together. I don't know if I'm happy with the break we got with Torr's story or if I read this one differently, but the jumping between characters really worked well. I wasn't feeling tossed around and the overall pace of the story continued even when bouncing between stories. I loved how Butcher took the three stories of Joseph and Lyka, Ronan and Justice, and Eric to balance out the story lines while also pushing the plot further.
I also really love the addition of the Slayers. I have so many questions about them and my heart aches for Eric, but it leaves me excited for the next books and how everything will play out.

Full review pending.
3.5/5 - a good one, sorry to see the series come to an end with the next book.

Some interesting overarching plot developments in this one. Also some truly yuck moments - poor Eric. I do wish the ending had been less abrupt.

I've wanted to read a Shannon K. Butcher book for a long time.
I went into this book completely blind and was pleasantly surprised by what I found. I devoured the entire book in less than a day and I was sad when I turned the last page.
Joseph and Lyka are a fantastic couple - their chemistry was lovely at the start and it just got better as time went on. Lyka did get on my nerves a tiny bit, but it wasn't enough to take away from the book. I loved Joseph, though. He was by far my favorite of the entire cast - I wish there was more from his perspective, to be honest.
I heartily enjoyed this book and I will certainly be adding more of this series to my collection.
I received this book for free through Goodreads First Reads.

Continues to be a series that interests me. Something about the sex that Butcher writes bothers me, though.

Esta historia me gustó mucho. Y eso que está llena de los mismos clichés que las otras. Pero funciona: heroína reticente y macho posesivo tienen una misión de rescate.
En este caso, la reticencia de Lyka tenía que ver con ser mestiza y no conocer su lugar. Es interesante cómo la autora se da maña para contarnos la misma historia una y otra vez, pero de diferentes maneras.
¿Qué pasará con el bebé de Eric y la reina demonio?
