One son of Lucifer, one archangel, and one human. What could possibly go wrong? Well. A lot. Mostly because there seems to be a plan to overthrow Lucifer in Hell, and the demons behind this plan think they need to take the sons of Lucifer and their mates off the playing field in order to make that happen. But a prophecy about a demon, an angel, and a human could be the answer to all of that. 

Dagon (demon) and Dimitri (angel) have history. A thousand years worth of history. They know they're mates, but they could never quite get it to work out the way they wanted to. And then they meet Lucky (human). 

Lucky does not feel so lucky. He's not led the easiest life, and now someone is after him. Dagon and Dimitri would do anything to protect him - if only they could figure out who Lucky seems to be in danger from. But first, they have to slowly woo their mate, and earn his trust in order to move forward, which is no easy feat. 

There are bumps and bruises along the road, and a couple major setbacks, but the three of them get there. Mostly through stubbornness, but they get there. And once they do, they all understand that the key to their relationship working out for the better is open and honest communication. About everything - their pasts, their fears, their insecurities, and even their hopes. 

As their final showdown with Lucifer looms near, it becomes more apparent that Lucifer doesn't want to kill his sons - he wants to control them. And the best way to do that is through their mates. But, as any narcissist with an over-inflated ego does, he underestimates everyone involved. And there are few things I love more than watching pompous asshats lose everything. 

This series was truly a massive rollercoaster of emotions from start to finish. We ran the whole spectrum of feelings through these four books. But it was well worth it, because I adore this series. I feel hard for the characters, and knowing that there's another series set in the same universe makes me so immensely happy. I can't wait to see where we end up, and who we meet along the way.
