The main character, Meriwether Storm (Meri), is a daemon summoner a trait she inherited from her parents. She is good at what she does and earns living from it. She is on a quest for revenge, searching for the daemon that was responsible for her parents’ deaths. She is a strong-willed, self-reliant, no-nonsense woman who does not take crap from anyone. Meri had few friends and she did not trust any of the daemons she summoned. Her trust issues were put to the test when she was approached by a daemon cabal with a potential job offer with the reward being the name of the daemon that was responsible for her parents’ death. This was further complicated when she found herself being attracted to one of these daemons. Due to her desire for revenge being greater than her lack of trust for daemons she accepted the terms which resulted in some major changes in her life. We see Meri becoming less self-reliant as she realized that working on your own is not always best.
The love scenes were hot but tasteful. The summoning scenes were bit unnerving and left me a bit skittish. The story was a bit confusing in the beginning as it kept switching between the present and the past, however after a while it became clear and easy to follow. It’s engaging and very difficult to put down. The ending of the story indicated that this was the beginning of a series which I am looking forward to reading.
This is a great read for lovers of paranormal romance.
