Nadz@Totally Addicted to Reading

At first I was a bit wary about reading this title as I just could not imagine how the author would be able to portray the ruler of hell as someone who is capable of love. Well, I must admit she did a great job. While reading I had to keep reminding myself that this was fantasy and there was nothing realistic about the story. This just shows Ms. Heaton’s uncanny ability to pull her readers into her stories causing them to feel as if they are actually living in the world she has created.
The way in which Lucifer is portrayed bears no similarities to what we know about him from biblical events. He portrayed himself as being cold and emotionless to his followers and his enemies, but when it came to his daughter and grandson it was a whole different story. His main focus was getting revenge against his former master and had no intention to allow anything to derail his plans. Well, this would all change when Nina was dumped on his doorstep. Now this is where things become very interesting.
Nina, a mere mortal is able to do what no one else has been able to do for centuries. She was able to breakdown Lucifer’s barriers causing him to experience emotions that he thought had been dead and buried. It was quite entertaining to see the ruler of hell being totally taken in by a mere slip of a woman. There were so many things to love about this story. The characters and the story line were all good. I was held captive the whole time and could not wait to find out what Nina’s reaction would be when she found out Lucifer’s real identity. Nina was able to connect with Lucifer as she herself has a dark side. It may not be as dark as Lucifer’s but it was enough for them to connect on a deep level. The story moved along at a great pace and as usual the love scenes were hot and sizzling and the action was tense and exciting. There were moments I found myself smiling at some of Lucifer’s actions. It was actually quite funny.
Although I enjoyed this installment, there were questions that arose where no answer was provided. For instance, how was the situation with Nina’s ex-husband dealt with? Would he not be curious as to her sudden disappearance in light of the fact that he wanted to get back with her?
Overall, this was a fun read. It should be noted that this is not suitable for readers under 18 years of age due to the explicit sexual content.
