Natalie Sugarman knows she's living on borrowed time. After bartering her soul with a little demon boy to save her mother's life, she knows with her approaching twenty-first birthday everything is about to change. What she doesn't understand are the images the little demon boy keeps sending her each time their paths cross. What she doesn't realize is the new guy at school, the one who isn't turned off by her freakishness and likes her for who she is, is so much more than she could have ever imagined.
I loved the story. I loved how a five year old girl battered for her mother's life. I loved how Rick Steele showed Natalie how she was so much more than the freaky goth girl everyone thought she was and she should be no one's dirty little secret. But most of all, I loved the story of how Rick became what he was and what he's done all in the name of true love.
I'm interested to see what could happen next. It was left with an ending the begs for a second book (or maybe more). You can't leave us wondering what will happen with Natalie and Rick. What Stew finds as he goes off in search of his mother. And more importantly, what is going to happen with Lilim now that Rick and Natalie are together. Inquiring minds want to know! Hopefully Michelle Valentines hears my pleas and gives us some more Demon books.
