Knox and Harper's story continues as the Las Vegas lair - and its two infamous Co-Primes - face their most terrifying enemy yet ...Together, Harper and Knox have overcome just about every evil thing you can think of - from Horsemen of the Apocalypse to dark magic practitioners to Lucifer's insistent belief that he's hilarious. They're looking forward to some well-earned downtime - until Harper is attacked by mercenaries in the middle of her tattoo shop. Worse still, the attackers are trying to take her wings - the ones no one is meant to know she even has. It's a near miss and once a furious Knox has managed to pull his demon back into line there's only one thing clear - someone knows Harper's secrets and is systematically setting out to destroy her. It seems likely that someone is the third Horseman - but how do they know so much about Harper? It seems the impossible might be true - they have an enemy hiding at the very heart of the lair. To survive Harper will need to embrace power that's darker than she's ever experienced and even Knox can't protect her from everything - though God knows nothing's going to stop him trying.
The stakes have never been higher, for if Harper's taken by this new threat, Knox won't be able to stop his demon from taking a vicious pleasure in tearing the world apart ...
I might have liked this more than the second one, because my expectations was different. It still has many of the same problems the other books did, but they felt a bit less, so I liked it better. Maybe I was just expecting it. Harper and Knox are still awesome, both are to die for in their own ways and definitely on the list of my favorite couples. The side characters are still awesome and I can't wait to read more about them, since it's already pretty clear who will be paired of and there is honestly not a single character that I wouldn't enjoy getting to know better.
The plot was actually better this time I felt. I especially liked how this time, the ending actually took some time, instead of them kind of snapping their fingers and obliterating their enemy. Still was too fast for my taste, but oh well.
The thing I disliked the most was how long the retellings and recapings of earlier books took. Maybe it wasn't as bad if you read them when they came out, but since I am reading them back to back, it get's tiresome. Still, a very solid installment in a really good series.
