Goodreads Summary
This novel was jam-packed with action, steamy romance scenes (in a few places), and intrigue. I knew that the plot was going to include fight scenes, but I had no idea how many! It was almost a bombardment of fight scenes and they were very detailed. The story is mainly told from Emma's point of view. I did like getting to know her character better. There were so many secondary characters introduced in the first one hundred pages that I did initially have trouble keeping track of them. Emma is still worried about her son (and for good reason! Who would want her son "babysat/kidnapped" by a demon!). There aren't just fight scenes; Emma ends up married once...or twice...and I still don't know how the author fit in such a good romance plot in this book, but she managed!
I enjoyed Emma's character for the most part. During some of the book, Emma wasn't even really "present" mentally. She seemed out of it and not a huge part of the plot. In parts, the secondary characters took over. I did like how they played into the plot, but I was hoping that Emma would take center stage. To be perfectly honest, the ending was a little disappointing, but not to the point where I wouldn't pick up this series and give it another try.
