This was a long book, but never slow or boring. A LOT goes on in this story, the "sin fever" is reaching epidemic proportions. Which in turn, has started a warg war between the born wargs and the turned wargs. As Sin tries to find the cure, she deals with her "baggage" and emotions with the help of Con. Luc, Con's paramedic partner has his own story going on, along with all the Seminus brothers. Plus we get a sneak peak into the spin-off series Ione is creating which will debut next year. There is really too much going on in this story to explain, but in true Ione fashion you will not be disappointed.

Sin, the only female Seminus demon to exist in the history of demonkind, is having a pretty bad year. She was ordered to perform a hit on a werewolf, but instead caused a worldwide epidemic, effecting both born and turned wargs. Con's, a dhampire, that is a vampire that must be turned into a warg at his maturation or he dies, year isn't going too good either. He was informed by his Alpha that he must return to his pack and never leave again to ensure the continuation of the dhampire race. Con, however, is in love with Sin and would do anything to protect her, including helping her run from all the wargs trying to kill her.

Sin Undone is by far the best book in the Demonica series, and a great way to end it. The writing was superb, it was jam-packed with action, and the steamy scenes were, well, steamy. I cannot wait to read her next series, which also takes place in the Demonica world and deals with a character introduced in this books.

Master Assassin Sinead Donnelly can use her abilities to create disease in her enemies. But something goes awry when she creates a virus that is killing werewolves. Con is a half-werewolf, half-vampire paramedic who works at Underground General Hospital. When the jailors of the Underworld come to arrest Sin, Con steps in to save her. Together they work to find a cure for the lethal virus while staying ahead of the jailors, vengeful werewolves, and Sin's own assassins who want her job.

The 5th book in the Demonica series is a great addition with many story threads. Sin is a tormented character with trust and abandonment issues. She's sorry for the havoc she has caused by creating the virus and wants to help stop all of the deaths. Con is very much like her with issues of his own, including addiction. They are an appealing couple who understand and grow to love each other. All of the characters from the previous books play a part in this story. There is also a an introduction of a new character who will lead us into Larissa Ione's next series. I hope that series is as good as this one. My rating: 4.5 Stars.

I'll be the wet blanket. I had to make myself finish the book. It has a long, convoluted plot about a disease created by Sin (the heroine), which attacks turned wargs, but can jump species as well. The hero is likable. The heroine not so much. She's supposed to be this badass, but is whiny so much of the time. The sex felt mechanical because I just didn't feel any connection between the two. The love story is just a rehash of what we've seen in other books. They each have secrets, lots of misunderstanding and angst to resolve. The plot just dragged on and on. The author does a lot of information dumping, which took me right out of the story. While the demon world of Sheoul sounds interesting, it seems in each book, she creates new species that inhabit the realm. The who does what, has what powers, is susceptible to what, took me out of the story as well. The constant updates on what previous characters in the series are now doing bored me too. This book isn't a keeper.

Paranormal romance, by Larissa Ione, and Book 5 of the Demonica series. Half-breed succubus demon/human, Sin, is responsible for a epidemic killing werewolves. So, between running the Assassin's Guild and trying to help finding a cure to the disease, and trying to avoid her own assassination, Sin is very busy. The weres are building up to war against each other. Half were/vampire Con tries to keep Sin alive, at least until a cure for his people are found. Used to depending on no one else, Sin has problems trusting her brothers, and Con. This book has lots of action, double-dealing, and romance. Pretty good addition to the series.

The last book in the Demonica series. Sin has created a fever that is killing wargs. She teams up with her brothers and paramedic, Con to find a cure. Sin and Con's relationship is one of the most difficult of this series. Good story line and good end to series. 4.5 stars

The best in the series by far! I've liked Larissa Ione since the beginning, and can't wait for more. I'm excited about the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse! Highly recommended.

I loved this book. It was a great way to wrap up everything in the series, and answer all the questions I had brewing in my mind. I kept wondering what had Sin gone through, what would happen to Luc, etc. It was fast paced and kept me very entertained. I was never bored with this book!

I have liked all of this series, Just started on the Lords of Deliverance, related but about the Four Horseman referenced in this book.

Sin an Con just seem born to be together and I loved the conclusion of this series. It ties up the loose ends and eludes to new ones with the Four Horsemen.

This was another great Demonica book. I have really fallen for the whole world Ione created. All of the demon brothers and now Sin too, the UG, and now the horsemen of the apocalypse? Looking at the next spin off book, it looks like it goes in the horsemen direction. I am curious about them, so I will definitely read The Eternal Rider.

Okay...so for the most part, this, like the rest of the demonica series was an awesome read...not the best, at least not IMO, but great none the less....plenty of action ( both kinds) an over arching story that while ends well, and also sets up LI's next series ( the four horsemen) at the same time.

I only had one issue, and that's that this end the way most typical romances do...marriage (well okay, mating) and babies....seriously? While I don't have  much of an issue with the mating bit (I do love PNR's after all, and they're sorta par for the course)   the fact that all the characters end with having babies ( or the promise of babies) annoys me... 

What makes it more aggravating, is that I just finished the first three of Sydney croft ( LI and Stephanie Tyler) acro books, and they end the same way... With HEA's based on the the promise of babies... 

As someone who doesn't even know if she wants children, I can't help but be both aggravated and a tad bit offended by the implication that  HEA's require repro-freakin-duction...  If even one character...hell even a minor character, who we barely even saw, if just one of them made the choice not to have kids at all, I'd have been okay with it...but almost every " good" guy wanted a baby...and maybe i'm taking things too seriously, but I can't stop being annoyed by that fact...and because of that I can't give this anything higher then 3 starts despite LI's amazing talent of story weaving.


Additionally, and this wasn't a  book killer for me, but wanted to mention it:  another review pointed this out....there are no gay demons....it was very surprising and not a little disappointing to realize this was true! 


But like I said it's a good book,  great ending to the Demonica books, despite my own issues with it, And I can't wait to read LiI's next series.

Could have done without tht M/M crap, but since it only took place in such a small portion of the book, and since the book was really good... I still gave it 5 stars. I liked this story the best. It took awhile for the H and h to really get into their chemistry, but once they did, it was intense! This author reminds me of J.R. Ward.
