You couldn't pry this book from my cold lifeless body. I found myself raging with the warriors, crying at their losses, and falling in love over and over despite their bitter turmoil with their inner demons which possess them.
Ashlyn is a girl with the unique ability to hear words that were spoken in a room, no matter when they had taken place. She begins this story searching for any help or relief from this curse which leads her to a fortress in Budapest rumored to hold angel or demons. Maddox is an immortal warrior doomed to carry the demon of Violence merged with his soul trapped and cursed in solitude within the fortress. Outside forces (Hunters) seek to trap the demons and rid the world of Violence, Disease, Wrath, etcthe brother warriors of Violence. Together Ashlyn and Maddox discover how much they really need one another.
The story was griping enough to keep me turning the pages (fast). I did not completely buy the subplot of this story (which carries to the next book I presume), but I didnt care. I loved being wrapped up with the passion between Maddox and Ashlyn. Foreplay yummie-ness, with a possessive glazed twist. Although I think I expected much more from the demon of Violence, and a much much darker path, I was ok with the gentle character decisions of Showalter. I cant wait for the next!
