This book started off with a bang, and the premise was good for the first few chapters. Around the 10th chapter i gave up as it started getting wierd and "churchy"
From what I did get out of the book was we meet Allay, who became a 1/2 human 1/2 demon when she was a teenager. Apparently she stumbled upon a dying demon named Plea and got her essence by simply touching her. Now Allay feeds off peoples' emotions, specifically "relief" She has a demon friend, named Shock, who works in the ER trauma unit. She feeds off peoples' shock emotions. Anyways, Shock shows up at her bar and births a new demon whom they called Petrify. Apparently the Demons must kill or take another demon every 200 years in order to stay alive. So basically they overdose on emoptions and create a new demon.
Anyhow, then another demon named Pique attacks Allay in front of her bar, and a man named Theo comes to her rescue. Then Shock is attacked twice while shes recovering inside Allays' apartment over the bar. So they decide to take Shock to her creator named Revel. After that they end up going to see Dread, who is second demon in command to VEX and GLORY. After that, things got wierd. It was like they were in a church or something, and the story line lost me.
Like I said, it started off good, but I got lost and gave up. I did however like the character named Savor. Apparently these demons can change their appearances at will and wear different "personas" which I thought was kind of neat too.
