I've enjoyed the previous books in the series, but I found this one very tiresome. I disliked the heroine throughout the whole book, and though I didn't dislike the hero, I didn't strongly like him either. Since nearly everyone understands sarcasm, not being able to say things straightforwardly is a pretty tame curse compared to some of the other demons. That probably made me a little less empathetic to his plight. Most of the story though was taken up by the heroine being spiteful or trying to get away from the hero, and him having to jump through hoops and chase her. The reason for her animosity toward him is problematic nearly from the start as well, so she just hardly had a leg to stand on. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

I loved all the scenes with Amun, Aeron and William. They traveled to Hell to rescue Legion and the blood, fights and torture they experienced, especially in poor Amun’s case, was riveting to read. We also learn a little about William, things he doesn’t want anyone to know.
Strider meets Haidee, a now-immortal woman who killed a Lord a few thousand years ago, and his arrogance irritated me. Strider is the keeper of Defeat and has to win at everything, but he made a mistake in arresting/kidnapping Haidee and he lost one of the artifacts to the Unspoken Ones.
We didn’t see Maddox and Paris in this story. Maddox is too busy taking care of his pregnant wife, Ashlyn, which is annoying because he’s not a kickass warrior as he used to be. Paris just wasn’t around, which means he’s off page getting drunk on ambrosia (though there was one scene with Sienna – yippee!).
There was waaaay too much sex in this book, at least four long scenes, and I skimmed them all. I don’t think the book dragged but I did get sick of hearing Scarlet’s reasons about why she and Gideon couldn’t stay together. I understand her reasoning, but it was repetitive. As I’ve said before with my reviews to the other books in the series, I’m not crazy about the author’s writing style but this story is superb despite my preferences. Great characters, lots of character development for the H/h and the minor characters (for the ones mentioned in the story), and great description that fit the story without bogging it down.
