I never thought I'd be singing happy birthday to myself in a dungeon. And yet when a sinfully sexy demon crashes happy hour, that's exactly what happens. He's known as the Lord of Chaos, he's mistaken me for my succubus doppelgänger. Happy birthday to me. When he tastes my blood, he finally understands I'm mortal. And I realize we have something in common: we both crave revenge. So we make a deal: I can stay in the forbidden city to hunt for my mom's killer. In return, I'll help him get the vengeance he craves. I just have to pose as a sexy succubus. One problem--he's my number one suspect. And that's increasingly hard to remember as he teaches me my role: seduction. With each heated touch I drift further into peril. And if I fall under his seductive spell, death awaits me. "I flew through this book... Hot demon lord-check. Action-check. Romance-check. And there's spice! If you love my books, you definitely want to read this one." -Laura Thalassa

Tenía muchas ganas de leer este libro, no me esperaba grandes cosas pero me ha gustado mucho, los protas, los misterios... Se me ha hecho corto, creo que se podían aprovechado mucho más el tema de la seducción. Pero es un libro muy cortito que está muy bien para un bloqueo lector si necesitas algo de fantasía light. Me recuerda mucho a The Bargainer. Y me gusta el mundo creado por la autora, los demonios, el tema de los sins, de los poderes, el tema de la psicología. Muy guay. Podría estar mejor, sí. Pero cumple con lo que promete. Espero más
I've been seeing this book around for a while, and I finally got around to giving it a read. It was good and I enjoyed it. It gave me things I like about fantasy with out having a super complex world. This story follows Rowan, a mortal college student with some unique fears. She is approached by The Lord of Chaos one night while out, and she is mistaken as a demon from his past. Things happen and secrets unfold, and the way the book ends, I'm already wanting to check out book two. There is a ton of sexual tension with a small bit of pay-off. I found some of the dialogue kind of cheesy, and some of the story felt like it was underdeveloped. I think (and hope) that we will get more development in the second book. I was between a 3 and a 4 star here, but it scratched an itch I had, so it got bonus points. Overall a good and easy read, and I'm intrigued by what we will learn in the next book. This is an adult fantasy, 18+ for sexual content and language.
DNF at 60% because I didn't care what happened to the characters.
The female main character is sort of annoying. She keeps talking about how sexy the demon is and how she wants to have sex with him. It's like a poorly done enemies to lovers. Just wasn't invested in the characters at all.
