Serena Kelley es una arqueóloga, una caza tesoros... y una mujer que esconde un secreto. Desde que tenía siete años es la encargada de guardar un poderoso hechizo que consigue que tenga una salud de hierro y que le ha concedido la inmortalidad... siempre y cuando permanezca virgen. Pero Serena ya no es tan inocente como lo era antes, y cuando un peligroso y apuesto extraño consigue llevarle al límite del éxtasis, empieza a preguntarse si por fin ha conocido al hombre al que será incapaz de resistirse.
Wraith es un demonio seminus ansioso por matar a cualquiera que ose desafiarle. Pero cuando un antiguo enemigo lo envenena, deberá encontrar a Serena y persuadirla para que le dé el único antídoto capaz de salvarle... el hechizo que ésta custodia. Y así, a medida que Serena comienza a sucumbir a su seducción y Wraith ve como la cura está cada vez más al alcance de sus manos, se da cuenta de una horrible verdad: se está enamorando de la mujer cuya vida deberá sacrificar para salvar la suya propia.

Loving this series. Longer review later after I bake some cookies. ( )

I'm totally loving the Demonica series. Larissa Ione writes with really creative world-building and awesome connection between her characters. I love the conflict brought up in each book and also the family connection between the Sem brothers. In this third book, Wraith is featured, and he has to figure out a way to get a charm away from Serena. The charm prevents the person who possesses it from being killed or dying, and the conflict is intense because Wraith has been cursed, so he's dying, and Serena had been given the charm in the firs place because SHE was dying. So, the only way to save himself is to kill her (which frankly, was the only part of the plot that sort of icked me out.)

Wraith gets to be his usual vampire self, has lots of conflict with his brothers, and eventually he and Serena have to figure things out. I enjoyed this one, even if it was a little strange seeing Serena call Wraith "Josh" for most of the book, and the part about having to take her virginity/charm to save himself meant killing her kind of made Wraith less heroic in my eyes. But for the most part, it was enjoyable. I always enjoy Ione's writing. 4.5/5 stars

Please excuse typos/name misspellings. Entered on screen reader. ( )

A fair amount of adventure, some road trip elements. A bad boy demon/vampire hero out to seduce a sheltered but likeable human heroine, with the fate of the world hanging in the balance. *shrug* =D I wasn't all emotionally caught up, but I was curious how things would play out. ( )

1,75 stars for that 15% of the book where I was looking for a nice plot and information about the world.
The rest was just sex, from the first to the last sentence.

You might ask yourself why I am even reading this. Well, years ago I read the lords of deliverance series and I loved it. So I wanted to know the events that led to that series and the background of the secondary characters. That's why. Now I am not even sure if I should waste my time going through books 4 and 5. Btw, I even bought all the series in paper copy and I feel sorry to give away those books without even read them. ( )
