Week 42 Reviews: The Demonica Compendium, Pleasure Unbound, Desire Unchained



A compendium of the demons, the hospital, and the key players in the Demonica World.

Also contains the short story "The Reckoning."

From Goodreads:
In a place where ecstasy can cost you your life . . . 

She's a demon-slayer who hungers for sensual pleasure-but fears it will always be denied her. Until Tayla Mancuso lands in a hospital run by demons in disguise, and the head doctor, Eidolon, makes her body burn with unslakable desire. But to prove her ultimate loyalty to her peers, she must betray the surgeon who saved her life. 

Two lovers will dare to risk all.

Eidolon cannot resist this fiery, dangerous woman who fills him with both rage and passion. Not only is she his avowed enemy, but she could very well be the hunter who has been preying upon his people. Torn between his need for the truth and his quest to find his perfect mate before a horrific transformation claims him forever, Eidolon will dare the unthinkable-and let Tayla possess him, body and soul . . .

From Goodreads:
Pleasure is their ultimate weapon . . . 

Runa Wagner never meant to fall in love with the sexy stranger who seemed to know her every deepest desire. But she couldn't resist the unbelievable passion that burned between them, a passion that died when she discovered his betrayal and found herself forever changed. Now, determined to make Shade pay for the transformation that haunts her, Runa searches for him, only to be taken prisoner by his darkest enemy. 

A Seminus Demon with a love-curse that threatens him with eternal torment, Shade hoped he'd seen the last of Runa and her irresistible charm. But when he wakes up in a dank dungeon chained next to an enraged and mysteriously powerful Runa, he realizes that her effect on him is more dangerous than ever. As their captor casts a spell that bonds them as lifemates, Shade and Runa must fight for their lives and their hearts-or succumb to a madman's evil plans. 

My first review of Pleasure Unbound, Desire Unchained
My Review:
Yeah, it was so great to read these books again! It's been so long, and yeah, I had to, since Reaper just came out, and it's going to change the world, and have things set up for the next generation of characters to have their series, and so I just had to go back and reread in preparation for all of that!

I kinda remembered what happened in these books, that Lori was a bad guy, that Roag was alive and behind things. But I forgot most of what happened in these books, which is why I wanted to reread them. Plus, they're just really great reads!

Both of these couples have pretty big problems between them. Tayla is a member of Aegis, who hunt demons. Eidolon is a demon. Yeah. That goes together well! And Shade and Runa were dating, but it ended badly, and then unbeknownst to him, she was attacked and made into a warg. Yeah. Lots of complications!

I love how things work out, even when they seem like things would never would. These people are strong and resourceful, and the world that they inhabit it just so incredible to read, and I just enjoyed going on this adventures with them!

Loved reading these so, so much, they're so fantastic, and I can't wait to reread more!
