Week 49 Review: Bond of Passion

From Goodreads:

He was an assassin. She was his lover.

And his victim.

Now, years later, she's back from the dead and looking for vengeance.

Thanks to an unexpected and fortuitous disaster, Tavin's contract with the underworld's Assassin Guild was broken decades early. But instead of freedom, he's suffocated by guilt and regret. In many ways, he's more trapped than he was before. In an attempt to numb his pain, he works at Underworld General Hospital, saving people instead of killing them. But nothing can diminish the memory of assassinating the female he loved…not even the knowledge that he'd done it to spare her an even worse fate.

Deja remembers all of her dozens of former lives, and she knows that she only found love in one of them…until her lover murdered her. As a soul locked inside the nightmarish boundaries of demon hell, she stewed in hatred until a single, fateful event gave her one more shot at life.

And at revenge.

Now another specter from the past is threatening them both. Can two damaged people overcome their history to save not only themselves, but a second chance at love?

My Review:
Yeah, another fantastic book in this series! I love this series and this world so much, these characters are near and dear, and I love exploring more of this world! And this particular couple, their circumstances were something I couldn't look away from! 

This book delves more into the consequences of the fact that Sheoul-gra was destroyed, and all those souls were let loose. That Deja was one of them-and that Tavin killed her even though they were lovers...yeah, that was such a fantastic concept! 

Part of this story was explanation, because there was more to it then she knew. Part of it was is forgiveness for what had been done. Not that he knew that this was her, because she came back as a different breed of demon, one related to what she had been before she was killed. Loved how that played into the story! 

There's been hints and mentions that there'll be a spin off series, or a continuation, but in the future, with the Sem sons, and the Horsemen daughters. And now it's something that's been mentioned in world! That's something that I'm really interested in, because we've seen their parents love stories, and seen snippets of their childhoods. It'd be such interesting dynamics, as well as wonderful to continue to explore this world!

Absolutely loved reading this book, and I can't wait for more!
