I really liked the other Immortals books. I even liked the other Joy Nash book. This one was not so great. The beginning was promising, but I think the author spent way too much time in her description of Hell and too little time developing the characters. Not to be funny, but slogging through Hell with these two was pure torture ...haha.

I'm afraid I never really cared for the heroine. She was too deceitful and hard-assed. In one scene, the fey council destroyed the stone she was using to collect life essence to trade to a demon for her sons soul. In my mind, I could imagine I would have fallen to my knees grieving and wailing and telling them they had doomed my child (maybe I am overly dramatic), but the heroine stands stoically almost coldly planning her net move. It was also hard to reconcile the Mac described in this book with the mischievous, puckish, almost childish demi-god that was introduced in the previous books.

To top it off, the sex between these too was pretty luke-warm. Almost like the author was required to put two sex scenes in the book so she just kinda did it to meet the requirements. In one instance the couple has sex in the lowest level of Hell, amazingly without anyone including the devil knowing or bothering them. I just dont think I could concentrate, much less fall asleep as these two supposedly do! Maybe they should have let this series end with #5.
