This review is from: Demon's Kiss (Compact of Sorcerors, Book 1) (Mass Market Paperback)

I guess I'm not so hot to trot for this story. Main reason: it moved very sloooow and most of the dialogue happened in the heads of the characters. Not much "talking" to each other in this book and that distracted me totally from the story. I guess that's how this author writes her stories and some like it and some don't. I don't and I won't get any future books by this author.

This review is from: Demon's Kiss (Compact of Sorcerors, Book 1) (Mass Market Paperback)

I loved this book! Ciarran, a sorcerer, battles demons and protects mortals. In a confrontation, he is almost forced through a portal into the demon world. He manages to escape, but in the process, a demon becomes part of him, and from that day forward he has to battle evil within himself. His romance with Clea is totally HOT! They are both wonderful characters with terrific chemistry together. The story explores how they can be together when Clea appears to be draining his power; and how can he stay with her anyway when he is part demon? And that part is getting stronger all the time. Great read!

This review is from: Demon's Kiss (Compact of Sorcerors, Book 1) (Mass Market Paperback)

In this paranormal romance, Clea Masters first met Ciarran, a member of The Compact of Sorcerers, the night her parents were killed. Ciarran's job is to guard the wall between the human and demon realms. Clea was attacked by a demon and near death, when Ciarran tried to help her. She reached out to him and accidentally stole some of his powers. Clea's siphoning of Ciarran's powers caused his hand being pushed into the demon realm, resulting in him having some demon in him now.

Twenty years later, Ciarran is there to rescue Clea once again. Clea is now all grown up and has no recollection of ever meeting Ciarran as a child. She isn't even aware of having powers herself. When the two of them reunite, there is a strong connection because of their shared powers.

An evil demon has discovered that Clea is the key to opening the demon realm. If they can capture Clea, the realm will be open for them to come into our world and cause devastating destruction.

Ciarran offers to guard Clea and keep her safe from the demons that are after her. The only problem is, whenever they are near each other, she unknowingly steals his powers, draining him of them. Will the demon find Clea and open the demon realm? Will Ciarran be able to keep Clea safe or will their passion for each other drain him of all his powers?

I absolutely loved reading Demon's Kiss. Eve Silver has created an extraordinary world in this book. Sorcerers, demons, magic, and hot romance makes for a fascinating book that you won't be able to put down. The fight scenes are suspenseful, the villains are true evil, the romance is sexy, and the characters are unique. I will definitely read more books by Eve Silver and will eagerly await the next book in this new series.

Armchair Interviews says: Curl up in your favorite chair, and escape into this paranormal romance that will take you away into another world.
