To kick off the New Year, here is a great book to start with:
Raising Hell has a voice that speaks to my inner artist. The sheer elegance of how Julie Kenner describes the process of painting, the main character's "trick," brings the imagery to life while using well placed realistic scenes to capture the readers imagination. It's not hard to envision anything in this book, which is what makes it so wonderful to read.
Of course, from a purely erotica standpoint, this book doesn't disappoint. Barely into the first chapter the reader is captured by a very quick foursome that manages to give just a little tease that promises more for later, but also gives some insight into Nick (Son of the Devil) -- making him a very fleshed out, sympathetic character. It's hard to stop reading, and being a quicker book it's something that will have you reading it all in one sitting. The good news: there's more in the series. As a collaborative effort, two authors have banded together to bring the masses a sexy series revolving around the sons of hell, with actual plots riddled with some steamy sex.
And I can't forget to mention Delilah, daughter of a priest and the whole premise behind Raising Hell. A simple seduction tale with the twist of a soul being stolen in the process. A romantic plot with the main question: Will Nick be able to steal Delilah's soul and capture her beauty in paint, or will he defy the devil himself and risk his life. Be prepared for some swooning moments during the highs and lows.
The experiences of ups and downs as Nick watches the woman he desires go through a dramatic change (his fault of course) is possibly one of the best parts about this book. The sex laced with the wild side peaking through is intense, and something that will surely have you wanting to read more to find out the end.
As I've only had a chance to read Raising Hell thus far, I will be sure to post further reviews on the rest of the series as I get to them. I'm eager to see the fruit born from the collaboration of these authors. The first one is worth checking out and will have you possibly looking for a change of undergarments, while simultaneously looking to purchase the next book.
