WARNING; This book is full of erotic scenes.
I was asked to read and review this book. Let me make it clear that I do not usually read and review books that are erotic in nature. I was not aware of this at the time I agreed to read and review the book. I will not be reading any more in the series for this reason.
This was a hard book for me to review. The writing itself is good. There is a great plotline, the world-building is awesome. The story is reminiscent of Greek or Egyptian Gods. In Greek mythology we often find the Gods playing with the lives of the humans as if it was all a game. The characters, most who fall into the category of Heavenly Gods, or Demon Gods took on characteristics that reminded me of Egyptian gods. You had a combination of characters you would not expect such as Trolls, Ogres, Werecats, etc. Of course you have the humans within as well.
The story opens with a young girl being hidden by her sister before she sees her violated and killed. She then sees her mother and younger brother burned alive in their house. The demon gods destroy everything they can. This young girl is saved by a heavenly god who saves her to teacher her to fight and bring vengeance on those who destroyed her village. Like I said the story line was great. What I didn't enjoy and skipped over was all the erotic scenes. I felt like the story would have been great if not for all of that. This is the first book in a series. No matter how great the story line I will not be reading the rest due the the sexual nature. I leave that decision up to other readers.
