As part of a book tour for Larissa Ione through Hachette Book Group, Grand Central Publishing I received my second book in the Demonica series. My review of Ecstasy Unveiled can be found here.
Sin Undone
As the only female Seminus demon ever born, master assassin Sinead Donnelly is used to being treated like an outcast. She spent decades enslaved, and now vows she'll die before she'll relinquish her freedom again. Then Sin's innate ability to kill her enemies goes awry: She creates a lethal new werewolf virus that sparks a firestorm of panic and violence.
Half-werewolf, half-vampire Conall Dearghul is charged with bringing in Sin to face punishment for the plague. And she's no stranger: He's bound to her by blood, and the one sexual encounter they shared has left him hungering for her raw sensuality. Worse, Sin is the underworld's most wanted and Con soon learns he's the only one who can help her . . . and that saving her life might mean sacrificing his own.
| What I Can Tell You: When you put demons together love and hate are bound to be a big part of the storyline. Con and Sin were introduced in Ecstasy Unveiled which is exactly were Sin Undone takes off. Con and Sin are sexy together. Sin has created a lethal werewolf virus that is killing of the werewolfs and now that the werewolve's Warg Council knows, she is in grave danger. Con is a vampire-werewolf or a dhampire who now has the virus. To eradicate the virus he must drink from Sin! If he drinks too much it can kill them both. When Sin is arrested by the council, Con rescues her and together they flee. The storyline is superb. The characters are witty, fun, sexy, and unique. I am always amazed by writers that can literally create an entire world within the pages of their books. Just like Escasty Unveiled, the sex scenes in Sin Undone are quite, um..."white" hot! There is a lot of snow involved in this story and snow, will be used! Larissa Ione writes some juicy demonic erotica. I am sad to hear that the series is over but what an ending! I look forward to all upcoming books by Larissa. |
Excerpt“Come here.” Con's voice was low and rough, and Sin swung around, her furious glare burning a hole right through him.
“Screw you.”
“Been there, done that,” he growled. “Now, come here.”
She shot him the bird and started toward the door. “I don’t respond well to orders.”
He was up in a flash, the tube of blood dangling from his arm, and he had her backed against the wall. “Then what do you respond to, little demon? Because right now, I’ve got a mind to turn you over my knee and spank the spoiled hell out of you and see how you respond to that.” Her gasp of outrage was a bright spot in his otherwise shitty day. “Oh, yeah,” he purred, as he wedged his thigh between hers, “you do respond to me. You responded very well to what I spilled inside you.”
When she’d told him couldn’t climax until her partner came first, he’d been surprised. And then he’d made her come. Hard. He could still hear the sound of her panting breaths, could still feel her tight inner muscles clamped around him—
She struck out, but before her fist could knock loose a few of his teeth, she hissed and grabbed her head with both hands as the pain from the anti-violence enchantment that protected the hospital kicked in. She and her siblings were immune, but only if they fought with each other.
“Forgot about the Haven spell, huh?”
“I hate you,” she rasped, and why that made him smile, he had no idea.
More gently than she deserved, he peeled her bleeding hand away from her head and swiped his tongue over the needle puncture. God, she tasted decadent, with a bite like fine brandy, and he couldn’t help but let his tongue linger on her skin. She went taut, slowly releasing her head with her other hand.
Beneath his fingers, the pulse in her wrist pounded, matching his beat for crazy beat. The air between them crackled with sudden heat, and his hips surged as he pressed his palm to her delicate throat, wanting to absorb the sensation of her lifeblood flowing under both his hands.
Ah…damn. Power swamped him as though he’d completed a circuit. She was life. She was death. She was the most dangerous female he’d ever met, and if he was smart, he’d run like hell.
Licking her lips, Sin took a deep, shuddering breath that ended with, “Release me.”
Right now, that was the last thing he wanted to do, but he’d made his point. She might hate him, but she wanted him. How familiar that sounded. Head a little fuzzy and still feeling the buzz of her blood inside his veins, he stepped back, but she surprised him when she caught his wrist.
Her dermoire lit up, and heat spread through his arm. “Just checking your virus levels,” she said, her voice thick with the same lust that coursed through him like syrup. “You really should have drank more.”
He fixed his gaze on her throat and was only half serious when he murmured, “Still can.”
Her eyes glinted with mischief as she eased closer and pressed the length of her body against him. All her soft parts fit perfectly with his hard ones, but then, he’d known that. ”Go for it,” she said, exposing her throat and calling his bluff.
She knew damned good and well that he couldn’t risk taking more blood from her, especially given how he’d lost control earlier. And he wasn’t about to take from her throat. Too intimate, too much contact, and way too much Sin for him.
Funny. Too much sin. That had never been a concern before. He’d spent the majority of his thousand years of life committing all of the sins and inventing new ones.
But this little succubus was killing his people, had made him a carrier of the disease, and her brothers were hyper-protective sons-of-demons who would have his balls on a spit if he fanged and banged her right here, right now.
You did her in a fucking closet.
