My Review:
Dominic Duvane of the Fore Demon Council tells demon Rafael Deleon that Hell's northern region Prince Belial's Infernati warriors attacked the guardians protecting the chest. Belial captured Rafe's sister Coby, but she bravely sent the chest to earth to buy time in order to prevent the enemy from obtaining it. Dominic orders Rafe to retrieve the chest while he rescues Coby from their enemies dungeon.
Serah Bear has bought the antique chest to her friend cosmetologist Lucia Gregory. Lucy attempts to open it while unaware that she would be freeing some nasty demons. Rafe arrives just in time as she releases some of the nasty demons and tells her to shut the chest before anymore comes out. He realizes that Lucy is a succubus and that he wants her which stuns him as he never expected to meet a succubus or desire one.
Rafael feels very guilty that he couldn't protect his sister and he hides a softer side of himself under a gruff and stubborn exterior.
Lucy definately can hold her own man does she have a tongue on her, LOL! She's very loyal and treats her friends and employees like friends. Really liked she was determined to break down Rafe's barriers and walls.
I really liked how Sydney incorporated a fantasy world of different supernatural creatures.
4/5

Great review. I need to get my hands on a copy of this book. I met Sidney at RAGT a couple of weeks ago & she is a sweetie!
I only got about half way through this one before I had to stop. I felt that the story didn't flow nicely at all and the scenes were choppy. I did like the characters but the writing style just never came together for me. I'm glad you liked it though.
Loved the review!
