Author Meljean Brook ups the ante in paranormal romance with the seventh installment in her riveting Guardians series. In a series known for its complex world building and compelling characters, Ms. Brook has written yet another edge of your seat adventure, adding even more layers of mythology and creating a hero that just may be her most beloved yet.
Guardian Alice Grey has a problem: she bargained with a demon and pledged to kill the Guardian Doyen Michael. Fulfilling her promise will earn her eternal damnation. Not fulfilling her promise will earn her an eternity in hell’s frozen field. It’s the ultimate no-win situation.
Novice Guardian Jake Hawkins is creeped out by the Guardian known as the “Black Widow,” but the woman’s attempts to scare him off also have the odd effect of piquing his interest. Who is this woman who draws giant spiders out of her mouth and keeps everyone at a distance?
When a botched teleportation trip lands Jake and Alice in hell, they realize that their leader, Michael, has been hiding dangerous information about the origins of the Guardians. Can they trust a Doyen that has direct ties to hell?
Time is running out for Alice and Jake to find a solution to fulfilling her bargain. They must decide how much they are willing to sacrifice for love.
Fantasy fans will delight as the plot thickens, twists and turns. Romance fans will fall in love with a hero that is heroic in the true sense of the word. Jake playful and gregarious, with human flaws that make him even more likable. Alice is serious and introverted. They learn from each other, complete each other, grow and become a better person for having loved the other.
DEMON BOUND comes out today, and I can’t recommend to you enough that you run out and buy it.
