Eight months ago after humanity found descendants of Fallen angels in its family tree, a backlash of fear and discrimination against the demon spawn ensued. To give mankind time to adjust without divine influence, God recalled His angels, and declared the world off limits to both angels and demons.Sahara Mancuso, appointed Caretaker for the demon spawn, and Senate hopeful, Judge Hampton, are fighting for Nephilim acceptance and political rights. But it's an uphill battle, and when a legion of demons break the rules and invade the world again, larger problems loom. Now nobody is safe, including Sahara, who is their prime target.Things get complicated when reformed Demon Lord and provisional angel Maxiel is sent to hunt and kill the invaders. He is a powerful ally, but God has set a time limit to eliminate the demons, and their numbers are mysteriously multiplying. Maxiel has sworn to save Sahara from the demons. But saving herself from the Demon Lord and temptation is harder, even knowing the risks to her life, Maxiel's immortal soul, and mankind's future. It doesn't help that Lucifer is actively stalking her, interfering with humanity, and trying to create a new Hell on earth.God wants mankind to evolve away from evil and Darkness, and He has a plan for it. The question is, what does that new jump in evolution look like, will anyone accept it, and can they do it quickly enough to avoid divine Armageddon?

Some books you read on the beach. Others you want on your bookshelf forever. Demon Lord by Margie McDonnell Welsh is both. You can bring it with you on vacation this summer—and then re-read it later when you need to remind yourself what great, bold storytelling looks like. Underneath the layers of action and angel-demon romance, there’s a powerful metaphor about the world we live in: good vs. evil, and the incredible (and terrifying) gift of free will. Humanity is on a deadline to evolve, and...

What a great second step into Margie's demon universe! After reading the first book and enjoying the introduction to a world where angels and demons are real part of society, demon lord evolves the series and its characters to journey further down the path of the fine line between good and evil. With strong themes of family, love, and justice Margie explores relationships, parel, and difficult decisions through her characters. I very much enjoyed her contiued creative world that I felt immersed...

Romance novel meets fantasy meets Dark Shadows meets the deadpan delivery of Bob Newhart as this book continues the story of our heroine, Sahara (aka The Caretaker) in her whacky life as a den mother in charge of a group home for kids who are born of human women that were fathered by defiant angels. All of the characters from Book 1 are present and accounted for and I can say unequivocally that heat between Sahara and Maxiel has not cooled, but it has morphed. As the surrogate mother to this...

While I enjoyed the book something seemed to be missing, it took a while to realize that it was the sense of awe...that feeling of mingled fear and wonder. It makes sense, the character has been exposed to most of the things before. Rather than concentrate on the wonders of discovery, this book concentrates on the relationships between the characters. It is a good story and well worth reading anyway, and does have a few moments of awe that are generally worth the wait. ) 2 people found this...

I really loved this book. The idea of demon spawn is original and I find myself caught up in the characters lives, and wanting to know what's next. Oh my gosh, the parts that include Satan are amazingly written. I enjoy the authors description of his wickedness, and how devious he is. The time spent in HELL was enjoyable! Now let's talk about the sensual parts, WOW...well done! Another creative character, is the depiction of God which is imaginative and clever. I'm a fan and look forward to the...
