When he’s an immortal demon-slayer with OCD and a panty obsession…
Bender didn’t used to be a creep, but Aria keeps bringing it out of him. He’s gone from psycho stalker to kidnapper, and he’s about to have to shatter her world more when he learns the demons aren’t just on a killing spree. They’re after her.
Aria has some serious trust issues and Bender isn’t doing himself any favors. A possible psychopath with a twisted panty obsession, she both feared him and craved him. After being used and abused by the people who were supposed to keep her safe, Bender was the only one that was still there. That still cared for her. This stranger she knows nothing about has saved her twice now, and she doesn’t know how to feel about that.
When the demons turn their attention to her, she discovers that Bender has been keeping a huge secret from her. One that could cost her soul…and her heart.

4 1/2 stars - Engaging dark story that drew me in from the beginning to the end. Our characters Bender a demon hunter who protects Aria and Aria who unknowingly is involved in a prophecy where her live is in danger were likable with chemistry and flaws that kept me invested in their romantic adventures. The story line was interesting in this copy I'd received and volunteer to read and review. )

This book completely drew me in from the very first chapter. The pacing is spot-on! Fast enough to keep you turning the pages but layered with enough detail to really bring the characters and story to life. The tension builds perfectly. I loved how complex and relatable the main character was, and the author does an excellent job weaving in emotional depth without slowing down the action. The smut was a good amount without taking away from the plot. This is a must-read for tjose that like spice...

Great story! I Love a book that has you right from the start. This story keeps you going. The drama is great, but not over packed. I am not a fan of an over smut book, so this book was a good read for me! When fantasy is mixed with reality the author did a great job merging the two without making it seem as its one or the other. Great great read! ) One person found this helpful
