About this book

Zhubaal, fallen angel assistant to the Grim Reaper, has spent decades searching for the angel he loved and lost nearly a century ago. Not even her death can keep him from trying to find her, not when he knows she's been given a second chance at life in a new body. But as time passes, he's losing hope, and he wonders how much longer he can hold to the oath he swore to her so long ago....

As an emim, the wingless offspring of two fallen angels, Vex has always felt like a second-class citizen. But if she manages to secure a deal with the Grim Reaper - by any means necessary - she will have earned her place in the world. The only obstacle in the way of her plan is a sexy hardass called Z, who seems determined to thwart her at every turn. Soon it becomes clear that they have a powerful connection rooted in the past...but can any vow stand the test of time?

Reviews for Z:

“A great read with well written characters and as with the other stories in the series, the descriptions of the underworld are wonderful.” Sunshine, Amazon Reviewer

“Z and Vex have a second chance love story with a twist! I loved the push and pull of their relationship, the twists of the plot and finally getting to see another side of Z.” Kat, Cup of Tea Book Blog

“Larissa has an unmatched talent for complex character development, amazing dialogue, and a story that has you laughing, freaking out, amazed, and completely lost in her Demonica Underworld.” MsChris, Goodreads Reviewer

“It was great to immerse myself in the shenanigans of Sheoul-gra and Azagoth’s realm again. I have loved and revisited its colourful characters on numerable occasions and this is another that I will definitely add to the revisit list.” SW and BK, Amazon Reviewers

Z by Larissa Ione

April 6, 2026

Z is the third book in Larissa Ione’s Demonica Underworld Series. I read this copy as an ARC (Advanced Reader Copy) e-book from Larissa Ione and Blue Box Press. I also read this story when it was originally published as part of the 1001 Dark Nights Series. This book follows the story of Z and Vex. This rerelease features a gorgeous new cover and added content. Buy or borrow this book to discover whether Z can let go of his past vow and embrace his future happiness. )
