Then an assignment leads him straight back to the woman he hasnt been able to stop thinking about for five long years. The woman he had no choice but to leave behind. Is the man before her a mimic demon bent on tormenting her, or is it Gage returned from the dead? All Jordan knows is that the raging desire between them is real. Standing between them are years of secrets and hurt, and a love that just might have the power to bring them together. If the murder case theyre working on doesnt separate thempermanently.

Great start to a series!
I got this one free on kindle. It was very well written and I plan to buy more books in this series.
Repetitive story line
I refrain from giving this a 1 star because it's a book I might not have bought at full price, and so I feel it an injustice to the author to be too judgmental. Putting a book as a freebie draws in those with no interest in the genre.
All that said, the demon tale is one I would choose to read from a favorite author, as I am a fan of horror and supernatural fiction, so I reserve the right to be a tad critical. The set up of the story (the pre-prologue, if you like) was great. It tells the history of the demons, how they came to be. It was well written, interesting & gave me hope that it would be a great book. As another reviewer stated though, the actual prologue was rather cliche-ridden with Gage and his "lethal charm" and Jordan resisting at every turn until she melted into his kisses. But I pushed on....
As we know from the pre-prologue, Shadow Demons roam the earth. They are evil, they feed on emotion. Jordan, our heroine, is a vigilante destroyer: cop by day, demon slayer by night, after she witnessed the brutal murder of her partner and lover at the sword of a Shadow Demon.
The storyline itself isn't bad, but it does lack development of the characters. Other than Jordan being stubborn and feisty, there's not much else that we learn about her. The twist in the tale isn't shocking - not because I expected it (I didn't at all) but because we didn't get to know enough about any of the other characters to really care, and so when the twist was revealed, it gave me more of a "oh" reaction than a "WOW! I never would have guessed" shocker.
My title calls this repetitive, and it does become so. The same fight scenes replay, but worse - the same sex scene is basically repeated over and over. I think even those readers who love a racy sex scene would be disappointed. By the 3rd replay, I skipped them altogether. Nothing new here.
entertaining and fun
Good Sci-Fi writing, I found the characters compling. Don't think too deep, just enjoy it. I couldn't put it down. I will be looking for more of this author's works,
Meh...
The only reason I read this book was because it came free on my kindle... hard to pass up free sometimes.
The book had potential. As far as fantasy and battles and stuff like that, it could have been great. There were WAY too many love scenes. I'm all for romance and drama... but only if its tastefully done. The author seemed to be trying to push a quota of love scenes or something. It broke up the intensity of any drama in the storyline. One moment they're battling creatures and the next they are all over each other and I kept thinking "wait a second, are the creatures dead then?"
So, if you read this book, take it in the sense that its more like a fantasy smut romance book than a real intense fantasy book. If you read it for what it is, than its great. But don't expect to get much more out of it.
Nonstop entertainment
This is an excellent read. The book shifts from action to passion and keeps moving. I couldn't put it down. Well worth the time spent reading. I really look forward to reading more from this author.
