Description:

HER TOUCH IS DEADLY
As the only female Seminus demon ever born, master assassin Sinead Donnelly is used to being treated like an outcast. She spent decades enslaved, and now vows she'll die before she'll relinquish her freedom again. Then Sin's innate ability to kill her enemies goes awry: She creates a lethal new werewolf virus that sparks a firestorm of panic and violence.
HIS HUNGER CAN'T BE DENIED
Half-werewolf, half-vampire Conall Dearghul is charged with bringing in Sin to face punishment for the plague. And she's no stranger: He's bound to her by blood, and the one sexual encounter they shared has left him hungering for her raw sensuality. Worse, Sin is the underworld's most wanted and Con soon learns he's the only one who can help her . . . and that saving her life might mean sacrificing his own.

My Review:
(Originally Reviewed on Mrs. Papillion aka "The Book Worm")

Let me just say this...I'm really upset to hear that this is the last book in the Demonica Series. I loved reading about Demons. My Demon fix though will be put to a halt now. I guess I'll have to re-read the series eventually if I want my fix again, which I definitely don't mind.  

On to the Review though...Larissa Ione couldn't of picked the best two to finish out the series...Sin and Conall are perfect together. Sin who is been through so much since she was born and Conall who is been through a lot in his lifetime as well.

Sin unfortunately creates a virus that is killing off ALL the turned werewolves. Conall has to find away to stop it and stop her. He falls in love with her though. He actually messed with Sin in the previous book though so I got a feel on how Sin and Conall got together. Sin has a lot on her shoulders in this book. Not only do the werewolves want to stop the virus that she is spreading and kill her...but her assassins that she has working for her want her dead too because they want to take over. Geez...poor Sin!! Conall will stop at nothing to find out how to stop the virus and also be with Sin. Sin keeps pushing him away though. I was surprised at the ending. I couldn't put this book down when I was reading it. Thank you, Larissa for making a PERFECT book for the ending to the Series. I'm sad the series is over...but I'm looking forward to your next series that you are writing about. Looks like the Demonica series will be another series I will read over and over again. =) I can't wait to read the New Series..which will happen soon. Thank you again Larissa Ione for my Demon fix. I loved all these Demons!

A DEMON ENSLAVED
Lore is a Seminus half-breed demon who has been forced to act as his dark master's assassin. Now to earn his freedom and save his sister's life, he must complete one last kill. Powerful and ruthless, he'll stop at nothing to carry out this deadly mission.
AN ANGEL TEMPTED
Idess is an earthbound angel with a wild side, sworn to protect the human Lore is targeting. She's determined to thwart her wickedly handsome adversary by any means necessary-even if that means risking her vow of eternal chastity. But what begins as a simple seduction soon turns into a passion that leaves both angel and demon craving complete surrender.
Torn between duty and desire, Lore and Idess must join forces as they battle their attraction for each other. Because an enemy from the past is rising again-one hellbent on vengeance and unthinkable destruction.

My Review:

(Originally Reviewed on Mrs. Papillion aka "The Book Worm")

Let me just say Idess is an amazing character in this story. I've always been fascinated with Angels and although Idess may not be fully Angel, yet...she definitely has the best attributes on becoming the PERFECT Angel. Lore may not be a perfect match for her at first, but he grows into this different person towards the end. It's triangle in this book though since the way Lore meets Idess, is darn good one. The man he has to kill is actually the man she has to keep alive and to top it off, Lore doesn't understand that he can't kill the person he's supposed to kill because only a Angel can. Then it turns out Idess has to keep an eye on Lore too. It's just a mess that turns out to be for the best.

Let me just say this...I didn't want to put this book down...Once it started getting juicy, I just couldn't pry my fingers away from the book. Larissa Ione, I don't know how you do it...but your Series is becoming even more addictive.  =)

 Forbidden temptations
Serena Kelley is an archaeologist and treasure hunter-and a woman with a secret. Since she was seven, she's been the keeper of a powerful charm that grants her health and immortality...as long as she stays a virgin. But Serena isn't all that innocent. And when a dangerously handsome stranger brings her to the brink of ecstasy, she wonders if she's finally met the one man she cannot resist.
Fatal Desires
Wraith is a Seminus demon with a death wish. But when an old enemy poisons him, he must find Serena and persuade her to give him the only known antidote in the universe-her charm. Yet, as she begins to surrender to his seductions and Wraith senses the cure is within his grasp, he realizes a horrible truth: He's falling for the woman whose life he must take in order to save his own.

My Review:
(Originally Reviewed on Mrs. Papillion aka "The Book Worm")

My thoughts of why I loved this book and why I had a hard time putting it down...let's just say, I will forever love Larissa Ione's writing style. She reminds me of Gena Showalter and J.R. Ward. Where she'll go back and forth to each character and even throw in other characters in the mix. She'll throw in a another twist in the story and also throw in the characters she'll be writing about in her next book. She gets you prepared for the next book, which is GREAT.

What I loved most of this book, was the character Serena and how she was always tempted to be with Wraith, but she always had the willpower to stop herself. Wraith turned into another person in this book and you found out the softer side to him. Seminum demons will do anything to be with the women they love and he proved it in this book. What he did to Serena was awful, but he made up for it at the end. I fell in love with both these characters. They definitely were meant to be with each other. Serena a beautiful charmed woman and Wraith a evil vampire who did everything to get into trouble met his match when he met Serena. I loved the ending too because their was a twist for Wraith at the end and he had to grow up even more and I was proud of his decision. I was even surprised of Serena and how she accepted Wraith and his past.

Thank you, Larissa Ione for feeding me my Demon Addiction now. =)

 Runa Wagner never meant to fall in love with the sexy stranger who seemed to know her every deepest desire.

But when he wakes up in a dank dungeon chained next to an enraged and mysteriously powerful Runa, he realizes that her effect on him is more dangerous than ever.
As their captor casts a spell that bonds them as lifemates, Shade and Runa must fight for their lives and their hearts-or succumb to a madman's evil plans.

My Review:

(Originally Reviewed on Mrs. Papillion aka "The Book Worm")

 Let me just say, Larissa Ione, I love your Demonica Series...it reminds me so much of the LOTW Series and Alien Huntress Series by Gena Showalter. I've had the Demonica Series books for awhile, but just got a chance to read them. What did I think about the second book in the series? I loved it and that' s all that matters. I definitely would re-read this book again. Hopefully in the future I will be able to once I'm done reading the other books I have stacked up on my bookshelves in my room and all the books in my Kindle I've ordered. I really enjoyed reading about Shade and Runa. This book had a twist in it though about the Seminus Demon Brother that Shade thought he had lost. You never expected the ending to this book. I give this book 5 full moons and two thumbs up.

Pleasure Unbound

Description:

In a place where ecstasy
can cost you your life...
Tayla Mancuso is a demon-slayer who hungers for sensual pleasure-but fears it will always be denied her. Until Tayla Mancuso lands in a hospital run by demons in disguise, and the head doctor, Eidolon, makes her body burn with unslakable desire. But to prove her ultimate loyalty to her peers, she must betray the surgeon who saved her life.
Two lovers will dare to risk all.
Eidolon cannot resist this fiery, dangerous woman who fills him with both rage and passion.

Torn between his need for the truth and his quest to find his perfect mate before a horrific transformation claims him forever, Eidolon will dare the unthinkable-and let Tayla possess him, body and soul...

My Review:

(Originally Reviewed on Mrs. Papillion aka "The Book Worm" in 2010)

This series reminds me of the Alien Huntress Series by Gena Showalter a little bit. It has the same kind of world in it like the aliens that Gena writes about, but Larissa is writing about demons instead. The Demonica Series has bad and good demons and also has slayers that kill the demons. 

Of course you have the demon in the story who falls in love, but he ends up falling in love with a slayer. Eidolon is a doctor at UG Hospital and he happens to come across Tayla because she gets injured in one of her fights with a demon and is almost on the verge of death, but Eidolon saves her. He doesn't know why in the beginning, but for some reason he is drawn to her. Tayla of course has something strange about her, that Eidolon finds out. 

I love the characters in the story. Tayla is tough and determined to stay the path she's on because all she's known is The Aegis. Eidolon is determined to not make "The Change" that his demon species makes after their 1000 year mark. Eidolon is a sweetheart in this book. I wouldn't mind having him as my doctor. Tayla is definitely well taken care of in the book and I'm kind of jealous of her. It did take me awhile to finish this book, but not because I wasn't interested. I was just too busy to pick up my book, which of course had me irritated. I love reading on my downtime, but it seems on my downtime I rather sleep right now. Work has been crazy the last couple of weeks and I'm looking forward to September when I have some vacation time again and I'm there for my daughter when she goes to school. I definitely love Larissa Ione's Demonica Series and I'm looking forward to reading the next book. Larissa Ione has become a author I will follow for awhile. Her books are addictive so far and I definitely categorized her with Gena Showalter and Kresley Cole. =)
