Demon Possessed (Megan Chase)
This book wrapped itself around my heart, and squeezed and squeezed and squeezed! It had emotional angst, romantic tension, and life altering decisions that threw everyone, (including me) for a loop. I seriously didn’t see it coming…but then again, I never see it coming 😉 This was THE best book in the series, and one of my favorite books of the year. I would, however recommend that you read the first two before hitting this one, to get an idea of everything Meg has been through up until now, and to develop an attachment to the characters like I did. Following the series properly will allow for the reader to get the best possible “oomph” when they finally get to the part that rocked my world. You’ll be so emotionally invested by then, that you’ll feel every sting. read more
Demon Inside
Book#2 in the series (this one) was “good”. But book #3…WOW!!! I read that one straight through without stopping, and I’m still thinking about it.
But I digress. This is the review for book#2, and I shall continue with it. Now when I say “good”, it’s actually more of a description of how I felt when I finished the story. I could easily acknowledge that the story was interesting, but I didn’t feel elated when it was done (like I did with books# 1 & 3). The whole first half was intriguing, and I was having a hard time putting the book down, but at a certain point, the battles became exhausting and were just a little too drawn out to hold my interest. read more

My first foray back in to the paranormal romance world after my “Terrible” urban fantasy-fest last week was hard. It still is. I keep thinking about re-reading the entire Downside series because, let’s be honest. I wasn’t ready to leave their world. Lily and I still can’t stop chatting daily about our favorite parts, favorite lines, what-ifs, what’s coming… But we both agreed. It was time to move on. Now I admit, I haven’t strayed far, since I’m still reading books from the same author. I just finished book one in Stacia Kane’s Megan Chase series. Had I read it before my Terrible addiction, I would most likely be raving about it in my review. But perhaps my “Terrible bias” is holding me back from becoming completely absorbed with Dante (the hero in this book). Poooor unbelievably sexy, suave, cool and aloof Greyson Dante. Actually… nothing poor about him, if we go by the tale told. But in my little “Terrible-obsessed” reading world, he almost didn’t stand a chance (key word being “almost”). read more
Another great recommendation by Louisa!
As per the author’s website:
When 28-year-old Emma Donahoe becomes a nanny to John Chen’s daughter, Simone, she does not expect to be drawn into a world of martial arts, magic, and extreme danger, where both gods and demons can exist in the mortal world.
Emma gradually realises that John Chen is no ordinary businessman and that nearly all the demons in hell would like to see him dead. John and his American bodyguard, Leo, begin to teach Emma their particular brand of martial arts and special defensive techniques … they also begin to realise that there is something that is different about Emma but exactly what it is, nobody can say. read more
