Pleasure Unbound (Demonica #1) by Larissa Ione

Tayla Mancuso is a demon hunter. Since her mother died when she was sixteen she has known about evil. She has been part of the Aegis, who sole purpose is too eliminate all demons since they are all evil. When she gets hurt, she ends up in a hospital, UGH. It is a hospital for demons and run by demons. She is shocked to learn that Eidolon, the doctor who saves her is a demon, graduated from Harvard and that he runs the hospital with his two brothers. She also learns that not all demons are evil. Some of this information may have been let out of the info given to her by The Aegis.
Can enemies become lovers?
Many twists happen and all are welcome. Tayla also meets her long lost sister who is part demon.
The world building is fascinating and the secondary characters are great. Can't wait for their stories.
This was a great beginning to the series.

Unmaking Hunter Kennedy by Anne Eliot

Hunter Kennedy's life is a mess. He is a famous pop rock star. He has been in a six weeks mental facility after drinking, crashing his car, popping pills and cutting himself. It was a cry for help. His mother decides that fame is too much for him. She sends him to live with his great aunt in Monument, Colorado. He meets the Roth children, Charlie and Vere, who are to help him in the transition.

Vere has had a crush on Curtis for years. She has been teased non stop at school for it. When she meets Hunter, she has no idea who he is. But his brother does. When she is told that Hunter needs a disguise she decides to make him into a dork. Everyone believes Hunter is Dustin McHugh.

At the beginning Hunter is very upset about what his mom is forcing him to do. But after he is done with his new disguise and meets Vere, he is not sure this is not a good thing for him.

The more they get along and they open their hearts, the more Hunter falls for Vere. He knows he can stay forever, and he is trying to help Vere overcome her shyness and possible lossing her to Curtis. But, how long can he keep his feelings secret?
I recommend this book. It was fun reading the unmaking of Hunter. Vere was naive and sweet girl. The kiss was the best.

Elizabeth Stevens couldn't have a worse day. She is turning 35 and since her divorce, she had stopped living. To makes matters worse she is baking the cake for her ex-husband's wedding to the woman he left her for.

Her grandmother Verda decides to pass her the gift of magic on her birthday. It manifests through her baking (ex-husband will be the first to experience her magic- in a not so fun way).

After too many margaritas, she losses her keys to the apartment and ends up getting stuck in her window. Her new neighbor, Nate Sutherland, who is a cop, helps her get her back in. She immediately feels chemistry with him.

Once she realizes that her magic is real, she cast a few spells. But, there are repercussions to all of them.

This is a fun, light read.

The Immortal Rules (Blood of Eden #1) by Julie Kagawa

Allison Sekemoto is a survivor. She lives by finding food anyway she can. She is an unregistered. Humans have succumbed to a the Red Lung virus. The world is ruled by vampires and humans are marked as cattle who give their blood to the vampires. In exchange they are fed by them. Allie has never wanted to be part of the "cattle". She lives with other unregistered. Unfortunately, one night she is attacked by Rabids and when she is given a choice, she picks to become the thing she hates, a vampire.

Kanin is the master vampire who saves her. When they are separated, she comes into contact with a human group who is looking for the cure. Part of the group is Zeke Crosse, he is loyal, truthful and a leader. For Allie is hard to keep up pretending to be human.

I like the world building and that the vampires are not portrayed as soft beings. I wished there was more Kanin in this book and more Zeke/Allie interaction.

When a new boy is transfered to her school and he turns out to play football, position as a quarterback, it makes her life confusing since she starts having girly feelings towards him.

This book is about dreams and waking up to the real world. It was entertaining and I thought Jordan was written in a perfect way.

Desire Unchained (Demonica #2) by Larissa Ione

We start book two with Shade (a Seminus Demon) and Runa in a Ghoul's dungeon. They have been trapped together. To Shade's horror someone he cares about has betrayed them and hates him and his brothers.

Runa is the girl whom he started having feelings for a year ago. He broke her heart when she found him in bed with two vampires. When she fled the apartment, she was then attacked by Luc and became a werewolf.

To make matters worse they are spelled to become life mates. This triggers the beginning of the curse or Maluncoeur. The "curse that promised if he fell in love, he'd slowly fade away until he became invisible to everyone. He'd live forever, wracked with stabbing hunger pangs, debilitating thirst, and unbearable sexual desire for all eternity."

There is the issue of Runa not being able to bond with someone who is not a werewolf too.

We catch up with the brothers, the Hospital UGH, and all the secondary characters.

The series gets better. The banter between brothers is fun to read. Reminds me of BDB at times.

Fourth Grave Beneath My Feet (Charley Davidson #4) by Darynda Jones

Charley is recovering from the attack she suffered in the last book. She is having big time issues with agoraphobia. She has been buying multiple unnecessary things through the shopping channel and the boxes are covering the chair where she was tortured. She calls this area of her apartment Area 51. It has been two months since she has worked.
When a new client comes knocking she can't say no and when everyone thinks the young woman is lying, the more Charlie believes her.
She also breaks the two month no contact with Reyes Farrow, the son of Satan. She goes out and looks for him. She discovers he is performing cage fighting but it seems like he also may be fighting real demons too.
We get a glimpse of Donovan a couple of times that makes you want more interaction between him and Charley (sorry Reyes for cheating on you). Donovan is so well written. A biker with a great heart. (I may have a weakness for them- SOA Jax, Tack Motorcycle Man).
Book four has a nice flow, some action, a great scene between Reyes and Charley. Donovan is a plus. Her guardian is cute.
