Book Summary
From New York Times bestselling author Kresley Cole comes this spellbinding story of a demon king trapped by an enchantress for her wanton purposes -- and the scorching aftermath that follows when he turns the tables and claims her as his captive.
HIS OBSESSION...
Sabine, Sorceress of Illusions: the evil beauty who surrenders her body, but not her heart.
HER DOWNFALL...

THEY WERE NEVER SUPPOSED TO WANT EACH OTHER THIS MUCH...
With each smoldering encounter, their shared hunger only increases. If they can defeat the sinister enemy that stands between them, will Sabine make the ultimate sacrifice for her demon? Or will the proud king lay down his crown and arms to save his sorceress?
My Review
I really love this series and was looking forward to Rydstrom’s book. For such a regal man, I envisioned a great story. Instead, I got something that crossed even my morals.
THIS WILL HAVE SOME SPOILERS
So, I don’t agree with rape whether it’s done to a girl or a
guy. And that’s what this book feels like to me. I had a DNF with Larrisa
Ione’s Lethal Rider (although the rape occurs in previous book towards the end if I remember correctly
). I somehow trudged through this one only because Rydstrom was
told exactly what was going to happen to him and why. Therefore, I felt
somewhat better. Where as in the other book, almost same scenario he begged her
to stop she didn’t. I couldn’t read more for him to fall in love with her
later.
That takes me to my moral dilemma with this book and the
other. How can a guy fall in love with a woman after being violated? What are
we telling women today? If you are raped, hope that you will fall in love with
the culprit because his greater purpose was for you to have his child. REALLY?
I don’t get how women could write this. Obviously, these
women have never been violated before otherwise they wouldn’t write such stupid
stuff.
Still, after the horrible first half, I love that Rystrom
turned the tables on her which somehow made it better. Still, I can’t give this
book anymore stars. It’s just wrong on too many levels.
Audio Review
Robert Petkoff continues to do a bang up job. I love his
narration.
