     It’s not easy being life’s own personal joke, but Josette Landry has made an unstable peace with the beast. Life will continue to throw every bad thing it has at her, and she will continue to not put her head in an oven. But that’s okay. That which doesn’t kill her will just require a few hours of mental insanity. Completely down on her luck, Josette takes a job with a local paranormal group trying to get their own cable show as a photographer and camerawoman. Yeah, they’re even crazier than she is. The only paranormal thing she believes in is the miracle that keeps her rusted out hoopty running. But when her group accidentally releases something truly evil into the world, they are forced to call in  reinforcement.

     From the moment Josette meets Cadegan, she knows something about him isn’t quite right. And it’s not just because she can’t even begin to pronounce his last name: Maboddimun. Mysterious and armed with lethal sarcasm, he seems a lot older than his apparent age…

     Centuries ago, Cadegan sold his soul for vengeance against the betrayer who cursed him. Forced against his will to do good, he hates everything in life. All he wants is a way out. But for the damned there is only eternal suffering. And yet there is something about Josette that intrigues him as much as it irritates and frustrates him. Something he can’t seem to fight, and the last time he felt this way about a woman, it cost him his soul.

     He knows he has to stay away from her, but the evil her friends unleashed is hellbent on consuming her soul. Something he cannot allow. If one more innocent is taken, he will be sent back to an unimaginable prison that makes his current hell look like paradise. But how can he keep her safe when his being with her is the greatest threat of all?

     Like every Sherrilyn Kenyon's DH book this one was a great read. We have Cadegan, an immortal warrior who has been punished for something that someone else thought was something someone evil could only do or someone on the path to evil (hope you understood that, lol). He was left to fend for himself for centuries and then in comes rescue in the form of Jossette.

     Jossette is cousin to the crazy Devereaux family. She, like Amanda before her, didn't believe in all the things her family believes in. Then she was in another dimension and even when everything felt like a dream she got a very rude awakening to the reality of her world.

     Cadegan is one of the few entities, like the Malakai and Ash, who has the power to end the world or save it.

     Also, the Thorn revelation was an OMG moment, both who his son is (which I didn't know he had) and who his daddy is. I mean can this series can get any more f'ed up? I hope so cause I'm loving it.

     This series gets more interesting book by book and I don't see myself getting bored by it any time soon. Yes, like everything, there are some things that I like more than others so there are some books I like more than others, but the stories are still good and I can't wait to see a complete immersion of the CoN and DH series.
