Whispers abound in Gehenna, Zeus knows the empusae is alive and he wants her dead. A war is coming, and a war is exactly what Empusa’s been training her pets for.
Deep down, Empusa only wants one thing—the demise of those who banished her to Hell, and she will stop at nothing to escape and exact her revenge. Traveling the Dream Realm, she spends countless hours searching for her ticket out, and she’s finally found him.
Krael Connolly, the Crown Prince of Gehenna, spends his days researching demons, particularly the elusive empusae, and his nights being visited by his Emmy in his dreams. As the Demon of Vengeance, he fights a battle with his inner demon every day, but his humanity continues to win out…although, the demon of his dreams is testing that control.
He endlessly fights against the dark, while she fights against the light. She calls to his demon as he struggles to bring out her humanity. She lives for chaos, blood and destruction, but he makes her experience something she'd never experienced before—emotions.
But ultimately, what will Empusa do? Whatever hell she wants.
And was almost late for work! I had a little extra time so I thought I would be able to read a couple pages then go. But instead I looked up an hour later and had to scramble! Loved this continuation of Empy's story. Love the new characters and how her story is evolving. Can't wait for the next book!
This is the first book by K. Margaret that I have had a chance to read. I did struggle some with this book. At times I felt if I blinked I would miss something that was going on in the story line. However, the characters and story are well developed. I think it might have helped if I had read book one first. I do recommend this book for anyone who enjoys paranormal reads and mythology. I was given this book in exchange for an honest review.
