Synopsis:
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?
Review:
So if you guys know me at all, you know that one of my goals in life is to read everything Sherrilyn Kenyon ever writes. Because she is my literary hero and I love her work. Anywho, I recently went through a period where I wasn't reading anything, but that all changed a week ago when I picked up her latest installment in the Dark Hunter series called Son of No One. The hero and the heroine of the story are Cadegan, brother of Thorn, and Josette, cousin of the Devereaux sisters.
I was excited to read this because I love the Devereaux sisters and even though I didn't know Jo, knowing that she was related to them was recommendation enough. As for Cadegan, I read the Chronicles of Nick last Fall and he was in there, so I was excited to see his story.
Just a little FYI, this will contain mega-spoilers. Ye be warned. Okay. At the start, Jo is down on her luck and trying to regain balance in her life. And what do you know, she looses her balance and falls through a mirror into another realm where she meets Cadegan. Love ensues. Epic battle are fought. And Josette vows to save him from this solitary confinement.
Just wow, guys. This book was so adorable. So hilarious. I was in love from page one. And can I just say when she fell through that mirror, I had a feeling that something like Fate was at work. And lo and behold, later you find out that she and Cade are a reincarnated goddess and Welsh prince. I love being right.
This is a great read if you're a Sherrilyn Kenyon fan, if you love great books, and if you enjoy delving into a world of mythical beings with awesome powers and fantastical adventures who have lots of sexy times. I'm just saying.
Side NOTE: what've you guys been reading this year?
