Who wants to be ordinary... when you can be extraordinary?!

First... WHOA! Second... I mean REALLY WHOA! Ariana's sojourn in Hell continues with her month now being passed to Asher as she has been kidnapped by the fae. Of course, there is a reason for the kidnapping - beyond annoying the demon lords, and Ari soon finds herself embroiled in even deeper political issues than before.

The fae teach Ari some of what she needs to know about her newly awakening powers, and then she's off to finish the month in Asher's castle. The demon lords are fighting about how to handle the changes - as usual, and Ari is discovering the true depths of her love for Fen as well as what she is truly capable of.

Apparently I do not have the mind of a writer - I mean, really, look how often these reviews sound similar - but beyond that the twists and turns with extremely detailed imagery in Karpov Kinrade's arsenal just astound me! Every book I've read abounds with exquisite detail letting the reader imagine themselves within the story much like watching a movie. Time passes, and you aren't sure where it went!

The ending... well, I'm going to make you read it for yourself, but I didn't see that coming! I feel like I should have, but I didn't!

PS - I adore Baron. Yami has his own charm, but Baron still holds my heart.

Wow! What an introduction for a new series!

Ari is exactly the type of heroine I love - smart, funny, SARCASTIC, and strong. This is no shrinking violet - when life hands her a tough choice she steps up to the plate, and takes charge of her future. Raised in Portland, with no hint of mystical or mythical, Ari has always had an affinity for the night. Now that "strangeness" is starting to make sense as her mother has fallen into a coma, and the only way to save her is for Ari to agree to marry one of seven brothers - vampires - in order to determine who will rule Hell.

Each brother has been cursed with one of the seven deadly sins, and she must spend a month with each brother in his realm of Hell before deciding whom to marry. First up - Fen, Prince of War. Fen had originally decided to pass on his month with Ari as he has been tasked with seeing to her safety, and has all ready spent some time watching her in Portland. However, when it seems there is a plot afoot which has actually killed their father, the King, he changes his mind.

This story is well written with many intricate details which help you empathize with Ari, and the writing team of Karpov Kinrade has definitely mastered the art of descriptive writing so that you can imagine yourself in the story. I can't wait for book 2!
