That Old Black Magic

December 1, 2011
Eden Riley is a witch, conceived when her mom had a one-night stand with an angel. She tries to be good, and when she does use black magic, her amulet turns darker. If it ever goes completely black, she will be destined for hell. Darrak is Eden's demon lover, and when the sun goes down, his gorgeous body disappears, and in a swirl of smoke, he takes up residence in Eden. Eden's partner in an investigations agency, Andy, was bitten by a werewolf. While Eden and Darrak are trying to keep him safe, all hell breaks loose, and Eden and Andy must go to the brink of the Void to save Darrak. This delightfully inventive, demonically angelic romance elicits the feel-good vibe readers want from romance, and even though it is the conclusion of a trilogy, it works as a stand-alone. Still, libraries will want all three titles (The Demon in Me and Something Wicked, both 2010) for readers who enjoy the humor of MaryJanice Davidson, Gini Koch, and Gerry Bartlett.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2011, American Library Association.)
