It's Star Trek meets Victorian London...a cute love story about a human man and a half human/half demon woman who have just about one of the steamiest and most graphic affairs I've ever read, but not exactly what I expected. When I saw demon, I expected demons...not humanoids with silver eyes. Guess I've read too many "Dark Hunter" novels and had Simi on the brain. ;-)

I did not find the world-building by this author to be at all convincing. It seemed to be a half-assed effort at best. Also, the way the sex scenes were written makes me think that Emma Holly is actually a man. Maybe I'm just spoiled because I have so recently read Sherrilyn Kenyon's fantastic Dark-Hunter series, but I was not at all impressed by this book and don't expect that I'll bother to read anything else by Emma Holly as a result.

Sci-fi meets romance novel, with some very steamy love scenes thrown in for good measure!

I have enjoyed the Demon series from Emma Holly and snap up each new book when they come out. The Yama, the sex, yummy!

I read this book after reading Emma Holly's short story that was published with others in Hot Spell. It involved different characters in the same world and was good enough for me to pick up another novel in the series. I enjoyed this book but was a bit disappointed. The characters were a little flat and didn't develop along with the plot as much as I thought they should. Overall I would say this it fell a bit flat when compared with the potential of the first short story and the steampunk-esq setting, although the world is interesting enough for me to give any others from this series a go. Maybe Holly will improve the series with time.
