Book Review of Lucinda, Darkly (Demon Princess Chronicles, Bk 1)

Lucinda, Darkly (Demon Princess Chronicles, Bk 1)
Helpful Score: 2


Couldn't even finish this--reminded me too much of Laurell K. Hamilton's books (and why I stopped reading them). Ridiculously kick-ass heroine with unearthly beauty and boundless sexual appetite? Check. Gratuitous sex scenes with an S&M vibe? Check. Model-worthy men who glowed during said sex scenes? Check. There just didn't seem to be enough plot to hold the book together; it was mostly a series of sex scenes, broken up by the occasional bout of graphic violence. I'm not even sure what the story was supposed to be about, in the end.
