Eva Tennant, like everyone at The Aegis, hates demons. But she loves her job as Deputy Spokesperson for the global demon-slaying organization, and she’s excited to be in the running for Chief Spokesperson. All she has to do is not screw up the two-week exchange program with The Aegis’s rival agency, the Demon Activity Response Team. But things go horribly wrong when a murder turns her into a fugitive from justice and puts a demonic target on her back.

Logan, son of the Horseman of the Apocalypse known as Death, has dedicated his life to fighting demons alongside his colleagues at DART. He loves fighting, females, and his pet hellhound, Cujo. What he doesn’t love is The Aegis, whose leadership attempted to slaughter him at birth. Understandably, he balks when he’s ordered to protect an Aegis Guardian responsible for the deaths of his friends. Really, he’d rather feed her to Cujo.

But when an old enemy rises from the ashes, Eva and Logan find themselves giving into temptation even as they sacrifice the things…and people…they love the most.

“I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.”

I was a bit worried about starting this book before I finished the actual Demonic series, as I might miss something important. Yet, I did not!! I love this world Larissa gives us; it is full of everything good and evil and a bit of spice. 

I hope we have more of this story and it turns into a series. The children of the four horsemen will be the center of it all. 

Logan works for DART and is the son of Thanatos and Regan, who have their own book in the Demonica series ( I highly suggest you try it out); while humans do know of the supernatural in the world, that doesn't mean that they don't need protecting. Logan finds himself liking Eva, who works for The Aegis, who are all against demons. So you just know how this is supposed to go, right? It seems that Eva has some things that are going on with her, and once everything comes together, you will be left going. Wow! With Logan and Eva teaming up and stopping the evil that still lurks and trying to find a bit of romance with each other, you know you are in for a ride! If you have yet to read any of the Demonica series by this author, just jump into it. You won't be disappointed! I can't wait for the next book in this series to see which child of the Horseman is next on our list.
