excellent romantic urban fantasy

Although his beloved died a hundred years ago, Aristos Petrakos still grieves his loss. Adding to his misery is his feeling of guilt as he believes that the love of his life Juliana Tiades loathed his shapeshifting and his wings so chose death by drowning in the Savannah River rather than an abomination like him. Sophie Lowery visits Ari and informs him that she believes Juliana's spirit lives at her house and is trying to contact him as if she does not comprehend she is dead. He does not believe her, but cannot ignore what she said just in case his Juliana needs help and perhaps a miracle. Juliana wants to be with her beloved Ari so has not accepted she died a century ago. An apparent female angel gives her a chance to return to corporal form and she takes it; not grasping the Faustian deal she made. However, Ari has doubts that this is Juliana and besides he spent ten decades in remorse believing she rejected him. Juliana has to persuade her Ari to listen to their hearts. This is an excellent Gods of Midnight (see Ted Kiss) romantic urban fantasy with a terrific premise as a second chance at love for a relatively short time together comes with the price of likely one and maybe two souls. Fast-paced throughout with a strong lead pair and a solid support cast to include Sophie the medium, a fuming Ares, a Djinn demon, and the Spartan Brotherhood; fans will need to set aside time as this is a one sitting red eye special.

RED DEMON - A KEEPER!

Red Demon - A Keeper! In this AMAZING Gods of Midnight series novel, Aristos Petrakos, an Immortal Spartan Warrior, refuses to believe that Juliana Tiades, the love of his life from another century, is calling to him from her suicide grave. His newly gained powers of sexual rawness and madness explode inside of him every time he thinks of her and that unbridled energy challenges him to his core. When Juliana returns to physical form, she convinces Ari that she is truly the Juliana he once loved, or is that true? How could she reappear in flesh and blood? Does darkness also inhabit her body? An evil that vows to destroy Aristos and those he loves, including Juliana? Deidre Knight weaves a story of Southern charm and djinn happenings that keeps the pages turning. Each word was treasured as I read the book, not wanting to miss one gripping and sensual beat of this Gods of Midnight novel. RED DEMON has a permanent spot in my library. It's a keeper. I have been captivated with the whole Gods of Midnight series and loved reading Ari and Juliana's story.
