  Every time she turns around, there's another confusingly hot monster in her life. Ever since Mari inherited her father's criminal empire, she's been collecting monstrous enemies and lovers in equal number. The latter is great, but the former is beginning to pose a problem. When a demon she can't remember—from a past she can't forget—arrives, smelling like smoke and sin, she can't recall whether he's friend or foe. She may not be able to figure it out without confronting the memories of the ritual that kindled the power within her she's been avoiding for so long. Even though her instincts are screaming for her to put her faith in this newcomer, odds are better than good that he's trying to steal her power and take over the city she's been struggling to keep control over—and the odds should  never  be ignored in Sin City. My Review I thoroughly enjoyed this trilogy. I am sad to have come to an end. These characters have now become part of my life...

  Something ancient slumbers under Las Vegas. After Mari’s cruel father was killed by her gargoyle crush, she thought the takeover of his criminal empire would be easy, but she was wrong. In the aftermath of the conflict, Mari and her monster boyfriends discover that the true threat has been lurking under the city all along, and that Mari has been feeding him with her magic for years. Calling out to the creature in her moment of need might have been the only way to escape, but it also might have been a mistake. Because he says he’d burn the world for her and that rings true. His disturbing visits happen with increasing frequency and during her most private moments with her lovers—but she can’t deny her attraction to the danger he poses, even when he threatens the city and with it the people who work for her that she’s sworn to protect. The mysterious figure tempts her toward the darker side of desire, calling to something primal and hidden within her that she doesn’t understand. Ho...
