Not even all of the teasers. Torri, you absolutely slayed this book! Even after finishing it, I can't think of anything else. I can't even start another book at this time. I am calling it now, but The Labyrinth will be a number one bestseller! As soon as I started reading this book, I was instantly swept within the pages of this story. I ...cough, cough mean Rissa could not get enough of Ten's touch. Forget human men, give me a tall, purple, horned demon. When Ten would call Rissa "deliciae", my knees may have gotten weak. While this book is about Ten and Rissa, I do hope to see Ten's friend, Griffin in the near future get his own story. Torri - You inspired me to write a haiku: When I heard his voice It called to my deepest, darkest, soul With him, I was home

But the two will have to work together -- even when separated -- to prove that their love is strong enough to overcome even the deadliest of battles. My Review First off I have to say Joelle and Luc forever. These two will not let a "little" thing like the devil stop them from being together. In this final book, Joelle is the one in charge. She kicked some Mare butt! She was not afraid of anyone or anything.  With each book, I have grown to love Luc and Joelle more and more deeply. As I said with the second book that Joelle and Luc are the Bonnie and Clyde of Hell. Luc would go to the depths of Hell for Joelle. These two may have been fighting to keep Earth from being overrun but they still had time for hot sex. If yo...

There where several times where Joelle did not let Van, a demon push her buttons but pushed back.  I was not expecting the twist in this story. Boy is it a twist. Yet, if anyone can find a solution, it is Joelle and Luc. They are the Bonnie and Clyde of hell. ...
