great book with surprising twists and turns. Not as fabulous as the hype led me to believe, however.

*sigh* This book mostly just reminded me of why I don't typically read books labeled as romances. Basic plot: Sera gets possessed by a demon who wants to atone for being naughty, joins up with a network of similarly infected humans, and ends up saving the world from Hell on earth. Complaint #1- formulaic plot. Normal chick inducted into weird brotherhood and is different from anything they've ever seen, never seen that one before... Look, they're having lifesaving sex; look, they're having affirming life sex; BLARGH. Complaint #2- boring formulaic writing. It took me over a week to read a book I picked up as a "light" read to break my normal pattern, largely because I kept getting bored and easily distracted. And why do characters in these books never have names normal people would have??? Complaint #3- unlikable love interest. I'm not even going to describe him. He annoyed me that much. This is supposed to be the first book in a series. I will NOT be reading any more. Blech.

The new cover on the Angry Robot re-print is nothing if not stunning. I have spent nearly an hour in total looking at the cover, and fully intend to look at it some more. If you don't believe me go to your local bookshop (if you still have one) and marvel at the cover. This is a well written book that skips through the plot towards the finale. Although well written it was hard for me to enjoy this book because I just don't get the whole steampunk scene. I know that now makes me a pariah, but I just don't enjoy the setting, I just prefer my punks of the cyber kind. If you haven't read a steampunk novel before then I would recommend giving this one a try, or if you are a fan of this sub-genre. For me though I just didn't like the setting and that made the book rather flat for me.
