The sex is darker, hotter, wickeder, and wonderfully erotic; the vengeful enemy is diabolical, and the story line is unparalleled. Ione is a master at creating tortured, sexy bad boys who are full of flaws and make you melt… Desire Unchained may only be book two in her Demonica series, but I’m completely head-over-heels in love. I have never been so enthralled with a series before. With the end of each book, I’m left desperately wanting more.”
