The Demon Side Paperback – July 6, 2013

if i could give this book 10 stars i would. the author really brings you into this world and keeps you there. it is one of those books that you do not want to put down as it keeps your attention. its an easy read that makes you think!

I read both books back to back. I couldn't put them done. As an educator it was so refreshing to read such quality writing with captivating plots, character twists, and intensity. An absolute recommend.

Bring on The Angel Side....RA and Etta had me hooked from the beginning, throw in Gabriel and Amy and it sweetness the pot. Another furious page turning read and now I am left with a wait....

Best piece of work I've read since les miserales.! What a truly gifted writer.. I read the demon side too and the human side was equally as good..

Loved this book.

I was so very eager to read this sequel after that exciting first book that left things in a sad place for Etta and Ra. As follow up stories go, this one took me on an exciting suspenseful ride before it finished with quite a few surprise reveals.This one absolutely needs to be read in order behind, The Demon Side, so that the world-building and story arc make sense. It picks up about a year from where the other one left off.Rahovart's arch status has been returned to him and he does the best he can at his tasks, but he has not been able to stay away from Etta. He checks in on her life and dreams of a time they can be together. His actions do not go unnoticed in the heavens so he is given an ultimatum choice.Ra chooses to return to Etta in human form and try to win her once again the way his demon form won her before without revealing who he is and what went on before. He is joined at the last minute by Gabriel who is also now in human form. Rahovart learns really fast that getting back into Etta's life will not be simple. She is back where she was before seeing the demons and living recklessly. Ra is forced by the agreement into a position of not being able to help her. He has to watch a slick human guy help her and to receive her loathing while her father watches him with suspicion and no desire for Ra to be around his daughter. Gabriel is ever distracted by Etta's best friend Amy.Ra finally realizes that he has done her no favors by coming back so he makes the decision to bow out of her life leaving her to be guarded over by the others and let the others figure out why the demonic activity continues around Etta. His decision lasts for a few months before the danger escalates and he is forced to take a hand and be willing to make huge personal sacrifices for Etta.The plot on this one was exciting. I enjoyed the blend of the action and the character building to the plot. The story is told all from Rahovart's point of view and through much of it he struggles hard because he is still learning so much about himself and others. I enjoyed seeing him really grow and finally understand what is really important both for himself and Etta. The story is just a little bit about the romance because much of the time Etta is with someone else and has no idea who Rahovart really is. I wasn't really thrilled with the fact that he had to be cruel to her showing his demon trait as part of his agreement because that felt weird that the God figure would ask that of an angel or that he would allow it done to a human. I felt that some of those reveals in the end were was a bit over the top, but it did lead to all threads tied together neatly. The final scene was do or die that was for sure.There is moderate bad language, mild violence and no sex in this one, but it would probably appeal more to older teens and adults.I would recommend this book/series for those who enjoy YA Paranormal Romance involving angels and demons.

I received this book to give an honest review. 4.5 starsSo I really enjoyed book one "The Demon Side" and I figured this would be just as good. There are some good fight scenes. A lot more of Ra trying to win Etta's heart over by being human.Ra is not thinking of what his actions are doing to everyone. He has still been visiting Etta even though she doesn't know it. So when God gives him a choice on what to do with Etta Ra picks the only thing he can. To be with her but in a human form, not the handsome Angel he is.Ra has a challenge to win Etta back she is grown now and in college. She is no longer a young girl she is living with the demons but they seem not to be affecting her like before.Now towards the end you get a bit of a twist on who Etta really is and I thought that to be pretty cool. And her dad is not all human either I thought that was pretty cool. God is trying to get Ra to learn that he needs to realize everything he does has an affect on someone and this is a lesson that Ra ends up learning. Good and evil are still fighting for Etta and who will win?Now a funny part in here was when Gabriel and Ra are both human and they are realizing their human male parts.Gabriel "Oh, please. I'm packing an anaconda compared to your earthworm."To which Ra responds back, "It's not the size that is of any importance. It's all in how you use it."Just them talking about their male parts was way to funny being as they are angels. I do wonder if there will be a third book in this series. As I do not see Lucifer giving up Etta that quickly.And what one review said "maybe another book called "The Angel Side." Now that would be a good read and an awesome title to go with the other two books. :D

This book was an excellent follow up to The Demon Side. I had no problems falling right back into the story even though I had read the first quite a while ago.The characters are well-developed and interesting and their world is much like ours. In fact it could actually be ours and we just don’t see the demons and angels around us.The setting is very realistic and you see the characters battling not only with the battle they are engaged in for good versus evil but also with many modern issues we all deal with – money, school, fights with parents and friends.I don’t want to say too much about the story and cause spoilers. But we do see some old favorites and some new interesting characters in this one. And its great to see what happened after the first book.I really enjoyed seeing the characters evolve and there was a twist at the end that was completely unexpected. Actually there ended up being more than one. I am sure I read about there being another book. I cant wait to read it and find out what happens next and how these twists we encountered might change things for both sides.This and the first are quick reads. And I recommend you read them in order. This is a series to catch up on now, you want to be ready to see what happens next.
