 After the death of her father and her own serious issues, Kara Maven decides to move back to her hometown to complete her senior year at Belman University. She settles into life on campus when her world is shaken by a handsome bad boy with a knack for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Dominic Benenati is a half-demon Damamah, or whisperer, whose role on earth is to ensure Hell’s population thrives by pushing humans to act upon their sinful thoughts. To complicate matters, enter Cayden Adams who is an angel determined to save Kara from Dominic’s influence. But does Kara really want to be saved?

   

  Acting on a whim, I brought my hands up and pressed my palms against his cheeks. They burned like a fever. I wasn’t sure if I’d ever get used to that. His black eyes latched onto mine. I waited as he struggled with something internally, pain and confliction clearly written across his face. Eventually, his expression shifted, the hard planes of his features softened into a sweet smile. As our faces drew closer, my breathing became ragged …with anticipation. When he wet his lips, it was nearly my undoing. My chest heaved with expectation, trembling each time his breath crept across my skin. I looked into his eyes; the crimson specks were recessing, like a fading tide within a murky sea of black ink. They were hypnotizing. “If I am under a trance, don’t ever rouse me,” I murmured. His eyes glimmered just before he pressed his warm lips to mine. Our mouths moved together in perfect unison, as if they were moulded to fit one another. The kiss deepened, and together we were swept away by our unravelling emotions, pawing at one another as though each other’s breath was the only oxygen we had. When we finally parted for air, we both stood staring at the other, panting. Dominic took my hands, his touch warming me like a soothing balm. He cast his eyes down to our intertwined fingers, his long lashes fanning out over his high cheekbones, and he said, “My fraying willpower makes it hard to walk away from you.” “Then don’t,” I whispered.
 

Maya's Review

I have to start by saying the I love the premise of this book. It takes the classic battle of good against evil and gives it a new spin and gave the concept of devil and angel on your shoulders a whole sexy new meaning.

Kara is a girl battling depression and loss. She is broken and reclusive and yet she manages to express herself beautifully in her art. Dominic is the ultimate sexy bad boy. He's got such evil in him and yet he is also fun and playful and you get pulled to him. Cayden is the gorgeous, safe and sweet angel and I couldn't help routing for him.

I have to say this story had a really slow start for me. Nothing really happened until halfway through. Although the story is layered in mystery, I really would have preferred a more developed paranormal layer. Also when the villain showed up, it lacked the bite and danger I was expecting.

Still this is a good romantic read. The intensity of Kara's struggles are done very well and the contrasts between Dominic and Cayden provided great entertainment. The author's writes beautifully and I'll happily read her again.
