The Compact of Sorcerers, a brotherhood sworn to guard the wall between the human world and the demon realm, have relied only on one another for centuries.But now there's a traitor in their midst...Struggling medical student Clea Masters knows she's unique.Ever since her parents' death, she's been kept safe by an inexplicable force inside her that knocks back any threat.But when a demon attacks her, Clea is launched into a dangerous world she never knew existed.Her only ally is a lethal, seductive man who arouses a hunger stronger than anything she has ever imagined...Compact of Sorcerers member Ciarran D'Arbois will not let harm befall Clea.In her, he sees a strength he admires and a body he longs to caress.Yet demons are determined to break down the portal Ciarran has sworn to protect, using Clea as their key.Now as a rogue sorcerer leads the enemy ever closer, Ciarran and Clea have only one hope.Both must surrender to their darkest passions--and unleash their most dangerous, untested deisres.DEMON'S KISS--Which is more deadly, his passion or his power?

Ciarran arrives at the scene of a car accident. The gate between human realm and demon realm has been opened so he is there to close it. Both adults are dead, their souls out of their bodies and there is nothing Ciarran can do about it. The child isn't dead yet, but is so severly wounded that she's as good as dead. All Ciarran can do is use his magic to ease her pain. But something extraordinary happens. The child steals his magic to heal herself and this leaves him unprepared for the demon attack...

Twenty years later Clea is attacked by a demon and saved by Ciarran. This event turns her world upside down. The demons are after her because she is the key to open the gate between human and demon realm and Asag wants to release a powerful demon. But Ciarran is there to stop him and to protect Clea. There is only one problem... When Clea gets near to him she draws his magic from him. Just like she did 20 years ago. But with a traitor in their midst, there is noone Ciarran can trust to guard his Clea. But with her stealing his magic and thus making it harder to fight his inner demon, there isn't an option that's appealing...

What can I say... doh29
I loved Eve's gothic romance, she even made me like her futuristic book!
So it wasn't a suprise when I just loved her new paranormal novel! Eve Silver has a talent for describing a world so colorful you feel as if you're lseeing it right before your own eyes.
She created a world that is unique. A band of sorcerers determined to protect the world against demons and keep the gates of the demon world closed. We meet Ciarran, Darqun, Javier and Dain all males that scream for a story of their own!

Ciarran is a loner. He likes his solitude. It makes it a bit easier keeping his own private demon in his cage. But with CLea his soul cries out for her. He's a sorcerer of the light, feeling responsible for a child he shouldn't have saved. He will save Clea from the demons, even if it means his own death!

Clea is a fighter. Whatever comes her way ... she deals with it... Even if it means she has to face the existence of demons and sorcerers and magic. Even if it means she is part of that world. I loved Clea. The way she handles all this. Strong, brave... She's a heroine worthy of our hero.

I loved the concept that they couldn't be apart yet being together meant danger too... love22 Eve Silver did a terrific job !!!
The attraction between them is instant and as a reader you feel the passion sizzle and you can't wait for them to give in to it. They're ying and yang, two halves of the same soul. And the author knows how to make her readers feel it.

I can't say I missed anything in this book... There is the occassional humor, lots of sensuality ohyababy and a well written plot!
We have secundary persona's that tickle my interest just enough to have me looking forward to the next one, and the one after that... This story is a very good start of what appears to become a terrific new series that adds something new to the world of paranormal stories.
When Demon's hunger will be released I will get that as soon as possible... But since Eve is on my auto-buy list, that's no surprise...

Demon's kiss is a book I can highly recommend.
