The God of Pain Dolor is summoned from is his sleep by a human. His job is to torture this human's brother.... But the idiot doesn't know that calling to a God is never without consequences...
The awakening of Dolor releases Leta from her slumber too. After putting Dolor in stasis and went to a century long sleep to recover from the fight, she never tought any human would be evil enough to kill the one he loved to gain a favor from Dolor.
So she enters Aidan's world, the intended victiom of Dolor. His pain and anger will fuel her powers and together they might be able to destroy Dolor, even if this means her betrayal might be the final blow to Aidan.
Ok, let's get to the point... Yes, the book is thin... Yes, the print is large... yes, this might have been good for an anthology...
Been there done that... Personally I like the fact that, even if it's all of the above, I'm still able to put it between the other Kenyons... So I didn't mind it's a book on it's own, even in HC and that I paid the money for it... Get over it...
So I dealt with that topic, now the story itself...
I liked it...
We all have people we trusted and cared about betraying us... Trying to set up everyone around us against us. Lord knows it's a subject that's always fitting...
So when I learned about the betrayal Aidan suffered, from those he thought cared about him and not his money or fame.. about the hatred his brother Donnie deals with... My whole heart reached out for him...
It was so heartbreaking how he turns away from everybody so they won't be able to hurt him anymore...
Until Leta appears on his front door... She's as determined to stay within as he is determined to show her out... Only as a Godess she can summon a snow storm to help her case... Equally bruised by life, she should have no emotions at all, since she is a Oneroi. But being around Aidan makes her feel things she shouldn't be feeling anymore... More determined than even to keep him from Dolor and sending the God back to his stasis, she has to gain his trust, and fast...
I truly liked this book... After some of the other reviews, after Devil may cry, I was a bit hesitant in starting to read this book... But I shouldn't have been... I missed the great quotes Kenyon is able to create, but I could really sympatize with Aidan's feelings... It's the way of the world that people who have nothing try to benifit from those who have worked for it and still envy and hate them for it...
It's a nice in between read, that due to his lenght won't take you long to finish, but in my opinion, it's worth your time! So I'll consider to see DMC as an 'accident de parcours' and keep looking forward to August 5th when Ash' story hits the shelves.
