5 stars This book introduces Pia, a succubus suffering from a broken heart, Sin, an ancient, powerful vampire and Cooper, a gentle wolf-shifter, both of whom rescue her from near-death. She doesn’t want to be rescued, thinking to herself, “My demon nature couldn't feed if I couldn't escape the room. I hadn't expected take-out to show up." I loved Pia’s sense of humor, referring to her rescuers as “take-out” because she feeds from them to survive. Although Sin is, in many ways, a complete jerk, there is some part of him that cares about Pia because he takes care of her and seems to enjoy her company. She is certain she can never fall in love with him, but I find this hard to believe. She confides in him and treats him as one might treat a best friend, plus she enjoys sex with him. At one point, she crawls into bed with him during the day while he sleeps and cuddles up to his lifeless body to cry. Later, he asks her, "Why did I wake with my shoulder smelling like dried tears and snot?" If he didn’t care for her, would he put up with that? The book ends with Sin hinting about an incubus he thinks would be a good match for Pia. She shuts him down, but it’s clearly foreshadowing of what will happen in the next book. I’m looking forward to it. September 29, 2020
