Rydstrom Woede, Demon & Sabine, Sorceress 
 Okay, this was definitely love-at-first-sight for the fallen demon king of Rothkalina and for the Queen of Illusions: 
 "So you're just a cold, heartless bitch." 
 "As much as you're a self-righteous, miserable prick." 
 Sabine has known that she is Rydstrom's mate for hundred of years and she has tried to be prepared for their first time. She learned all the tricks of seduction; she was reading about his life; his conquests and his battles from afar. And she stayed a virgin. Because it has been predicted that their offspring, their son will be powerful and unique. There should not be any doudt when she was finally pregnant. 
 Unfortunately, nobody informed Rydstrom that his future mate has already been born and that she is a detestable sorceress. Thus, he was trying to find his mate among every available and willing demoness. More than a thousand years later, he is too bored to try another female. There is no challenge for him. 
 For a demon prince, attempting females was critical. He'd bedded one after another, trying to find his consort. Rydstrom had taken more females in the first century of his life than he had during the fourteen that followed. 
 And then Sabine appears as an instrument of his worst enemy, fools Rydstrom, ties him up with magic and spends days and days "poking the bear", i.e. the demon. Not a very clever thing. 
 To be honest, I got bored after a while. I think the seduction scenes maybe could have been a bit shorter. 
 Anyways, this is another amazing book of the series. Rydstrom will have to win his consort and get his Kingdom back. 
 Winning Sabine will be actually harder than he thought it would be, because he understands only demonesses' behavior and Sabine is completely different species: 
 Sabine gave a scoff. "I could be virtuous, if I wanted to be." 
 In an incredulous tone, he said, "You don't know the meaning of virtue!" 
 "Of course I do-it means your thong must be white." 
 But it doesn't matter because she belongs to Rydstrom and he will never let her go: 
 "That sorceress might be an evil bitch, but she's my evil bitch. And I'll have no other." 
 Worth mentioning: Valkyrie Nyx plans to visit the Lords of the Underworld (Gena Showalter's world) in Budapest. Her appearance will be described in book "The Darkest Whisper", where she will confuse Torin.... 
 ...Every so often he would catch a glimpse of a beautiful woman walking through town. Long black hair, exotic eyes that were bright one moment and glazed the next. She'd pause in her stride, smile, frown, then kick back into gear. When the wind caressed her, ruffling her hair, Torin would catch the barest hint of...pointed ears? Whether he was seeing things or not, the sight of those ears made him hard as a rock. He had the strangest urge to lick them. 
 She wore a T-shirt that said Nixie's IAD House O' Fun, and she had earbuds in her ears. 
 What was a Nixie?
