Cameo: Demon of Misery 
 Butterfly: on her lower back 
 Her curse: Misery, depression, tears, emotional pain. Her voise makes people commit suicides. It makes them crazy with sadness. Cameo was never happy. 
 Lazarus: Immortal warrior. Son of Typhon and Echidna, a Gorgon. King of the Realm of Grimm and Fantica 
 Supernatural ability: He is the son of the most feared immortal on Earth and a gorgon. Gorgons were a vicious race known for venomous snakes that grew from their scalps and an ability to turn anyone into stone with a simple meeting of eyes. Lazarus has a lot of things to inherit and to use. And it is not easy to kill him aEUR" although he is already beheaded and dead (eh, what???) 
 Like Alice on her way to Wonderland, Cameo, host to the demon of Misery, tumbled end over end down a long, dark cavern. 
 LetaEUR(tm)s start with the basic, first facts that catch the eye: 
 1.	The sequential number in the series. 13. For some people, it is their lucky number. For others, it brings misfortune and misery. Strong number. It suits Cameo. I have a feeling that Gena Showalter knew from the beginning of the series that book number 13 would be for Cameo. 
 2.	The book cover. Magnificent. I loved it. I loved that Cameo is looking at the readers and dares them to hear her sad story. I loved that Lazarus is only looking at her like nothing else matters. 
 3.	The title. The word aEUR~promiseaEUR(tm) always makes me expect strong feelings. When there is a promise, there is life. There are expectations. There is future. There is togetherness. 
 Cameo is LazarusaEUR(tm) I1/4I?I1/2I?I1/4I+-I1/2I-I+-, i.e. 
 in medical terms, a sick condition from which a man suffers when he is possessed by an obsessive idea or 
 in poetic terms the extensive desire for a woman that can bring a man to his knees 
 Lazarus is a man who loves his power, so he could certainly and easily kill Cameo to free himself. 
 Instead: 
 -	He burns for her for years and years and she does not have a clue.
