![]() The heroine takes the mission to find a spell that holds her people prisoner only because the man who has said spell is her mate. So, better than three stars, but not by much. Not that it ever gets really bad, there was just so much going on that the emotional storyline kind of got lost in the action, and the resolution of the conflict within Conor is a little too pat. Then the second half comes, and when Mika's deception is revealed, it pretty much all goes downhill after there. The first half is charming and sexy, and watching Mika pursue Conor is hilarious. Which is all fine and dandy, until she realizes that Conor is her "vishtau" mate, something like a human soul mate. The demon Council has asked Mika to find the incantation and steal it from McCabe. Other demons must be summoned in order to cross - unless Conor McCabe reads an incantation he was given, which will not only free all demons, but will also hold all the demons in his thrall. As a half-human, Mika is rare in that she can cross the veil at whim. Mika Noguchi is a half-human demoness from Orcus, an alternate universe that is protected from Earth by a veil. This book was a little better, if only because I'm sure I'll remember at least the first half. I couldn't remember why I had Patti O'Shea's other books ( In the Midnight Hour, In Twilight's Shadow) rated at three stars when I didn't remember anything bad about them, but I guess the fact that I just couldn't remember them at all beyond a vague recollection of the plot, is reason enough that they only rated three.
