I didn't really like it. This is the story of Riona, a Pure Soul witch, and her demon fighting team, Demi-God Dee and Father Marcello "Marc" Angeletti. It seems Riona had a relationship with a fallen demon named Jerry, who spends most of the book trying to warn her of Lucifer's machinations. Jerry has fallen in love with Riona, and knows that Lucifer is planning on using her growing love for Father Marc, and his for her against them.

The book spends most of the time having Riona and Marc learn that their specific moral compasses and relationship in the group would damn them both to hell of they gave into their growing love for each other and consummated the relationship. There is also a new neighbor by the name of Lucy, who is tempting Riona. Every time they are close to getting intimate, something pulls one of the other away. Which doesn't make any sense to me. Lucy aka Lucifer gets pulled away from having sex with Riona, because he gets a call letting him know the Jerry has broken away to the human world in an attempt to warn Riona. But since he's with her, I don't know why he's allow himself to be pulled away. The best way to attached to Riona, emotionally that is, is to have sex with her. Then why leave to basically reprimand Jerry? Makes no sense.

Also, when Marc dies after the back and forth of, I can't let you, but I can't let you sacrifice yourself between Marc and Riona, he's dead and we realize that Jerry is actually the first fallen Keystone, Gaius Gallicus, who is brought back in Marc's body.

This story was all over the place. Who is Riona's father? What is this dagger all about? Why is Gaisu permitted to come back? What about love winning out and why did Marc decide to damn his soul by sleeping with Riona, when he was told what would happen to both of them, if they did? I just didn't get it. I though the story was slow and where it could have been interesting, that story was basically dropped. The premise was interesting, but just didn't work in execution.

I'm sorry I just didn't get it.
