Alright, this one was not a good story. It follows Gabe and Sheba. Gabe is a nice guy. Sheba seems to delight in people misery, and the prom was definitely full of it. Turns out that Sheba is a lowly demon who's job is to bring peril and misery to people. She's doing a good job despite the good works of Gabe. We learn some details of the demon heirarchy through Jezebel, Sheba's sister, who happens to be higher up. Sheba is bent on causing Gabe some pain, but then something happens. Gabe senses she's in distress and he's wanting to help her. He's actually half-angel so when he catches Sheba's eyes she starts to feel content and happy. Once she's under his spell the only way it can be broken is if he tells her to go to hell.
I can see the practicality of it, but a full demon shouldn't be caught by a half-angel so quickly. It was okay for what it was.

i remember beginning to read this one...because you know...it's Stephenie Meyer lol but i only read the begining and i didn't like it much.
(ahh sadly this is no 'The Host'...i loved this book)
The Host was good, I agree, but this one was just lacking some pizzaz that we all know and love from Meyer's work. Maybe it was just that she didn't have enough space to get it all out. Maybe not.
Yeah it's not easy to create a whole new world with such a small wordage (but we can note that Kim Harrison did succeed in this task...:p )
Right, and I think that's what separates Harrison from Meyer. She has the ability to create a world that is easy to follow in a lot less time than Meyer can. Maybe it's just that Meyer is long winded, but it's definitely evident.
tee-hee i'm such a fan girl when it comes to Kim Harrison
