After returning to Edinburgh, to retrieve their belongings, Lily and the gang find themselves running from more demons, this time on the earthly plane!
Once they give the demons the slip, they’ll find themselves on a quest—this time to free Lily’s aunt, Annice, from the clutches of Alaire.
Once reunited with Annice, they’ll find themselves on a much bigger quest—this one directly from the archangel, Uriel.
And along the way, Lily is still plagued with her strange attraction to Asterion, the Minotaur, a love which goes back hundreds of years. Will her bond with Tallis be enough or will Lily find herself falling in deeper with Asterion?

My Review:
Lily, Tallis, Bill, and Asterion can't catch a break. Sneaking back to Lily's apartment in Edinburgh proves that when they find themselves evading more demons. After escaping the demons, the group then embarks on a dangerous journey to free Lily's Aunt Annice. Upon completion of that mission, the group finds themselves assisting Uriel.
The feelings Lily has for Tallis and Asterion are simmering at the surface. Her dreams regarding the three of them performing the acts and ritual necessary are getting more frequent, leaving her more confused and anxious. The unusual way to release Lily's powers has her trying to skirt the issue, yet yearning to feel the full effect of them.
Lily is a strong character, rolling with the hand she's been dealt. Her ability to stay level-headed (most of the time) while attempting to find her aunt and complete Uriel's quest, all while coming face-to-face with Alaire, shows the excellence of her character. Tallis is a broody Scotsman but his feelings for Lily are quite evident and his presence has a soothing effect on Lily. Bill, Lily’s foul-mouthed guardian angel, is a hoot. His mishmash of the English language has me laughing out loud and shaking my head. Asterion is a fantastic character. He pines for Lily but even when the love for Tallis is evident, Asterion has her back and will defend her with his life. Each character is well-written and complex.
While this is book 9 in the Lily Harper series, I did not start reading the series from the beginning. I enjoyed the story very much and will eventually start reading the series from the beginning. Despite only reading a few of the previous books, I was able to move through the pages and most of the book fell into place. The author does a wonderful job providing some details from previous events to aid in keeping the reader abreast with the story.
I was provided a copy of this book to review.
