Samael is tall, dark, well dressed, and handsome.  Oh, and he’s a demon.  Claire McMullen meets Samael in a bar on a Friday night, while she is out with her roommate Sally, looking for hot guys.  Claire is immediately attracted to Samael, and after he rescues her from an attack in the bar parking lot, she just can’t get him off her mind.  Claire goes out on another date with him to a seafood restaurant, and the place catches fire.  Samael rescues her yet again and she feels even more attracted to him.  As time goes on, she begins to realize that there is more to Samael than meets the eye, and he eventually tells her that he is, in fact, a demon, who was thrown out of Heaven with Lucifer and the other angels.  Now that Samael has fallen for Claire, though, he wants to regain his soul and no longer do evil deeds.

Of course, once Samael decides this, both he and Claire are in danger from Hell.  Demons don’t like those who decide to break ranks with evil.  Can a girl and a demon find eternal love?

This is a fast-paced, romantic, supernatural novel.  Claire is very down to earth and you like her immediately.  Samael grows on you, and he really does fall in love and intend to love her forever.  You like him too and are rooting for them to make it as a couple.  Recommended for high school and adults.

 

Contains:  attempted rape, mention of suicide, battle between demons and Samael, mention of cat remains in bathtub.
