Eva Tennant, like everyone at The Aegis, hates demons. But she loves her job as Deputy Spokesperson for the global demon-slaying organization, and she’s excited to be in the running for Chief Spokesperson. All she has to do is not screw up the two-week exchange program with The Aegis’s rival agency, the Demon Activity Response Team. But things go horribly wrong when a murder turns her into a fugitive from justice and puts a demonic target on her back.
Logan, son of the Horseman of the Apocalypse known as Death, has dedicated his life to fighting demons alongside his colleagues at DART. He loves fighting, females, and his pet hellhound, Cujo. What he doesn’t love is The Aegis, whose leadership attempted to slaughter him at birth. Understandably, he balks when he’s ordered to protect an Aegis Guardian responsible for the deaths of his friends. Really, he’d rather feed her to Cujo.
But when an old enemy rises from the ashes, Eva and Logan find themselves giving into temptation even as they sacrifice the things…and people…they love the most.
I think I cut my paranormal teeth with the Demonica series. I adored that series and happily jumped into the Four Horsemen when that released. So I was very excited to discover a “next generation” book.
LOT focuses on Thanatos’ eldest, Logan. He founds himself in the middle of a competing agency swap that goes awry. Angel, human and demon politics are out of control. Now seems like the perfect time to fall in love. 🤨. The relationship between Logan and Eva was a bit enemies to lovers~ish, but they were never really enemies. It was the everything else going on around them that got into the way until almost the very end.
The dynamics with the next generation characters were interesting (and sometimes confusing). I’ll admit those interactions were more interesting to me than the love story between Logan and Eva.
A decent read, but not one of my favorites from this author.
