Book Review | Forged in Fire — As a Juliette Cross fan, I’ve slept on this for too long.

Genevieve Drake has never been the helpless kind of girl. Never needed a man to come to her rescue. That is, not until her twentieth birthday when some dude nearly chokes her to death in an alley and a hot stranger splits the guy in half, rips a monster from inside, and incinerates it into ash.

The hot guy? Jude Delacroix—Master of Demons. Now her guardian, whether she likes it or not. But she’s seriously beginning to like it.

The dude choking her? One of many demons from the underworld trying to abduct or kill her. As the prime target of the demon prince, Danté, who has all kinds of lascivious and sadistic plans, she has no problem accepting Jude’s protection.

Why Genevieve? She’s a Vessel, one who is born to serve the Light but can be corrupted and used as a weapon for darkness. Until that fateful night, she had no idea this world even existed. Now, she just wants to survive it.

Review

With Juliette Cross being one of my favorite authors (and friend), I’ve been sleeping on this series for way too long. Forged in Fire has a new cover and will be re-released with some updated content.

As I was reading this, I was seeing some character favorites that pop up in some of her newer series and I’m so disappointed in myself for waiting THIS long. I cry in shame, but better late than never.

Forged in Fire is such a great start to this series, the adventure and downright sizzling chemistry between Genevieve and Jude. Sigh, Juliette really does write the best characters!

Demons, angels … MEMORABLE, DO NOT FORGET said demons and angels 😉

I’ve got the next book on my kindle and I’m diving right in!
