It’s because of this that Ione’s books have never felt recycled, as sometime happen when series run this long. It is Ione’s powerfully written characters, her fabulous world building and the familiar plots that kept me coming back again and again.

It is that dynamic that sets these books apart from others in the genre.

Family good, bad or in-between is what matters in this series, how no matter what the blood bond, the social bonds are what tie these characters together and even when you might want to kill someone or disembowel them they are still you family. These books are about family, which happens to be comprised of beings of Heaven, Hell, some morally grayish ones, and the staff of Underground General (the hospital where a lot of the characters, or their spouses work). Revenant like all Ione’s book is not a typical urban fantasy/ paranormal romance, yes good and evil clash, but what is at the heart of all of Ione’s Demonica books is the family. Ione set the paranormal romance genre on it’s collective ear and has written imaginative, fun, witty, sarcastic, irreverent and thrilling books. Demons as the not so bad guys, what the HELL! I doubted that Ione, even knew what genre she was writing in. I have to admit that when I picked up the first Demonica book, Pleasure Unbound (2008), and read it was just floored and was not sure I would even continue to read after the first twenty percent. I hope not as I have come to love these books and this author. This is the eleventh book in the Demonica series and the sixth in the Lords of Deliverance series by Ione, the acknowledgement at the start of the book make it sound like it may possibly be the last of these combined series. Karen Ponders “Wonderfully Wickedly Paranormal Romance”Ĭan you get misty eyes while reading a paranormal romance? I got pretty misty eyed while reading Larissa Ione’s Revenant.
