Green-Eyed Demon: Jaye Wells

Merry Christmas Eve!  I hope you and yours are having a fabulous time.  I'm still ticking down my top ten reads for 2011 and no list would be complete without the snarkalicious delight that is Jaye Wells.  The third book in her Sabina Kane series (Silver-Tongued Devil comes out next week so don't miss it!), Green-Eyed Demon features the showdown Sabina fans have been waiting for since we first met her royally bitchy grandmother in book one.  As always, Sabina has a colorful cast of supporting characters (of note is Giguhl who just rocks in his own right) and a tender, loving love interest in Adam (yes, I say that with a sigh).

Now, without giving anything away, there was one moment in this book where I damn near threw it across the room yelling "Noooooo!"  But I had faith in the lovely author and held on (by my fingernails in some places) and this book definitely scored a top ten slot.  I've since read it twice and enjoyed it just as much with each subsequent read.

Green-Eyed Demon

Green-Eyed Demon

The clock is ticking for Sabina Kane. Her sister has been kidnapped by her grandmother, the Dark Races are on the brink of war, and a mysterious order is manipulating everyone behind the scenes.

Working on information provided by an unlikely ally, Sabina and her trusty sidekicks–a sexy mage named Adam Lazarus and Giguhl, a Mischief demon–head to New Orleans to begin the hunt for her sister. Once there, they must contend with belligerent werewolves, magic-wielding vampires and–perhaps most frightening of all–humans.

But as much as Sabina is focused on surviving the present, the past won’t be ignored. Before she can save those she cares about most, she must save herself from the ghosts of her past.

This is the third book in the series that began with Red-Headed Stepchild.
