Book Reviews of Private Demon: A Novel of the Darkyn (Signet Eclipse)
Book Review: From J. Kaye's Book Blog
Summary: 4 Stars
PRIVATE DEMON is the second installment of the Darkyn series after IF ANGELS BURN. Lynn Viehl brings back the characters - Alexandra Keller and Michael Cyprien - as they play an equally important role to capture Thierry Durand, this book's hero.
Thierry centers in on Jema Shaw at a homicide crime scene, believing she can lead him to members of the Brethren, an evil group of monks set on destroying the Darkyn. He enters her dreams in order to discover information, but loses his heart instead.
One thing the book lacks is hot steamy romance scenes. Instead, the reader gets dark snippets inside Thierry mind which explains his past. Also through Jema's dreams a bond is formed with Thierry that goes beyond physical.
One thing that should be highlighted about this book is Viehl's ability to add subplots without disturbing the story. In J.R. Ward's book, DARK LOVER, the extra characters distracted, where as Viehl blends the characters together to perfection.
Staying true to the dark motif, there be no fairy tale, everyone walks away happily ever after ending. I don't want to say more as it might ruin it for the reader. You'll have to judge whether or not you like it or not. I admire the author for not taking the safe road and veering into new territory.
The only problem I had with the story was the same as with the first and that's believability. I just didn't buy the story hook, line, and sinker. Even so, it's one of the best dark fantasy series out on the market. I would suggest you start with the very first book, IF ANGELS BURN.
