As a human, Jake Hawkins sacrificed himself to save the
lives of others during a war he did not believe in or
understand. His reward comes in the form of a winged man,
who asks him to become a guardian to protect humankind.
Jake agrees and embraces the changes, such as teleporting,
which he has a hard time controlling and the appearance of
his own wings. Jake's fascination with the prophecies
surrounding the hierarchy of the guardians leads him to
ancient temples and the woman known as the Black Widow.
Over 120 years ago, during a vulnerable moment in her human
life, Alice Grey became bound by a Demon's bargain. A
bargain she's frantically searching for a way out of. Being
a guardian and protector of humankind has its perks, such
as the ability to research the prophecy surrounding the man
she must kill to fulfill her own destiny. She's following a
lead by searching for clues at the ancient temples when a
novice guardian collides with her, changing any outcome
from that point forward.
I loved the unique characters and the intricate storyline
in DEMON BOUND. Unfortunately, the plot flow was a bit
erratic, at times, and created an annoying cycle of
confusion. I would be into an exciting arc of the story
when something would occur out of the blue, which caused me
to go back and reread earlier sections to find the
connection, only to still be wondering how I got where I
was in the storyline. For me, this novel had the promise to
be really great, but it lacked the continuity to make it
so.
Novice Guardian Jake Hawkins has a power that could help
Alice Grey out of her deal with a demon. But in helping her,
he never expects to fall in love. Now fleeing for their
lives, they’re about to discover a secret that will change
their universe forever.
