Limos, the main character of this novel, is far from the everyday heroine. She is promised to the Devil and the Devil certainly wants her badly. This is bad news for Arik, who has taken a sudden and deep interest in Limos. When he steals a kiss and lands in the literal Hell, he has to endure torture endlessly. When he is finally freed, he realizes that the torture never really ended. He must decide whether to risk the world or accept the love between Limos and himself-provided she's willing.

Limos is a fun character. She is certainly no shy, timid heroine. She is brave, clever, and desirable. It is hard not to like her. Arik is a surprisingly kind hero, he might strike the reader as far more gentle than the typical hero in Ione's novels. Arik's compassion and kindness will earn him a place in the reader's heart. The secondary characters, particularly the Devil, are very interesting and integral to the story-though the book does mainly focus on Limos and Arik.

The events are fast-paced and exciting. The book is hard to put down and the reader will likely finish the book in a matter of days.
