Paranormal Romance

THAT OLD BLACK MAGIC is the last book in the Living in Eden series and one the reader will look forward to. Eden Riley is possessed by a handsome, tricky demon who makes her wonder if she really wants to get rid of him. That demon, Darrak, appears to truly care for Eden. Their relationship has grown and developed since the first book. They have fallen into a camaraderie, as well as a relationship. Eden is cursed and that curse causes Darrak to stick to her like glue. When Eden's magic begins to get out of control, Darrak makes the hard decision of forcing her to seek outside help - but that help just may separate them forever.

Darrak remains just as funny, handsome, and charismatic as ever in this novel. Eden is slightly impulsive, random, and caring when it comes to Darrak, even when he frustrates her. Darrak proves that he truly loves Eden by asking her to seek outside help that could harm him. The secondary characters round out the book, they add emphasis to Eden and Darrak's relationship and keep the plot moving. The events themselves are fairly fast-paced, the scenes where Eden's magic begins to waver and spike and exciting and very fast-paced.

Fans of the series should run to get THAT OLD BLACK MAGIC. The ending is satisfying and slightly predictable, but the events leading up to the ending contain many twists and surprises that will keep readers on their toes. Overall, as the finale of the series, THAT OLD BLACK MAGIC, closes this world beautifully.

SUMMARY

Reluctant witch Eden Riley knows that codependent relationships aren't good, especially when you're possessed by a sexy but troublemaking demon. Darrak's physical form makes good girl Eden want to go bad, but the constant itch to use the soul-destroying black magic she's recently acquired might force Eden to explore her dark side in an entirely different way. And when her magic starts manifesting itself without conscious effort, both Eden's life and the possibility of a future with Darrak are threatened-since only one of them might be able to survive this...
