Paranormal Romance

One would think that when a demon inhabits your body half of the time, absolutely nothing could freak you out. One would be wrong. Eden Riley has had a crazy year. She recently learned that she is nephilim (a child of a human woman and an angel father), a black witch, and became possessed by Darrak, a demon. Although she tries to stay away from her dark powers, they keep trying to emerge, smudging her soul. Meanwhile, as celestial and dark energies fight in her, Darrak is immersed in the fight. Because she is having trouble controlling the dark magic, they decide to get some outside viewpoints on the entire situation, as they care deeply for each other, but the options seem dire, particularly as a sexual relationship (during the times Darrak isn't inhabiting her body, obviously) messes with the sex magic that initially forced Darrak to possess people. Did I mention they know the devil? And that Eden's neglectful dead mother has decided to take an interest? THAT OLD BLACK MAGIC has so much going on! There may be numerous angles within the different plot lines, Michelle Rowen fuses them beautifully so the reader always knows what is going on. THAT OLD BLACK MAGIC has closed out the Living In Eden series and I must say, it has been a fun trip!

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...
