Creed is a Godseeker assassin who is investigating stories of missing children and his investigation leads him to an isolated ranch. Creed is half demon but has lived his life as a human, during this time after the demons have finally been banished; it isn't a good idea to be anything but human. It is safe to say this DEMON CREED has a mission and nothing will change that.

Nieve, once a beloved daughter is now a slave to a cruel man, all because of a demon seduction and half demon child. When Creed comes to the ranch seeking answers her master demands she find out why he is really here. She will do as he demands if he will tell her what he did with her son. It all backfires when she realizes that Creed is of demon blood and she is afraid of him. In the aftermath, Nieve is soon free to search for her son but finds the world is just as cruel as her old master was and must put her trust in one man the ... DEMON CREED.

DEMON CREED is a fast paced, action packed, sexy book that takes the reader into a western style world gone crazy. Author Paula Altenburg takes us back into her Demon Outlaws series after the demons have been banished and everyone is trying to recover after centuries of fear and danger.

Creed is part demon but he has honor, a strong sense of duty and a thing for the underdog. When we first meet Nieve she seems scared of her own shadow but as her memories return and she and Creed begin to travel together you see the real woman. She's smart, tough and will do whatever it takes to get to her son. They make an intriguing couple though both are very busy dancing around the other. He will continue to honor his duty as an assassin and if that means a side trip from the search so be it. She will continue to distrust him for his blood though once she gets to know him she begins to understand the complexity of this man. They both come to realize that what matters most is the love they feel growing for each other.

I enjoyed DEMON CREED even with the bigoted attitudes toward women and anyone not entirely human ... that seemed to add to the post apocalyptic feel of the storyline. I also liked seeing people from her former books coming into play especially with Airie (Demon's Daughter) playing a strong role against the bad "guy". It's a shame DEMON CREED is the final book of this series I had hoped to see more of this world in future books.
