Phenomenal

Author Sunny is Smokin' Red Hot everything she writes sizzles. Have a man close by to satisfy you after the read or you must have a cold shower. I've never read any of her books that didn't make me hot and bothered. If you prefer erotic romance she is one of the best authors you just can't pass up.

Lucinda has spent centuries doing nothing more than feed off of the Monére and play escort returning demons to the underworld. She's grown tired of her life until everything changes in one moment. When she meets Stefan, a rogue Monere warrior who is acting as guardian to a young mixed breed Jonnie, something grabs her long dead heart and she can't leave them behind.

Lucinda's cadre of companions grows when she returns, then claims, another rogue Monére, Nico, and in so doing finds young Talon, a Floradëur (Flower of darkness) who was stolen from the underworld as a child. As Lucinda and her companions vow to return Talon to his home and find the demon responsible for stealing him, she finds herself bound to her men in such a way that separation would mean their death.

Lucinda, Darkly is strongly tied to the Monére, Children of the Moon series yet still stands apart as a unique story in its own right. Reading the Monére series may help a reader become more invested in this story, but new visitors to the worlds Sunny has created will also enjoy this novel.

Meeting Lucinda in previous novellas in the Monére, Children of the Moon series made me want to learn more about her. So I was curious enough to pick up Lucinda, Darkly and read her story. While I think the Monére series is a bit more original and better written, I did enjoy this book. Lucinda is a study in contrasts, a demon with a heart and longing for a new life that even being the daughter of the High Lord of Hell can't give her.

Lucinda, Darkly is a classic quest novel, with a twist and spiced up with lots of hot sex. And is it ever hot! The passion between the characters made me blush on more than one occasion. Lucinda is a demon who actually has some human qualities, as evidenced in her attachments to the men and boys under her protection. I thought Lucinda spent a little too much time bemoaning her fate and trying to convince herself she must remain alone, but I found her to be a very likeable protagonist. I could not help but become emotionally involved in her story.

Great New Paranormal Romance with a Twist

This book is about Lucinda, demon dead. She used to be a Monere queen, but when she died she became the demon dead. She happens along a rouge Monere warrior that is protecting a half blood teenager. They are being attacked because they are thought to be vampires. She takes the half blood son to the hospital and meets up with the rogue, Stefan.

She then is sent to retrieve another rogue for another queen. When she gets to the queen she decides to claim the rogue for herself while claiming a creature from Hell that has been a slave since his birth. Deciding that she needs to claim Stefan also, she takes everyone to him. But Lucinda got a boost of energy from the creature of Hell. She knows that it will crash at anytime and that if that happens when not in Hell, she could die.

I loved how everything flowed. Great characters and action. I cannot wait for the next book and to start the Mona Lisa series.

Samhain Girl

Book was great, I loved the way she tied in the Mona Lisa Books but gave this book its own creatures and charaters. Sunny was able to make this book its own story. I love the fresh new take on the mixed genre. Sunny is a great writer!!
