Z- coverTITLE: “Z” A 1001 Dark Nights novella
SERIES #:Demonica/Houseman # 11.8
CHARACTERS: Zhubaal & Vex
AUTHOR: Larissa Ione
PUBLICATION DATE: April 26, 2016
ORDER LINKS:Amazon | Paperback  

Zhubaal, fallen angel assistant to the Grim Reaper, has spent decades searching for the angel he loved and lost nearly a century ago. Not even her death can keep him from trying to find her, not when he knows she’s been given a second chance at life in a new body. But as time passes, he’s losing hope, and he wonders how much longer he can hold to the oath he swore to her so long ago…

As an emim, the wingless offspring of two fallen angels, Vex has always felt like a second-class citizen. But if she manages to secure a deal with the Grim Reaper — by any means necessary — she will have earned her place in the world. The only obstacle in the way of her plan is a sexy hardass called Z, who seems determined to thwart her at every turn. Soon it becomes clear that they have a powerful connection rooted in the past…but can any vow stand the test of time?

 

 

Excerpt:

“So,” she said, changing the subject before she got all sappy or started crying or some shit. “What do Ipsylum do? You said they’re warriors?”

He nodded. “Highly trained, very powerful. In some ways, they’re more powerful than archangels. If angels are Heaven’s army, then Ipsylum are the army’s special ops team.”

“Huh.” She idly ran her fingers down the stiletto heel of one boot to test the sharp edge of the spikes that could punch through metal, bone, and flesh during a fight. Her mother’s design. “What does Heaven need with a special ops team?”

Zhubaal came to his feet in a graceful surge and moved to the glassless window next to her bed. A breeze ruffled his hair as he looked out over the courtyard.

“Heaven needs specialized people to assassinate powerful demons, spy in areas of Sheoul where not even Archangels can go, rescue human or angel hostages from demons…shit like that.” He clenched his hands at his sides, and she wondered if he regretted his choice to leave his angelic life.

“That’s awesome.” Why couldn’t she have been born an angel instead of an emim with useless powers like attracting souls like flypaper or being able to walk in stiletto heels on any surface without ever loosing her balance? Sure, she had killer reflexes and was stronger than your average human or demon, but still, in a world where angels could fly and demons could shapeshift or become invisible or manipulate the weather, she had to stretch to be considered even average. “If I were an angel, I’d want to be one of those.”

He snorted. “Somehow, I’m not surprised.”

“Why?”

Frowning, he glanced down at her arm and the remaining two glyphs. “Because you’re the polar opposite of Laura.”

“What does she have to do with it?”

“Laura was also an Ipsylum.”

“No,” she blurted, seriously thrown by that. The way he’d spoken of this Laura person made her sound like a milquetoast. “Really?”

“Really.” There was a tap at the door, and he answered it, thanking whoever was on the other side for a plate piled with sandwiches and fruit. He brought it over to her and placed it on the mattress beside her. “Eat. I have a feeling we’re going on a little trip soon.”

REVIEW PROVIDED BY: Kelly
NUMBER OF HEARTS: 4 1/2

“One does not simply summon the King of Hell”

Another amazing addition to Ms. Ione’s Demonica/Horseman series. I have been wanting to know more about Zhubaal for many books now. We have gotten glimpse of his past but we have never got any answers, until now.

Vex, oh this girl I love. She is not a pushover at all. She knows what she wants and will stop at nothing until she gets it. Even if that means her death.

Z & Vex rock!! I don’t want to give too much away. But know that Z gets slapped by reality at least twice in this book and it is fun to watch him stumble. I can’t wait to see these two in the future.

Oh and Ms. Ione Azagoth’s gift to Revenant (whom I love dearly) is just pure evil and I love it!!!!
