Touch of the Demon

Kara Gillian, Book 5

By: Diana Rowland

Narrated by: Liv Anderson

Kara Gillian is in some seriously deep trouble.

She’s used to summoning supernatural creatures from the demon realm to our world, but now the tables have been turned and she’s the one who’s been summoned. Kara is the prisoner of yet another demonic lord, but she quickly discovers that she’s far more than a mere hostage. Yet waiting for rescue has never been her style, and Kara has no intention of being a pawn in someone else’s game.

There’s intrigue to spare as she digs into the origin of the demonic lords and discovers the machinations of humans and demons alike. Kara is shocked to discover that she has her own history in the demon realm, and that the ties between her and the demonic lords Rhyzkahl and Szerain go back farther than she could have ever imagined. But treachery runs rampant among all the lords, and she’s going to have to stay sharp in order to keep from being used to further their own agendas. The lords have a secret that dates back to earth’s ancient history, and it could have devastating repercussions for both worlds.

Yet more than anything else, Kara’s abilities as a homicide detective will be put to the test - because this time the murder she has to solve is her own.

Why do you have to be so mean?

If you could sum up Touch of the Demon in three words, what would they be?

Intense, enthralling, heartbreaking

What did you like best about this story?

I love, love, love the complexity of not only the world building but, each and every character brought into the story. The story is fluid and always moving forward. Some of my favorite moments are when things from the previous books come into play and I have a serious "ah ha" moment.

What does Liv Anderson bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She IS Kara Gillian ! She never falters or pauses in weird places, her characters come to life and you know immediately who is speaking. I think she does a fantastic job.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The ritual with Rhyskal..it just broke me. It was like feeling everything Kara felt in that moment..the betrayal, the heartache, the anger. Like a big ol' slap in the face.

Any additional comments?

Each book gets better and better and this one is my favorite ! The introduction to the Demon Realm is just amazing. The new characters, the relationships forming and breaking. Diana Rowland is a spectacular author. Worth every single penny/credit.

Awesome

Another must read more story. Looking forward to more.
Demon Lords abound in this one.

I loved it!

I know a lot of people didn't like that this book went in a new direction with the character of Kara Gillian and shook things up, but I think this is exactly what needed to happen to give us more info and move the story along. It was great!

Evolved....

I haven't written a review on this serious because it was rather average. But I must say this book has evolved the series. It has gone from a okay read while you wait on something else it a must have series. this book goes deeper than the others. I like that she went outside the norm with the Sexy Lords. very inpressed.

Not as good as previous books in the series

I went into this story wanting a mystery book similar to those previously written by the author in this series. I came away with a pseudo-high fantasy novel. I also did not like how the main character seemed to immediately fall for a new person. It seemed... Odd given the characters (both Kara and the new character).
