Eddy Marks is a local reporter having a normal quiet night at home when all of a sudden her dog starts acting up and demanding to get outside. Wondering what he smells, Eddy goes out with him only to find that it’s not another animal out there but a sexy, injured man. Once Eddy takes him inside to care for him, she begins a journey that will forever change her life.

Dax doesn’t remember how he got hurt or anything before arriving in Eddy’s yard. However, he does remember that he is a demon who has been offered a chance at paradise if he would take on an insane battle. Given a choice at life in the Abyss as nothing or a chance at life in Eden, Dax chooses the job and takes his chances. He never expected to find Eddy and his personal heaven on Earth. With his allotted time ticking away, Dax is now fighting for more than his chance at Eden.

Eddy and Dax team up to save not only her small town of Evergreen, California from a demon insurgence but also add on to their team from very unexpected areas. Passion rises between Eddy and Dax as quickly as the danger around them. As they discover more information about what is going on, Eddy and Dax realize there is more at stake then one sleepy little town. Time is of the essence and lives are on the line as Eddy, Dax and the rest of their team head into a final battle, hoping to end the demons and gain Dax his paradise. The question is, has his idea of paradise changed?

Can a demon and a human discover just what paradise is? Dax and Eddy find out in Demonfire. I fell into Dax and Eddy’s story within the first couple of pages and couldn’t turn the pages fast enough to discover what would happen next.  The rapid-fire action along with the passion between Dax and Eddy would not let me go. The other members of the team were just as intriguing along with the multi-layered plot – nope not going to tell you anymore. You have to read the book. The final battle had me holding my breath but I loved the outcome and seeing that the team would be staying together for the next leg of this journey.  Demonfire is a fast paced and action packed love story that lingers in your mind long after you turn the last page.

With Demonfire being the first book in Ms. Douglas’ new series, I can say that I can’t wait to read not only the next book but also the entire series just to see how all the threads are tied up.
