Believe me—I found that out the hard way. My name is Gwendolyn LaRoux and I’m a witch. I didn't mean to do black magic, and I certainly didn't mean to leave a door into the blackest part of Hell cracked open when I did it. But somehow it happened and a creature of darkness slipped into our world. Now it's hunting my loved ones and I have no choice but to journey to Hell and close the door myself...with a little help. Laish is a minor demon--or so he says--that seems to be obsessed with me. Tall, dark, and way too hot to handle, I wish I could tell him to get lost. Unfortunately, he's the only one who's willing to help me in my quest. He's promised to serve as my bodyguard on my trip through Hell...for a price. The problem is, I don't know if I can afford to pay what he's asking... WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT RUBY SHADOWS... Book Addict Confidential Laish is a Demon and Gwen is Witch. Gwen and Laish have to travel to the underworld and go through the seven circles of hell in order to close a portal left open while saving Taylor´s life. Evangeline absorbs us into their journey and what brings them together Evangeline takes us on a wild ride with plenty of sexy moments, shocking moments, sad moments and yes happy moments. I really hope you enjoy reading Ruby Shadows as much as I did. I give it 5 stars and I can´t wait to read the next installment Curse of the Bibliophile Vampires, Werewolves, and Demons. Oh My! Evangeline really knows how to write paranormal romance. The first two books in the "Born to Darkness" series gave us some insight into the different creatures occupying this world and now we get a look into a whole new world inside of it. Taking a trip to hell has never been so hot. One of my favorite things about this authors books are the way she does her world building. Hell, was no exception. I loved how she interwove a lot of different ideas and myths surrounding Hell and the underworld, but still added her own little twist and ideas to the mix. This book was a bit darker than the first two, but it fit perfectly with the theme of the book. Gwendolyn was a really strong heroine and I liked her spunk. She has a tough outer shell, but given her circumstances its understandable. I really liked that she kept her kind heart, even after all of the horrible things she goes through after going through Hell, literally. Gwendolyn doesn't let Laish push her around or manipulate her, but she does give him the benefit of the doubt. The exchanges between her and Laish are always amusing and often steamy. There is a slow buildup in the romance department, making their relationship seem more realistic. However, there is plenty of passion and sexy moments from the first page to the last. This is one of the things that I love about Evangeline Anderson's books, the way she builds up the anticipation until the best moment possible. Laish is protective, ruthless, and dominant. He is a true alpha male, but he was not an asshole. I loved Laish he had his faults and didn't always play fair, but he was honest and never tried to suppress or demean Gwendolyn. He did his best to support her and even when it was detrimental to himself, he allowed Gwendolyn to do things at her own pace and in her own way. He is an amazing hero and one of my absolute favorites of the entire series! He also knew just how to get his little witch to give in to temptation. I cannot wait to see what else this author has in store. less
