Jonathan Lethem: IMG Stops: On Those Things My New Novel Forgot to Be About, Maybe



For me, there's a weird, unfathomable gulf — I almost wrote gulp — between the completion of a novel and its publication. Some days this duration feels interminable, as though the book has... Continue »

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Someone has been cutting up demons and removing their body parts, and this doesn't make sense to doctors Eidolon and Shade, the only surgeons in the world who care exclusively for demons. One patient after another has been arriving to the demon ER with missing internal organs, and Eidolon vows to find who has been targeting his race, and for what purpose.

To make matters worse for Eidolon's demon-kind, he's just gone and treated a female demon-slayer who heats his blood as no other has. Tayla is a sexy, lustful, demon-slaying warrior who works for The Aegis, a council of humans who have vowed to rid the world of demons. Eidolon knows Tayla's deepest secret: that she is actually half demon herself. She is, in fact, the only being Eidolon has ever seen who has half-demon, half-human blood. And she's the only woman who has ever captivated him so. But is this woman, who is trained to eradicate Eidolon's species, the person responsible for the rash of demon mutilations that are turning his hospital upside down?

Synopsis:

In a place where ecstasy can cost you your life . . .

She's a demon-slayer who hungers for sensual pleasure-but fears it will always be denied her. Until Tayla Mancuso lands in a hospital run by demons in disguise, and the head doctor, Eidolon, makes her body burn with unslakable desire. But to prove her ultimate loyalty to her peers, she must betray the surgeon who saved her life.

Two lovers will dare to risk all.

Eidolon cannot resist this fiery, dangerous woman who fills him with both rage and passion. Not only is she his avowed enemy, but she could very well be the hunter who has been preying upon his people. Torn between his need for the truth and his quest to find his perfect mate before a horrific transformation claims him forever, Eidolon will dare the unthinkable-and let Tayla possess him, body and soul . . .

Synopsis:

Demon-slayer Tayla Mancuso hungers for sensual pleasure, but fears it will always be denied her--until she lands in a hospital run by demons in disguise. The head doctor makes her body burn with unshakable desire. But to prove her loyalty to her peers, she must betray the surgeon who saves her life. Original.

Yippee! Another new author for my list...like it's not big enough already. I'm so glad I got "Pleasure Unbound" by Larissa Ione. She's produced a really interesting and unusual world of demons where the 'bad' guys aren't all bad (but some of them sure are) and the 'good' guys aren't all good either. Her demon-infested world will suck you in and the next thing you know...it's 2:00 a.m. and you have to get up in less than 4 hours to go to work. Oh wait...that's me.

Demons aren't all bad. They also aren't all ugly either. And Eidolon? Yummy. A doctor! Sexy, thoughtful, more of a Beta with occasional Alpha bursts. Sounds just like the man your parents wanted you to marry, eh? Well apart from the whole demon thing. And did I mention he's a sex demon? Need I say more?

Tayla is a demon-slayer. At 16 she saw the thing that killed her mother and it certainly wasn't a crazed human like the cops said. Since then, she lives in the underworld unseen by most humans and hunts all demons. Until one saves her life. But aren't all demons evil? Don't they all kill? She has some hard truths to learn and difficult decisions to make a result. Sometimes her decisions weren't the best...welcome to the human race.

I liked the world. I liked the plotline. I liked the two lead characters, faults and all. Anyway, Ione hit a home run for me with this intricate story and I definitely plan on picking up Eidolon's brothers' stories when they are relased in March and April 2009.
