New York Times and USA Today Best-Selling Paranormal Romance Author Felicity Heaton presents:
Awakened by a Demoness (Eternal Mates Paranormal Romance Series Book 10)
Asteria of the Second Legion of demons has messed up. Royally. With a capital everything. Certain that her dark lord is about to end her in the most painful way imaginable, she’s stunned when the fallen angel offers her an … her an uncharacteristic shot at redemption—and determined not to fail him again. With her life on the line, she sets out on a mission that sounds easy but proves to be far from it when a hot slice of angelic eye candy comes storming into her life, stirring dangerous desires and tempting her more than any male before him.
Fifth Commander of the Echelon, the highest order of angels in Heaven and those responsible for hunting demons, he will allow nothing to stand in the way of fulfilling the mission he began close to a century ago so he can finally return to his home. On the verge of securing the half-breed he has been hunting, he can almost taste victory—until a sassy demoness struts into his life, awakening wicked needs and forbidden hungers that will test him to his limit.
When their mission brings them on a collision course, can they fight the fierce heat of the passion that blazes between them to claim a victory for their side or will it burn their resistance to ashes and set their hearts on fire with a love both forbidden and eternal?

Awakened by a Demoness is book 10 in the Eternal Mates series and, unlike many of the others, this one can honestly be read standalone with nothing being missed. For fans of the series, this is almost an aside. They may hold a place in future books (Rey, the fifth commander of the Echelon, is at least acquaintances with the fourth commander who we have met before), but that is yet to be seen. If you’re a fan of Mrs. Heaton’s Her Angel series, this one will also appeal to you.
The book is written in third person omniscient from both character’s point of view and features a demoness (extremely rare in this world) named Asteria and an angel she names Rey (angels don’t have names). The two are sent on a mission (separately of course) to turn a half-breed angel/demon to their side. Nothing is ever cut and dry, however, and as seen in previous books, heaven and hell are playing a game that we can’t quite decipher. Yet. The story is fairly fast paced and takes place in places we’ve been before in previous novels with a few new peeks.
Asteria is overall just kinda fun. Not sure there’s a better way to put it. She’s been dealt a pretty crappy lot in life, but she sure does make the best of it, and it’s fun to read. Rey, on the other hand, is stiff and unyielding in all things, knowing only duty. As with all previous books, this is a fated mate situation, so you can bet she winds up showing him a different view. It’s fun to watch them find their way to each other, but also heartrending to see them learn truths that tear their worlds up along the way. The end was certainly a surprise and may portend important facts for the future.
If you like your romance with a lot of sass, some life lessons and revelations, wings, a healthy dose of steam, and a love to cross any boundary, I’d say this is a good one for you.

Angels & Demons! Oh My!
Awakened by a Demoness is the tenth installment in the astounding Eternal Mates series by Felicity Heaton. It can easily be read as a stand-a-lone.
I was having such bad luck with books, until this one showed up. I devoured this book and couldn’t put it down for the life of me. It had everything I’ve come to love in the Eternal Mates series. Action, adventure, twists, surprises, suspense, captivating unique characters, and sexual tension that was off the charts. Ms. Heaton knows how to weave an intricate and lethal story. Her books are engaging, gripping, and pull together a verity of supernatural species.
This story was off and running from the first to the last page. Their was no shortage of surprises and twists that will leave you in aww of this latest installment.
We are never given a dull moment; between our leads and their mission. I loved Asteria our Demon, she’s sassy and Ray our elite Angel, is rigid. Both where fascinating and when they run across each other, it’s a collision course to something mountainous. Together these two had their issues, making the conversations amusing and the sexual tension fierce. And, what we learn about these two along the way. Well I didn’t see that twisting SURPRISE!
I also enjoy how the author weaves in other characters. They just pop up on the pages giving us a little taste and showing us a small piece of the picture for that character, who may eventually get a story. It wets the appetite. Leaving you wanting more.
Hands down Heaton hit this one out of Hell. Loved it! If you have not picked up this series yet, you need too. Paranormal Romance fans will love the uniqueness of the world, characters, and verity of supernaturals. It’s a must read!
