When strange shadows and messages plague Nora's daily life she fears for her sanity. To escape questions from her family, Nora joins her friends on a weekend getaway. Despite not liking Aidan Birket, Nora finds his remote, Victorian house charming. Until they discover the marble doorway on the third floor and, against Nora's better judgment, they open it.

Trespassing into an unfamiliar world called the Demon's Grave, the group face a charismatic demon and six nightmarish Challenges as punishment. Those that make it to the end can go home, but those that don't will be his forever. Friendships are tested, secrets revealed and sacrifices will be made.

Nora battles zombies, doppelgängers, eyeless bikers, and the demon—whose interests are more than just a game of cat and mouse. If it's all in her head, then it should be easy. But, if not, it means the demon knows about her sticky past, and the death of her twin sister.

Fifteen year-old Megan Barnett and her single mom, Suze, have a special relationship—they are friends, close friends, who do almost everything together.

“But come on, guys, she’s my mother… Can I really tell her that while we’re snuggled up on the sofa watching Spider Man Three, I’m secretly undressing James Franco with my eyes? Of course not…”

The special bond takes a turn for the worse when Suze decides to start dating again. She hasn’t had a man in her life since Megan’s father left ten years ago.

Enter two mysterious young men, Megan’s new classmate, sinfully attractive bad boy, Guy Matson, and the dangerously handsome art dealer, Armando. Before long Megan and Suze both wind up in steamy relationships. But neither of the handsome pair is quite what he seems. In fact, one of them is Satan, with his sights set on a new bride. Megan has precious little time to figure out how to stop him. If she doesn’t, either Megan or Suze are quite literally going to HELL.

Zombie sighting:
I sat at the dining room table watching in silence as she meandered around like a zombie, never a glance in my direction.

My two-bits:
In-a-word(s): creepy
ooo, this starts out with a false sense of security. The main character, Megan, is so much fun to follow along with. Her sense of humor and dialogue pulls you into her situation. And then, you find yourself in some dark scary shenanigans.

LOVED the blend of horror, comedy, romance and YA.

Save My Soul by Zoe Winters

Save My Soul
(A Paranormal Romance: Preternaturals Book 2)
by Zoe Winters

Published: 2011
Publisher: Incubooks
Genre: Demons, Paranormal, Romance
Paperback: 300 pages
Rating: 4

Description from the amazon:
All he’s asking for is her soul.

After buying the antebellum home she’s fantasized about since childhood, Anna Worthington discovers Luc, a dangerously seductive incubus who has been trapped in the house by a fifty-year-old curse. To rid herself of her problem house guest she’ll call on a priest, gypsies, ghost hunters, and the coven of witches from lust bunny hell. All she has to do is resist him long enough to break the spell so they can go their separate ways. If she doesn’t, she could die. And that would be the best case scenario.

Zombie sighting:
She stretched her arms in front of her like a zombie and wandered around the living room making woooo noises.
-location 318, chapter 2

My two-bits:
In-a-word(s): bond
I am still new to the demon world and this story was a good way to get them on my good side. Luc is such a sweet demon if demons can be sweet that I found him as irresistible as the main character, Anna.

I should also mention that the demon focus was on an incubus.

ooo, and there is a cool twist in the end that I liked to this paranormal romance.

Raven's Kiss by Toni LoTempio

Raven's Kiss
by Toni LoTempio

Published: 2011
Genre: Paranormal, Romance
ebook
Rating: 5

Description from the amazon:
Raven Grace was a college senior with ambitions of a career in law enforcement when she met the demon Aega, whose bite turned her from mortal to Shapeshifter.

Now a member of the Recovery Organization, Raven keeps the peace between humans and errant Hellhounds, trolls, wizards and the like while trying to track down Aega and bring him to justice. After a particularly dicey encounter one night with a Hellhound, she goes to the aid of a girl who’s been attacked and near death—and is amazed to find Aega’s bite mark on the girl’s arm.

Determined to get to the bottom of this, she revisits the victim’s apartment and there discovers her closet is a portal to a parallel universe, where people she knows lead vastly different lives.

She also gets a glimpse of the Recovery Captain there—a six foot, redheaded Scotsman named Finn McPhee, whose sexy accent and even sexier bod sets her senses aflame.

Seeking answers, Finn takes Raven to the magickal underworld, where an ancient fae informs them the demon’s quest is rooted in Scottish mythology and magick.

As they delve deeper into legend, the truth comes to light—Aega is only a pawn, subservient to another, darker demon… a being who knows the truth about Raven’s heritage, and who orchestrated her return to this parallel universe for the ultimate showdown.

Now, Finn and Raven find their passion for one another must take a backseat to Raven’s battle with a dark force who won’t be satisfied until he’s claimed her soul for his very own…

fyi: kindle version is currently 99 cents

Zombie sighting:
Zombie.
I hissed the word. While I'd never actually seen one until now, I'd read enough about them to know they acted mindlessly, and their favorite food of choice was living brains.
-page 241, chapter 21

My two-bits:
In-a-word(s): timeband
The parallel alternate universe in this story gives us a double dose of colorful characters that makes this an interesting read all the way to the demon showdown at the end.

The romancing is fun with a bit of banter and light on the schmexy stuff, after all, demon hunting is the priority ;-D

And I like how the title of the book comes into play.
