Bond of Passion

A Demonica Novella (1001 Dark Nights)

De: Larissa Ione

Narrado por: Paul Boehmer

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Larissa Ione returns with a story in her Demonica series…

He was an assassin. She was his lover.

And his victim.

Now, years later, she’s back from the dead and looking for vengeance.

Thanks to an unexpected and fortuitous disaster, Tavin’s contract with the underworld’s Assassin Guild was broken decades early. But instead of freedom, he’s suffocated by guilt and regret. In many ways, he’s more trapped than he was before. In an attempt to numb his pain, he works at Underworld General Hospital, saving people instead of killing them. But nothing can diminish the memory of assassinating the female he loved…not even the knowledge that he’d done it to spare her an even worse fate.

Deja remembers all of her dozens of former lives, and she knows that she only found love in one of them…until her lover murdered her. As a soul locked inside the nightmarish boundaries of demon hell, she stewed in hatred until a single, fateful event gave her one more shot at life.

And at revenge.

Now another specter from the past is threatening them both. Can two damaged people overcome their history to save not only themselves, but a second chance at love?

**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

This was a novella from a series that I have read, but it had definitely been a while since I had been back in that particular world. This story revolves around Tavin, who was an assassin but has now kind of reformed and works as a type of paramedic at Underworld General Hospital. Deja is a "reborn" demon (due to the events when the souls were released, she has found herself in a different body) but is dead set of exacting her revenge for the way she died (or to put it more clearly....when she was murdered) How was she murdered you might ask? Well, she was murdered by the man /demon that she was in love with. Yep, you guessed it....Tavin.

I liked being back in this world and it was fun to see so many characters that we have come to know from this series. As usual, nothing is easy and we find that these two crazy kids have a lot to discuss. The problem is that that specific opportunity doesn't quite prevent itself.

Things go from bad to worse and we get to follow along as they discover who and what has occurred to put them in this situation. This was a quick and easy read/listen and like I mentioned before, it was nice to jump back into this world.

Good story

The story is unexpected and engaging
Narrator is good
Characters are compelling
I liked it

DNF

I love Larissa Ione's books and stories, unfortunately couldn't even finish this audiobook. I read the book (kindle/e-book) due to the narrator not living up to my vison of Tavin and the overall performance... only made it to chapter 2.Nothing in this audio book version/performance was inspiring or captivating for me.

Terribly disappointed

I have loved everyone of Larissa’s books until this one. I could not even finish this book on Audible. The narrator is one of the worst I have heard and the story itself is so much below her usual books. It doesn’t flow well and the dialogue is ridiculous.
