Salvation comes with a price. . . 
Bound by the blood contract his human mother signed four centuries ago, half-demon, David Sadler, must obey his demonic Master's order to capture fifteen-year-old Jessica Hanks. But as he learns more about her, he realizes she may be the key to freedom from his dark enslavement. 
The only obstacle-Jessica's distractingly beautiful Guardian, Rebeka Abbott. He must not give in to their steamy chemistry, or he will lose his humanity. But fresh off a quarter millennia of sensory deprivation as punishment for not retrieving his last target, he may not be able to resist temptation long enough to save what's left of his human soul.

My Thoughts:

David has been released by his master from 250 of sensory deprived captivity he is thrust into the world of the living. Everything is so new to him. When he walks into an Arizona clue and see that most of the women are barely dress he thinks that Master is testing him. When a woman in red catches his eye, he can't look away. When they finally met it is like he is drawn to her. Beka is the most beautiful women he has seen in his four hundred years. Too bad if he takes her he will become a full demon, and he doesn't want that. He needs to keep his human haft intact. He needs to find his mark Jessica before he is punish again.  The only problem is that Jessica is being guarded by Beka. He has killed many Guardians before but knows that he couldn't kill Beka. When he finds his mark he has a choice. Does he give her to the Guardians or to his Master? He knows that if he gives her to his master he will kill her. But if he gives her to the Guardians then he will he imprison again.

I liked this book. To me it started out slow but when it pick up I didn't put it down! The whole time you want to know why a mother would sell her first born son's soul for riches. And when you discover the truth it makes you want to cry! You instantly fall in love with David for his human side and when you meet Reka you hope that she will love him. I love the Demon and Angel idea of this story. It is really hard to find one that is good and this one is it!
