My favorite chick-read, fantasy, romance novel of all time. I love Saetan, Daemon & Lucivar. The world has a really nice concept of powers with the Jewels and great villains. I think I read this four times ...

2017: Re-reading this in 2017 it is still every bit as good although the ebook version is real shoddy - missing paragraph breaks and all. But I can just read this over and over and over. Yes, it is dark, the themes of abuse pervade this story thoroughly but at the same time the first two thirds of the book Jaenelle as a child so full of strangeness and light make up for all the darkness and her driving Saetan and Daemon up the wall .... makes me smile so much. It's a terrible tear-jerker throughout though.
