| Nicodemus “Lash” is thrust out of Netherworld and sent to earth to corrupt Teva Gibson and condemn her to his world. But Lash has withstood centuries of torture and has never given into the demons in his world and he isn’t going to give in and harm Teva. Teva on the other hand doesn’t know who Nic is but she wants to save and protect him. Neither Nic nor Teva expected to feel so strongly about the other and the pressure to give in and get down and dirty is extreme. Nic is afraid that having sex with Teva will condemn her soul to the Netherworld because he is evil. Teva isn’t a prude or a virgin and she has never wanted a man the way she wants Nic and she doesn’t understand his hesitation.
This is a very good story about the possibility of redemption and that even people who have committed egregious crimes in the past may be able to do good. This story will have you questioning what you think about good verses evil. The heart has a marvelous ability to heal and forgive others but can we forgive ourselves? Nic has been punished for centuries in the Netherworld because of crimes of vengeance in his lifetime but is he really evil? Teva is surrounded by forces who wish to “sell” her soul, literally to the devil. Can she survive the attempts? And who is really the evil one, Nic or whoever is betraying her? Whether you believe in an afterlife, purgatory, or even hell doesn’t matter; this makes a very interesting story. Dark Sentinel is book one of a series of books about the Netherworld and it is a very good start. I will definitely be reading the next one to see what will happen next!
