The terribly unlikable heroine killed this book for me. The Greek Mythology is interesting, but otherwise, this didn't have much of an original feel to me, and wasn't groundbreaking as far as female-lead urban fantasy.

(2.5 stars) At the end of the first Dark Breed novel, Ascension, Kyana turned her witch friend Haven into a vampire/lycanthrope hybrid in order to save her from certain death. But Haven is taken over by the evil god Cronos, who wants to use her to bring himself back to life and usher in his new reign. Most of the Order wants to see Haven killed to end the threat. Kyana is the only one who still believes in her friend, so it’s important that Kyana find Haven first — no one else will ask questions...more

This is quite an intense story, full of heroes, fights, friendship loyalty and love. The plot is simple and very well written. A young lady (Kyana), chosen to be the replacement of Artemis, Goddess of Hunt, turns her best friend (Haven) into a Vampyre by sharing her blood with her. That was a desperate solution, as Haven was dying. But that action happens to trigger a consequence greater than she could imagine. Her best friend is possessed by the spirit of Cronos, a vengeful God that is dead, an...more

Bedeviled is the second installment in Sable Grace (Heather Waters & Laura Barone)’s Dark Breed series. Kyana has survived her trial and has started the process of becoming a goddess; taking on some of Artemis’s power. She has seven days before she will become a full goddess and will lose her vampyre and lychen abilities completely. That means Kyana has seven days to track down and capture Haven before she will lose her sire’s link to her. Cronos‘s possess...more

I started this book immediately after Ascension and I loved it even more. there is a lot of action and changes in there.

Ky has to take responsibility for her actions in Ascension and must therefore find Haven and bring her back. to do that she has just 7 days before she changes completely. the changes in Ky were well done and I like her as much, maybe even better than before.

I loved also it how the relationship between Ky and Ryker developed and how they learned to open up to each other. It was...more

The second installment in the Dark Breed series picks up shortly after the first book. Kyana is losing her Dark Breed abilities slowly, as her goddess powers are slowly taking over. There is a transition period and she is both stronger and weaker during this time. This acclimation period is an inconvenience. She has to find her friend Haven before it is too late.

Her first hunt is Haven. She must find Haven and bring her in for trial. Haven is possessed by Cronos. Cronos wants revenge and will s...more

I actually enjoyed this sequel to Ascension much better than the first book. That said, I wouldn’t recommend starting the series here, as it definitely is not a standalone novel and without the set-up of the first book, I think readers would be quite lost. So, read them in order for maximum enjoyment, as it opens right where the first book leaves off - and it ends on a similarly open note, so it seems that a third book is planned.

The sequel was not as plagued with errors in point-of-view as the...more

If you liked Ascension, I really think you'll love Bedeviled. It picks up right where the last book left off, and takes readers on a fast paced ride filled with action, mythology, great character evolution... and sex. What more could an Urban Fantasy fan ask for?

When we first met Kyana, she was a reviled Half Breed, part Vampyre, part Lychen. But she used her powerful skills to help the Order protect humanity, and fight the threat that the ancient God Cronus will rise again and wreak havoc on th...more

No one means more to half Vampyre, half Lychen Kyana than her best friend Haven. They have been as close as sisters for years and now Kyana must hunt Haven down after she's possessed by an ancient god who plans to use her to resurrect himself and wreak havoc on earth. Teamed with Ryker, a demigod who's determined to be more than just a one night stand, Kyana has just 7 days before she becomes the new Goddess of the Hunt and all hope is lost of saving Haven.

Bedeviled was certainly much anticipated and it went beyond my expectations. At the very end of the last novel Kyana had been offered the position as Artemis' Chosen, after her best friend Haven had been possessed by Cronus and turned into a Dark Breed. In this novel Kyana attempts to hunt down her once "sister" in seven days time; the time it will take her to complete her transformation into the Goddess of the Hunt. Though her lover, Ryker, was meant to be Ares' Chosen it seemed in his deal wit...more

Kyana saved her friend Haven’s life but in doing so she created a monster. Now she has seven day to undo her harm. After that she becomes the Goddess of the Hunt and her ties to Haven will be cut.

The premise sounded good. What I did not realize was that Bedeviled was the second book in the series and without reading the first book I was lost. I had no connection to the story or the characters. The author has created a usual urban fantasy world with gods and goddesses in addition to other paranor...more

Another great book. The series picks up where the last one left off, instead of you missing a few months or a year or whatever. As always, a lot of action, and some lurve scenes. Kyana has grown as a character and is still growing by the end of the book. She's changing a lot and learning. For those who don't want spoilers, stop reading here. She does rescue her best friend but Cronos' evil ass still manages to escape. So we know what's coming up for the next book and I can't wait to go read it....more

Review originally posted on my blog: A Book Obsession..

The last of her kind, half Vampyre, half Lychen, Kyana was forbidden from passing her curse onto another. But in order to save her friend Haven, she did exactly that, creating a monster in the progress. Haven has become possessed by the spirit of the most evil of all Titans, Cronos, and seeks to raise him from the dead. Kyana, as her sire has the only chance at bringing Haven down. But time is running out. In only seven days, Kyana will comp...more

Have you ever read a book that you SHOULD love? I should have loved the Dark Breed series by Sable Grace. It has an expansive world filled with Gods and Goddesses and dark breed creatures that bring death and destruction. It has a strong female heroine in Kyana. She has a tough exterior but a good heart deep down. There is a sexy love interest in Ryker. This is the second book in the trilogy and I own the final installment "Chosen". I will read it and enjoy it to an extent like I did the first t...more

The second book in this series, Bedeviled finds our heroes in a world of hurt. Kyana feeds her half-breed blood to her friend Haven (a witch) to save her life although it was against the law. The old gods are failing and their Chosen replacements are being killed off. Avoiding punishment by vowing to stop Haven who now is a vampire, lychen, witch cross breed that has been possessed by Chronos in his bid to get his body back and return to power. Meanwhile Kyana has to deal with increasing feeling...more

The first book in the series, Ascension, ended with Kyana saving her best friend Haven but losing her at the same time. Bedeviled kicks off with a bang, with Kyana hunting Haven down in order to save her. Haven is being controlled by Cronos, the father of all gods, who is using her to help him destroy the gods that imprisoned him and to take over the world.

But there is a kicker; Kyana only has seven days to save Haven. After that, Kyana becomes the Goddess of the Hunt (Artemis) and will lose he...more

I really Enjoyed ASCENSION. I loved all the characters, the storyline, the gods and mythology and I could not wait to get my hands on BEDEVILED. If you have not read ASCENSION please be warned that this review will have spoilers from book 1 in it.

Kyana was a half Vampyre half Lychen and is now turning into the new Goddess of the Hunt. Her best friend and roommate Haven is processed by a god set on revenge, She is fighting feelings for her sorta lover Ryker and on top of it all she once again is...more

*Thoughts*

Bedeviled is the second book in the Dark Breed series and picks up pretty much where Ascension left off. It has been two weeks since Tartarus opened up and released Hell on Earth. The human race is in a struggle to survive and only the Order is there to stand up for those who remain alive. In the city of St. Augustine, Florida, survivors are holed up in the Castillo de San Marco where Above, Beyond and Below intersect.

Kyana Aslan, against Order r...more

This novel had a lot of running around happening in it. In fact it kept the characters and me on my toes. I did enjoy it but to me it doesn't have that huge 'it' factor that makes it higher than three stars thus far in the series. Which is quite a shame because if it was written a bit different, possibly more 'bad ass' it could have that potential. Other than that it was a good read, it didn't really get terribly boring but there were some definite slow points that made the story drag on.
Pamela
If you like a story with Vampyre, Lychen, witches, Greek mythology, action & adventure, a bit of romance (and sex) then this book is for you. It's practically non-stop action as Kyana is trying to save her best friend Haven from the clutches of Cronos, who is dead but wants to be resurrected and needs Haven's help to do it.

I love Kyana and it was fun to watch her go through her change from bad ass vampyre/lychen hybrid to the new Goddess of the Hunt. As much as I enjoyed Ascension, I liked Bedeviled even more. The character development is great, the action is nonstop, there's lots of turmoil, a seriously disturbed vengeful God, an Irish vampyre turned God that is hotter than Hades, a surfer boy demigod and an emotionally scarred heroine you can't help but love. The Dark Breed series is one of my favorite new UF se...more

Bedeviled: A Dark Breed Novel (ebook)
Sable Grace is the writing team of Heather Waters & Laura Barone, long time critique partners and friends who came together by fluke to discover their voices fit together quite nicely during an experiment of "I'll write the first sentence, you write the next." It was meant to be nothing more than a warm up exercise for each of them to get started on their own projects, but soon, the story beca...more
