I'm finally writing the review, now that I count with the author's permission,lol. I know there are many of us who are crazy with this series so I'm just too nervous to write a review, specially as it is going to be one of the only ones there will be in here for a while. I hope you like it.

I know there are many of us who are crazy with this series so I'm just too nervous to write a review, specially as it is going to be one of the only ones there will be in here for a while. I hope you like it.

This book is about Sin and Con. They have both already been introduced in the story and have captivated us for a while now. What is great and different in this book from the previous ones in the series is that in this one the heroine is a woman.

I loved Sin and the fact that she was the only woman in her species of demons,lol. She was a bad ass and has the strongest personality. It isn't possible not to love her because you can see from the start that she's the one of all the siblings who needs the most healing of them all. And that's a lot to say, I mean, remember Wraith? She has gone through so much and you just want her to have at least something nice in her life.

And that's when Con comes in. They never thought it would be possible to really care about each other. Con is so hot girls, you don't wanna miss him in this book. This SEXY half wolf half vampire will keep you girls yearning for him. At least I was,lol. And I loved to see how he tried to hide his possessive side knowing it would never be welcomed from a girl who just had suffered so much from possessiveness.

Abut the plot, I can only say that it was very different form the one on the previous stories. New enemies, new situations and problems to confront.New characters as well. If you like were-wolves be prepared for an amazing ride.

This book will not disappoint. It was everything I wanted it to be. Great romance, great action and many surprises. I love it when a book hooks me up so badly I can't put it down even for a single second. It was so good to get to know more about Sin, I knew I would love her since her first appearance. And Con... just YUMMY!This series is the best. Can't wait to get my hands in Eternal Rider (The Lords of Deliverance, #1). Larissa Ione is such a great author that you just can't help to love everything she writes. People if you trust my taste in books, be sure you'll love this one!

I hope I was able to give you guys some idea about how good it will be for you without spoiling anything.(less)

^^SINFULLY CONTAGIOUS!^^

This series has been a rollercoaster ride of awesomeness. There is never a dull moment, when it comes to this family of Seminus demons and any other form of paranormal species. We were introduced to UG hospital in the frist book, its got drama, sex and the hottest bunch of species. You would be intentionally getting hit by cars, and starting fights just to get hurt.

This series has been a rollercoaster ride of awesomeness. There is never a dull moment, when it comes to this family of Seminus demons and any other form of paranormal species. We were introduced to UG hospital in the frist book, its got drama, sex and the hottest bunch of species. You would be intentionally getting hit by cars, and starting fights just to get hurt. There is a whole bunch of Dr Feel Good up in that hospital. Book 5 is about the unexpected sister, and her lovely and sexy Con. Man was this book a pleasure to read.

Book 4 ended with a plague killing all the wargs (werewolves), this illness started by the kick-ass assassin Sin. Not done intentionally, the disease is spreading like wildfire and wargs are dying everywhere. It seems the disease is about to start a civil war between the born wargs and the turned. Sin is caught right up in it, since the disease is her doing, and to add a little more to the plate Sin is in charge of the assassin den and they all want her dead. It seems she’s gonna have to get help from the sexy dhampire and her overprotective brothers.

This group of people always has someone out to get them, first it was a crazy brother, then later it was someone else’s crazy brother. Now it’s a whole race of wolves, they can never catch a break. When it comes to emotional walls this book had it in abundance. Sin has been through hell and back, and it’s understandable her fears. Con is fighting against his birthright and becoming close to others. You think. How will these two work out? Effing beautifully.

I wanted to ride Con like a steed (oops did I just write that), what a bowl of hotness. It’s as if the wolf/vampire takes sexiness to a completely new level. Con and Sin together is a whole bunch of illegal hotness, they say what they want and they take what they need. It was them against the world, and their feelings. It was great to see the whole family in this one; I want to sign some papers that would make me legally theirs. What an awesome family, I might sexually assault my brothers; but there is never too much love in a family *winks*.

I love Miss Ione’s world building; it’s crazier and better in every book. Never a dull moment and I find there is always a little subtext of homosexuality (once again it could all just be in my head). Makes me think that the author could possibly write a wicked M/M book. That visit to the wolf village, was a little bit of heaven for me. Fighting and then fucking, these male wolves know how to throw down.

I love this series, and though this is the conclusion. I hope this is not the last of the Sem bros. They make all my little sexy dreams come true. Awesome conclusion got a tear in my eye, had a lot of work to do with my bucket and mop.

A SERIES NOT TO BE MISSED!!

I am really sad to see this series concluding, although I am happy to see everyone get a satisfying ending. To be honest, I wasn’t that enamored with either Sin or Con when I met them in Ecstasy Unveiled. I didn’t like the closet hookup, and the uneventful sex; and I wasn’t sure I could buy them falling deeply in love in their book. But, I figured that Ms. Ione would have something up her sleeve to turn things around. And she really did.

To be honest, I wasn’t that enamored with either Sin or Con when I met them in Ecstasy Unveiled. I didn’t like the closet hookup, and the uneventful sex; and I wasn’t sure I could buy them falling deeply in love in their book. But, I figured that Ms. Ione would have something up her sleeve to turn things around. And she really did.

Sin is a hard person, toughened and disappointed by life. I can totally understand why. It’s bad enough to be a man who is a slave to his desires, but for a woman, that’s probably even worse. Especially when you have inbred trust issues from having a mother who hated you and wanted you dead. Sex requires intimacy. Intimacy requires trust. Imagine having to have sex daily without being able to trust anyone? That’s Sin’s life. And you know how hypocritical men are about women who ‘sleep around’. It’s fine for a guy, but a woman who does it is a slut, and she doesn’t deserve their respect, and they show it, even though she chooses to share her body with them. I think that sucks. So, yeah, I get Sin’s issues. Surprisingly, I liked her early on in this book, and loved her by the end of the book.

As for Con, I really didn’t like him after the bet he made with Luc. Talking about callous. I think he did have some reason to be unwilling to get involved, but not as much as Sin. Even still, it was good to see him learn to love a woman more than he loved his freedom, or holding onto his belief that he could move on, and change out things in his life at will. Even though he was being Mr. Double Standard by pushing Sin to open up and allow her to feel, but not wanting to commit to anything out of a deep-seated fear of loss. But Con has to learn the hard way that you can’t close yourself off from people out of fear of loss.

I really like how Ms. Ione writes these books. They are highly sexual, but that’s just a layer of the story. Although she writes sex very well, she doesn't leave the romance behind to be forgotten; and there’s so much more going on and to be interested in. This series is about family, about realizing that one has a place in this world, connections. That what you thought about the world being black and white truly doesn’t represent the world very well. The world is so full of shades of gray, and even more, colors. It’s more about perspective than there being one answer, and one path. And love isn’t denied to anyone.

When I read the first book, Pleasure Unbound, I was pretty fascinated with this world of demons that Ms. Ione put on paper. After five books, I am still impressed. The world-building in this series is out of this world, and it only expanded with each book. That’s part of why I’m sad to see it ending, because I think there are a lot of stories to tell in this world. However, I am glad that she’s going to take things in a different direction in this same world with the Lords of Deliverance, and I am intrigued with how she introduced that series in this book. Sin Undone successfully fed my paranormal addiction and left me yearning for more. That’s five for five, Ms. Ione!

5+ stars – Paranormal Romance

Abso-freaking-lutely AMAZING !!!!

I laughed my ass off at Sin’s self-deprecating humor:

Con slid her a glance, one that was almost approving, and for some reason, she felt like a happy puppy that had been praised for piddling outside instead of on the carpet. Annoying.

And the cover is just like the book...hot, HOT, HAWT!!

When we last saw Sin, she'd taken over the assassain's den to hlep save her brother Lore and his angel Idess. Now she's stuck in the den, because any time she leaves, she'll have a giant target on her back. Anyone who wants her power would have to kill her to get it, but if she stays in her den, she's safe from any violence. Unfotunately she can't stay in there forever.

I really loved Con and Sin together, and I liked breaking through Sin's "tough-guy" exterior to her gooey center. Con was an...more

Sin Undone is the last book of the Demonica series by Larissa Ione, but it's the first book of hers that I have picked up. I am a big BDB fan and so you know that any other paranormal romance books are usually shit out of luck. It wasn't the case with Sin.

I am a big BDB fan and so you know that any other paranormal romance books are usually shit out of luck. It wasn't the case with Sin.

As the only female seminus demon, Sin is up against a whole load of crap from the beginning. Her touch is deadly and has the potential to wipe out an entire species of warg. Her own assasins are after her position as master. And it seems that every other person out there wants her dead too.

Except Con.

Con is such a great character. He has that sexy predatory thing going on with Sin, but it's not there in the beginning. In fact, at the start of the book, they practically despise each other. Their continual banter is also very amusing to watch. In addition to their jabbing, they also help each other to face their demons within themselves. They open each other up in a way that exposes everything about them, and yet they can still love each other after that. Perhaps even more now.

Another great love is seen between Luc and Kar. Kar has many secrets, some of which Luc knows and others he doesn't. But given the dire circumstances they are in, Luc finally stands up. He becomes more responsible and in the end, I think him and Kar make a great couple.

I loved Ione's dark wit and mindblowing worldbuilding. It's hard to find an author who can integrate politics without having it taking control of the characters. She is able to set up a situation and she lets her characters figure it out. There is no straining and pulling that makes the character look as if they have suddenly grown a pair and become this master killing machine. The growth in character is gradual, but still very much evident. Ione is great at what she does.

And the excerpt for Eternal Rider? Can I just say what a way to start a new series? Fantastic idea, hot men and lots of kickass fighting in the very first chapter. I love it already! I am super excited about this one!

Favourite Quote:
"I'm going to take a look at you."
She felt her shirt being unbuttoned, and despite her misery, she smiled. "Any excuse to get your hands on me."
"I don't need an excuse. You're easy."
"You-"Her eyes flew open, but when she saw the rare smile turning up his lips, she knew he'd been teasing her. Which was weird, because she would not have taken him as the playful kind. "You should smile more often."
"Can't" He grunted as he opened her shirt to expose her chest. "My face might freeze like that."

Another book that made me wish that life would just stop for three days so I could devote all all time to reading. But what matters is that it is done and the final verdict? Larissa is the bomb. BOOM!

Ok, the book is dealing mostly with the werewolf civilization because our leading man is Dhampire (half-wolf, half-vampire). Now, ever since Stephanie Meyer's Breaking Dawn, I've rolled my eyes at "half and halfs"...except when it comes to my coffee *grins*. Authors tend to make those characters an unnecessary extra special that usually make me want to release the contents in my stomach, so to speak.

When it comes to Miss Ione, let's just say she deserves your trust at this point. If she were to present a half owl, half human with gargoyle blood to me, I would trust her to take that and make it into something fabulous. Because since the first two books alone, she earned it and no, she did not disappoint. You can relate to these people, in some way.

I even fell in love with a warg in this book who barely spoke but with the little information I knew, I just got him.

One thing I've learned from this book is that wargs (werewolves) and Sem demons are practically made for each other. Sexed UP. You can really tell that this woman just truly sat down and thought "Ok, if there were really such and such, what would their civilization be like? What would they be like?" and she nails it like a hunky carpenter on a hot El Paso day.

After reading Gena Showalter's The Darkest Lie, I was upset because of the leading lady, Scarlet, was a quite tragic example of a ideal romance partner. But again I trusted Larissa to create another awesome female. And let me just say, I love Sin. She just very well be my favorite character out of all the romance books I've read so far. If she were real, she would go on my "Only chicks would go lesbo for" list. She's just that cool. She's sharp tongued, you can learn from her and damn it, she keeps it real. A lovable hard ass.

I'm sad that these books have to come to an end. I have truly fallen in love with these brothers, and now sister, as if they were real. At least we'll have another shot with the upcoming Lords of Deliverance book. WOOP!

An amazing end to an exceptional series.

After reading Lore’s story in Ectasy Unveiled, the fourth installment of the series, I wondered ‘how do I get a Seminus demon??’ Having just finished Sin’s story, I can’t help but think ‘how do I become a Seminus demon?’

Sin was my favorite heroine in this series, which is really saying something because she had some stiff competition from Tayla, Runn, Serena and Idess. In addition to being an overall badass assassin, Sin revealed herself to be a truly ca...more

When I reflect on the Demonica series by Larissa Ione, I feel as warm and sated as a Seminus demon after an incredible romp in a broom closet at Underworld General! There are two authors that unleashed my exuberant love for paranormal romance: J.R. Ward and Larissa Ione. Ms. Ione has the gift of creating an amazing world of demons, vampires, and werewolves that sucks you in for the ride of your life!

Sinead "Sin" Donnelly is a "bad-ass" master assassin, Lore's twin sister and the only female Seminus demon in creation. Like the rest of her siblings, Sin has had more than her share of a hellish past, but her bad luck has just taken an even darker turn. Picking up where Ecstasy Unveiled leaves off, Sin has unintentionally created a deadly virus, labeled "Sin Fever," that is destroying werewolves. Now that the werewolve's Warg Council is aware that Sin started the virus, not only is the Council out to destroy her, but her own den of assassins want to take her out as well. Conall "Con" Dearghul, a hybrid vampire-werewolf (dhampire) and paramedic at Underworld General Hospital, has contracted the virus. He learns that in order produce the antibodies to attack and remove Sin Fever from his body, he has to drink Sin's blood. Initially, Con wants nothing to do with Sin. After their brief sexual encounter in Ecstasy Unveiled, Con cannot forget the feel of Sin's body or the taste of her blood and though he craves more (of both), he knows that if he drinks too much it could destroy them. While Sin and Con are assisting her half brother Eidolon in trying to isolate a cure for the virus, the Underworld jailers arrive at the hospital to arrest Sin. Sly as foxes, Sin and Con escape and go into hiding from the Council and her assassins. Now that it's just the two of them, we begin to see both Sin and Con expose their true nature and what lengths they will go to trust and protect one another.

Sin Undone is an AMAZING story and is hands down the BEST in the Demonica series. Considering I thought the first four books were all 5-star reads, that is saying something! I adore so many aspects of Larissa Ione's style and delivery. The first 50 pages of Sin Undone had me laughing myself silly. "Typhoid Mary" and "Smurfette" were a couple of Wraith's pet names for his sister. Sin's response to Con feeding from her, "I don't let anyone fang me," had me in stitches. And, the unfiltered dialogue between the brothers and Sin is real and off the cuff. Another great attribute is the way Ms. Ione conveys intimacy and sensuality between her characters. The dialogue is certainly part of it, but what strikes me most is the unspoken moments: a light caress to the throat, a gentle lick to seal a wound or rubbing toes with your lover. These moments, woven seamlessly into the story line, are simple, yet all powerful to the reader.

And now to the sex scenes. (Would someone pass me a fan!) Let me tell you that Ms. Ione can write some of the most erotic, steamy sex scenes in paranormal romance! Her scenes generate incredibly sensuous, sizzling heat that torches the pages. And for the record and for the win, Con teaches Sin what it is to "make love" and he demonstrates this with his "extended erotic play" over every part of her body making her his "personal playground." Not only does their first love making moment spike your temperature to combustion, but another particular sexual moment with a snowball was, and I quote, "a-fucking-mazing."

Larissa Ione has the brilliance and finesse of creating a unique paranormal world that does not overwhelm you, but draws you in to the complexity of characters, their high-strung yet sometimes buried emotions, their comedic one-liners and their love for sex! Each character has their own idiosyncrasies, self esteem issues, and the overall desire for acceptance, love and a better world. While I'm sad we've reached the finale of the Demonica series, I praise Ms. Ione for giving it a phenomenal ending and, as a reader, you can't ask for anything more!

Favorite Quotes: (I couldn't pick just one!)

"She felt Con's silver eyes boring into her like drill bits, and to her annoyance, her body flushed with warmth as though remembering another drilling he'd given her."

"Your here because wargs are dying, and it's you fault," he growled, a hint of an odd British-ish accent tweaking his words. It happened when he got all pissy, and it was strangely...hot.

"Don't....leave....me." A lump formed in his throat. "Listen to me, Sin. I swear, I'll come back. I won't leave you." A single tear dripped down her cheek as he squeezed her hand and leaned over to brush his lips across hers. A deep, primal rage rose up in him. He would get her brother's, and he would tear apart the bastard who had done this to her.

My expectations for Sin Undone, the 5th novel in the Demonica series, were really high after we met Sin in the last Demonica book. I am pleased to say that I loved it and it met my expectations completely. Larissa Ione has done a fantastic job at building this series over the past 4 Demonica books, and this is the first time in the series where the Seminus demon we’re mainly following is female, the only Seminus demon female ever born, and it was a refreshing change. Sinead “Sin” Donnelly is the ultimate Paranormal Romance Heroine.

Sin Undone picks up right where Ecstacy Unveiled leaves off. Sin, who we’ve met previously as Lore’s sister and half-sister to the other Seminus demons at Underworld General Hospital, has spent decades doing others’ bidding and has now found herself as a Master Assassin. Her deadly innate ability has gone wrong during a botched assassination job unintentionally creating a lethal new worg virus. This virus appropriately named “Sin Fever” is fast acting, spreading quickly, and has caught the attention of the Worg Council, adding fuel to a long existing tension fire between the born-worgs and turned-worgs.

Connall “Con” Dearghul, paramedic at Underworld General, walks a delicate line biologically and politically as a dhampire, half-worg and half-vampire. He is tasked by Eidolon to work with Sin to try and create a vaccine for SF, but at the same time he is charged with bringing Sin in by the Warg Council to face punishment for causing the virus. After a brief intimate encounter previously between Sin and Con, the experience has left Con hungering for her blood and body. Sin and Con must work together to end this plague, while they are determined to resist each other and the need and attraction that has blossomed. Fans of the series will be so happy to hear that we see a lot of the Seminus demon brothers Eidolon, Shade, Wraith, Lore as well as the awesome Tayla too. We might see a nice side story with Luc as well.

I already was quite fond of Sin when we were previously introduced to her, but this book solidified the fact that Sin is one of my favorite PNR heroines of 2010. Ms. Ione did a stellar job giving us the same unapologetic hardass we met previously, all the while showing glimpses of the mushy core inside she tries so desperately to protect from getting smooshed. She is just the kind of bitch I’d secretly love to be, but without all the pesky consequences. In effect this made me care about her all the more when we see just how vulnerable she truly is, as she witnesses the widespread devastation she is ultimately responsible for. With Sin being the only female Seminus demon in existence, we get a very different point of view than previous books and it makes for an interesting story with how she has handled her Seminus needs for survival. We learn more about her past experiences and it is nothing short of gut-wrenching. My heart hurt for Sin several times, she is just so thoroughly likeable despite herself. Throw in the hot dhampire Con who just can’t seem to get enough of her despite himself, and the outcome is nothing short of explosive. Sin and Con have all the chemistry needed to give you one smoking hot read.

The Demonica series is so popular for very good reason. It has all the essential elements required for the perfect PNR series. The original world Ms. Ione has created centering around Underworld General, the demon hospital that turns away no underworld being, is so imaginative. The variety of supernatural species we are meet and how they interact with one another is unique and creative, and while the plot does focus around an incredibly hot romantic relationship, there are so many other events going on that it takes you for a wild ride. True to the series, Sin Undone is not cluttered with repetitiveness, unnecessary descriptions, or recaps from the previous books. You get great fast paced drama from start to finish. The series is extremely erotic and the sexual encounters are hot and fresh. Creative supernatural world, strong multi-dimensional characters, clever plot, intriguing side stories, and hot sex. What more can you ask for in a Paranormal Romance series?

New to the Demonica series? I would never discourage anyone from reading Sin Undone, as it can be read as a stand-alone novel because it is that good. However, to really get the full experience of this book, I strongly advise interested readers to start at the beginning of the series with Pleasure Unbound, then Desire Unchained, Passion Unleashed, and Ecstasy Unveiled. You will thank me for recommending this series to you, so ahead of time I say: “You’re welcome!”

Outstanding! Excelent Writing. I so enjoyed this story and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves paranormal reads. It was full of powerful emotions and lots of action - I actually teared up at the sad shocking times and my smile got so big with tears in my eyes at the happy moments. The humor kept me on the edge of my seat as I laughed out loud. I didn't want to put it down.

In the Demonica world Sin is an anomaly, she shouldn’t exist as seminus demons are all born male. However, if you read “Ecstasy Unveiled” you will know Sin and her fraternal twin Lore were born to a human mother and a seminus demon father. As half breeds the twins inherited seminus abilities from their father, but their gifts went awry. Sin’s dermoire, like Lore’s covers her entire right arm from shoulder to hand, swirling and writhing, coming to life when she uses her ‘gift’. The gift enables h...more

Sin undone is the fifth book in the Demonica series. Some people were saying the series ends here, but others were saying Ms. Ione was just taking a break in order to focus on her new series which was out this March. I’m hoping to see more of Demonica since I love this universe and it can surely handle some new characters joining the party. I’m really looking forward to reading some new stuff related to this series.

I’m hoping to see more of Demonica since I love this universe and it can surely handle some new characters joining the party. I’m really looking forward to reading some new stuff related to this series.

This one, as you can tell, is about Sin and Con. Yes, in the previous book, Ecstasy Unveiled, we were introduced to these two. I didn’t like Con, ended up hating him after his bet with Luc. Sin… well I thought she was annoying and felt like punching her all the time throughout the book. There were some awww moments where she was beginning to resemble a normal person, but they were too few to make me like her. Remember I’m talking about the previous book and not this one. Ok, that being said let’s move to Sin Undone.

I didn’t think the relationship between Con and Sin would get to me, especially since it didn’t have the best start. It was challenging to think that they would end up loving each other. They’re both such difficult people, especially Sin. In the fourth book we got a glance at her past – which wasn’t pink and full of roses. Nah, she’s a troubled one. Usually the troubled ones are the hardest to tame. Con seemed ok, kind of, but in this book we find out that he also fits the troubled-f*ck-you-type of person. This being said, you can already see why it’s hard to see them together, all loving, mated and wanting 100 babies.

I’m really impressed with the story and the way these two evolved (grew on each other I might say – the expression Con used when referring to Luc - like fungus). It didn’t seem forced, it made me like them, which was something I didn’t expect, and made me fall in love with this book. To be honest I knew I will like it, but not love it. It was a big deal eventually.

Sin Undone also introduced us, in a way, to the new series Larissa Ione is working on, Lords of Deliverance. We got to see, even if it was brief, two of the four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Wow, I can say that I like what I saw. This woman has a talent for creating hotties. I really can’t wait to get my hands on the first book, Eternal Rider.
In the end, my favorite is still Wraith. Lore got really close to overthrowing him, but nah, didn’t happen. Anyways, what can I say? Five books out of five and all of them top rated. Wow, I mean that’s something, isn’t it? Awesome series, great “ending” sort-of and one the best bunch of characters you can ever find!

Oh, before I forget! WTF was with that Moldavian village full of horny bisexual wargs? Haven’t seen that one coming… Strange sh*t…(less)

The day I finished ‘Sin Undone’ was the worst day of my life. The future was dark. Other books were boring. There was no hope for tomorrow. I didn’t know how to move on; I didn’t know how to live. I was so miserable as if my Prince Charming dumped me… after saying he was gay… after saying he hated dogs… after eating my ice cream. I can go on, but I guess you got it.

She has never counted on anyone but herself, including her twin brother Lore. Sin also has a raging libido but can control it because of her tattoo on her right arm called the dermoire. Sin must stay ruthless and show no sign of weakness. But she's been feeling guilty lately because she is responsible for unleashing a virus that's killing wargs, better known as werewolves. If she and her half-brothers, who work at Underground General, a supernatural hospital, can't stop the plague they have named Sin Fever (after her), it will destroy the wargs and may jump to other creatures and perhaps even humans.

Paramedic Conall Dearghul is half-werewolf, half vampire, known as a dhampire. He and Sin acted on their physical attraction once. But as soon as Sin was done with him, she pushed him away. Conall is more than bent out of shape about Sin treating him like dirt, but he can't stop thinking of her. He may just get more than he bargains for when he and Sin team up together to stop the virus.

Not only do they have to stop this deadly virus, but Sin has to stay on her toes since she has been marked for death. And Conall is being forced to take his seat on the Warg Council and fulfill his dhampire duties where he must mate with the females to build up their population. Soon he and Sin are on the run, hiding from those that want to eliminate them both. Sin refuses to become a victim since she has been one before. Conall wants her to lean on him for support and show her that it's alright for her to feel and love.

Sin Undone is the final book in Larissa Ione's Demonica series that fans will not want to miss. Please give me a moment while I mourn because this series is just too good to end. I had joked that Larissa loves to make her heroes suffer (mainly through their physical reaction to sex. The phrase, "blue balls" comes to mind. Larissa is evil like that and I thank her for it)

Sin is haunted by both her past and present, and has no choice but to become cold hearted and sometimes cruel in order to survive. She has killed in the past and will do so again with no remorse. But of course there is more to her than meets the eye. When Conall comes into her life and forces her to reflect on her actions, that's where she begins to forgive herself and those horrendous deeds she was forced to do. She has a true support system from family, friends and even with Conall who wants her as his. Conall doesn't want to own Sin or force her to please him for his own gains. As they come to rely on one another, he sees how special she is, and Sin in turn opens her heart to him. And the passion and sex between is hotter than hot. Larissa Ione writes good sex. Her sex scenes are some of the hottest I've read in a paranormal romance series. You can practically taste the lust and desire Conall and Sin have for one another. These two have great chemistry even as they hurl insults at one another.

Sin Undone doesn't disappoint and makes way for yet a new set of characters and books, in her soon to be released Lord of Deliverance series.

Thank you Larissa for giving us kick ass heroine, alpha, yet protective heroes who make women sigh in lust and a series that has raised the bar for what a paranormal should embody.(less)

I started this book with really high expectations, and they were met. I absolutely loved it, I loved Con and Sin together. A kick ass heroine should have a hero that is at least her equal, or better! Ione paired these two up perfectly! Those of you that have come to know and love the Demonica series will not be disappointed! Enjoy!!

Larissa Ione hit it out of the park with Sin Undone, the 5th and final book in her Demonica series. This installment features Sin (short for Sinead), the one and only female Seminus demon. If you're not familiar with the back-story here, Seminus demons are essentially incubi and all the previous books in this series have featured her brothers.

So, during Ecstasy Unveiled we learned that Sin has the power to create disease and uses that "gift" as an enslaved assassin. On a mission to kill a werew...more

When I started Sin Undone I was worried that I had forgotten too much of the story to enjoy it properly. I really had nothing to worry about because the Sin and Con's story was told in such a way where the previous storyline was rehashed in such a way that it came right back to me, yet at the same time didn't interfere with the present story being told.

There are so many things about this book that I loved, but the best part for me was the relationship between Sin and her brothers. I liked how all the dynamics were explored and that they weren't immediately one big happy family. The fact that it took Sin awhile to trust them, and for Wraith to trust her just made it more realistic to me. It just made sense that while some of the brothers and their wives would immediately accept her, others wouldn't right away. One of my favroite quotes is from Wraith:

"Okay, what the fuck is all the subtext here? What? Like I don't know what subtext means? I watch movies. That's because you can't read" Tayla said brightly.The bantering between them all just reminds me of my sisters and I. One of us is always clueless to what's going on, and one of us always has a barb ready. I just love the brothers!

As much as I love the brothers Con stole my heart while at the same time pissing me off big time! The main problem I had with him was the whole: "I must leave her to protect her" crap that he kept pulling. I understood why he did, but it frustrated me so much near then end that I at first gave this book 3 stars instead of 4 because of it. But then the book was still with me the next morning, and since that doesn't happen often, I had to change my rating. But, back to Con...he was total Alpha and I loved how he was able to get through to Sin like no one else could. Here is one of my favorite Con quotes that made me sigh and made the sizzle meter go way high:

"But there's nothing like taking the time to slowly peel off every article of clothing, to kiss every inch of your lovers skin as you do it. To explore all the sensitive places until they quiver."

I'm not sure where to put this , but as much as I loved this book, and Sin and Con are one of my favorite hero/heroines, but all the "I don't want to be owned by you" bothered me. I wanted to smack them both and tell them that no, you idiots you love each other and there is a difference & I wanted to tell Sin to just go have a heart to heart with her brothers over this issue. But that would've been much to easy of a story, right?? I think one of the things I love about this series is it's ability to deal with sensitive topics and make the reader keep on reading.

I thought that this book was a great ending to the series, and I loved how all the characters we've grown to love were mentioned in the book. There is nothing worse then growing attached to a character them having them disappear and rarely mentioned. I loved how the introduction to the new series was brought into the story without taking anything away from the story being told. While I'm sad to see this series end,I can't wait for the next one to begin! (a side note: I would also love to see a spin off from the R XR group with Arik having his own story.)

Oh, I almost forgot the best part of getting this book was that -I received this book as a birthday gift from my sister, and she had her husband go and pick up the book. He wasn't prepared for the cover of this book. He said he was grateful that it wasn't book 4 in the series as that one would have been much more embarrassing to take up to the cashier. :) (less)

And in the last book Sin took over as head of the assassin den. But she accidentally started a plague that is killing wargs.

Her brothers are trying to find a cure to this plague. But the warg leaders want to punish Sin, but her brothers will never allow her to be taken from them, ever. Con helps her escape and protects her, but also there's more trouble! The assassins are trying to kill her so they can become head of the assassin den. A lot of people really have it in for her.

I adored Con and Sin. I think both of them having issues is what made them so perfect for each other. And I loved knowing about Sin's past. She has been alone for so long, even though she has Lore, in her mind she doesn't really have him and Con is able to show her that she isn't alone anymore. I loved the interaction with the sem brothers. And OMFG. I loved Wraith and Sin together. There conversations with each other are hilarious. I quite enjoyed it. I liked how overprotective all her brothers were, so cute.

"She crossed her arms over her chest, and his gaze went automatically to her breasts, which were no nicely plumped by her biceps. Yeah, he was a sex demon. Shoot him. "what are you going to do? And eyes up, mister."
Busted."

One thing I love about the Demonica series is that there is a side story other than focusing on the main couple. We get some Luc. I always wanted to know more about Luc, and its nice that we get that, and also his back story. One thing that I wish we got is maybe a sneak peek into the past of Luc and Kar's conversation when they first met til the time when Luc left out the door wit her still in bed.

I got so into the second half of the book, I just couldn't put the book down. This book was very emotional for me that I even cried and couldn't stop. I seriously cried. The second half of SIN UNDONE was engaging and intense and feel like your really are apart of the Demonica world. I know that I felt like I was apart of the world.

Ione couldn't have wrote a better ending, because everything was perfect and still I want more. This is such as wonderful series and if you haven't read the Demonica Series yet, you really need to get on it. This is a beautifully written paranormal romance series that just captures your heart.
