*I was provided a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review.

What an awesome read! This is a super short one, but doesn't lack punch!
Azra is a creature of Fae, and she is attacked by a Demon, and this leads to her having a child from the attack. She loves her child but it is half demon - which causes the Fae to want to kill her child!
After he is taken over by the demon part of his heritage, she does everything she can to save him, he is half her too!
This is fast paced, intriguing and just really fantastic! My only complaint was that there wasn't more of it to read! Even though it is about Fae and demons, you should never underestimate a mothers love!
Not recommended for younger readers.

This book is different from anything I have read. It emphasizes the love of a mother for her child. The sacrifices that she is willing to make to keep her son safe are a mother's worse fear. As her fears are realized she finds a way to overcome them and create a safe place for her son.
