Review
Armusik definitely does not disappoint in this latest installment of the Gothic Memoirs series.  Where actors' may steal the stage, she has truly stolen the page!

For those fans who are true fans of Gothic horror, they have probably been wondering, as have I, if the story includes Lilith, Samuel, Adam and Eve, Lucifer and the other Archangels, what about the anti-Christ?  Well, wonder no more.  Though it has yet to be revealed who he is, it is made known in this book that he does indeed exist. 

Michael finally gives Nadija and Alexei the wedding present he promised them, their memories and graces.  While becoming readjusted with whom they truly are they learn they aren't the only ones from Eden who are still living.  And that person would like nothing more than to watch Nadija suffer and pay for living the life, as Lilith, that she believes should have rightfully been hers.  The Nasu, also known as Jess, is still out for Nadija as well, it may finally be time to deal with her once and for all, or else.  As if those two alone aren't enough to deal with, there are also mortal groups who know the truth, and blame Lilith for the pain and suffering on earth.  With so many out for her blood survival is beginning to look like an impossibility.  On a happier note, Michael takes some time to spend with his sons, to train them for battle.  And Crash may be joining his best friends world completely.  The truth is behind Lizzy's death is also revealed, and with her death and another, someone will be coming back home.

As per usual, Armusik grabs ahold of readers, throws them completely into the story until the very end where she leaves them gasping for air and looking for more.  Readers will get the feeling of love, betrayal, shock and revelation and will never suffer a dull moment.
