 Brilliant! October 18, 2008
The previous reviewer talks about the one thing in the book which doesn't play a major part, the ethnicity of the main characters. Yes, one is Indian and one American, and yes, the cover doesn't reflect this. But in the majority of cases it's not the Author's decision what cover their book gets. The book is about a Human and a Vampire, that's the whole point of it, not that the Vampire is American and the Human is Indian.
Also she has mentioned giving up when she got to page 50, when Savitri was perusing the on-line marriage ads. Please! This doesn't detract from the story at all.
How can you base your review of a book on these 2 points when you only got to page 50 and the book is 470 pages long?
This book is part of a series, in order of publishing:-
"Falling for Anthony" in Hot Spell (Nov 2005)(Novella)
Demon Angel (Jan 2007)(Full Length)
"Paradise" in Wild Thing (May 2007)(Novella)
Demon Moon (June 2007)(Full Length)
Demon Night (Feb 2008)(Full Length)
"Thicker Than Blood" in First Blood (Aug 2008)(Novella)
Demon Bound (Nov 2008)(Full Length)
I have read all 3 full length books published to date and this is by far my favorite. It's an amazing story and when you get to the end I promise you, you'll be wishing it hadn't ended and want it go on and on. It's brilliantly written and the relationship between the two leads is so intense. It's an amazing book and I urge you to buy it and give it a try. I also urge you to buy the other full length books Demon Angel and Demon Night as they are also brilliant and thoroughly enjoyable. They are longer in page length than most books of this type and therefore there is a better story, better understanding of the characters, etc.
I eagerly await Demon Bound coming in Nov 08 and will pre-order as soon as it's available.
If you enjoy books by J R Ward, Kresley Cole, Angela Knight, Nalini Singh, Alexis Morgan, etc, you will enjoy this series. If you haven't yet read books by these Authors I urge you to give them a try!

The cover is completely misleading.
This is an inter-racial paranormal romance. Indian and American. So why hide it? Are the readers not allowed to make informed choices before they buy their books?
What's more. Demon Moon is full of the value system of the elitist diaspora of a different culture. While I know plenty of women who are put under pressure by various relatives to marry and/or have kids I'm really not interested in reading about it in anything other than a social tract.
I got to page 50 where the heroine started perusing the on-line marriage ads in order to keep her horrible granny happy and then I gave up. Give me potty-mouthed Abby any day. At least she knew her relations were trash.
Arundhati Roy is not for me and neither is this.
But I'd be more than happy to read the story of Gideon and Savannah, the inter-racial couple from Lara Adrian's gob-smackingly lurid, Kiss of Crimson. (Amazon deleted my review of that. Too many spoilers)
