I received this ebook from the publisher.

Keegan lives to exact revenge on the evil demon who sired and abused him. When his father devises a plan to bring on the apocalypse, he and his three half-brothers, interdimensional bounty hunters for the Elden Council, are charged with capturing and delivering their father for punishment.

Art gallery owner Brynn Meyers has no idea that her ability to read memories embedded in objects and drain people of their life force means she has demon ancestry. Unfortunately for Brynn, she’s also the key to raising an ancient zombie army, which puts her on every demon’s Most Wanted List.

And no one wants her more than Keegan’s father.

Keegan must protect Brynn from his father by any means necessary, but he’ll have to learn to harness the other half of his genetics—the far deadlier, uncontrollable half—when he starts to fall for the one woman standing between him and the vengeance he so desperately seeks. The one woman he’ll never be able to resist.

Blood of the Demon has cemented its self as one of my favourite books of the year. Keegan is the oldest of four sexy demon brothers. He's strong, complex and very alpha. He does have a tendency to close himself and put his brothers before himself. I really enjoyed his protectiveness over his brothers and how he was willing to do anything to keep them safe. Then along comes a woman that tempts like never before. Too bad she's the key to the apocalypse. He does everything in his power to avoid falling for her. Brynn is feisty and not afraid to make her opinions heard against a group of pushy, overbearing males. I think she handles her new position as the key to the apocalypse pretty well. Sparks fly between her and Keegan immediately, and their interactions are fantastic. I also enjoyed Keegan's brothers and can't wait to read about them in their own books. Their father is evil to the core and will stop at nothing to get what he wants. You can't help but feel for his sons and what he put them through. I'd love to bring one of them home and look after him.

The story is great, with plenty of action, drama and sizzling between-the-sheets antics. If you're a fan of Larissa Ione or Eve Silver, then Blood of the Demon will be right up your alley.
