Thank you to NetGalley and Blue Box Press for this ARC.

While this book may not be for me, I do believe there are others out there that will thoroughly enjoy it. Eva and Logan are easily likeable characters. I do think I like Eva the most. The idea of demons and humans integrating as well as demons and horseman centered characters and plot is very intriguing and initially drew me to this book. The writing was very palatable and made it easy for me to be swept into the story. The romance and tension between two of the characters was also great.

Now, I’ll just say the overarching storyline pertaining to the antagonist was a bit too much for me, but others may like it a lot. The pacing is a little too slow. I don’t believe this book needs to be as long as it is, there is a lot of filler scenes and dialogue that could ultimately be edited out and still be left with a powerful story. A good portion of the dialogue was unrealistic and seemed a bit awkward to me at times, and I think there were some parts that would have been better with a little more show rather than tell.

While I didn’t enjoy this book as much as I thought I would, I do believe it was good and different. I think a lot of people will enjoy this especially for the fantastical romance and unique plot.

I had fun with this book! I hadn’t read any of her other books in this world but might have to check some out now. It was entertaining and I enjoyed the world being so unique. So many fantasy novels lately like this feel very similar but this has a different vibe and reminds me of some of the older series in a good way (Shadowhunters and a little Bufffy-esque).

Definitely a fun read not too serious I’d recommend if you are in the book to just be entertained.

It's such an immersive world, which I appreciate, but this one wasn't a love for me as much as some of the others set in the same space. There weren't any characters I really loved this time around, which made the book feel just a bit too long. And given how much back history there is, I don't think readers would have a good time if they hadn't read the previous series. This one was heavier on the romance, like a teen drama. I still had fun with it, but not as great of a read as I was hoping for. 3.5.

I had forgotten how engrossing this world is! This book felt like revisiting old friends, but also meeting dynamic new ones!!

Larissa Ione's 'Legacy of Temptation' is a devilishly captivating addition to the Demonica universe, weaving a spellbinding tale of love, sacrifice, and demonic intrigue. As the first book in the Demonica Birthright series, it seamlessly continues the legacy of Ione’s popular Demonica Series. The narrative unfolds with Eva Tennant, a Deputy Spokesperson for The Aegis, entangled in a web of murder, fugitive pursuits, and demonic vendettas. Enter Logan, son of Death, a demon-fighting force of nature, tasked with protecting the very person responsible for the deaths of his friends.

Ione's storytelling prowess shines through vivid character dynamics and a plot that crackles with tension. The chemistry between Eva and Logan is palpable, their forbidden connection adding layers of complexity to an already gripping storyline. 'Legacy of Temptation' can be enjoyed as a standalone, but its true depth is revealed when you're immersed in the rich backstory and characters of the Demonica universe. A five-star journey into a realm where temptation reigns supreme, leaving readers eagerly anticipating the next demonic twist.

Thanks to Ms Ione, the publisher and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I was entertained but didn’t really connect to the characters and it was not at all what I expected. Heavy on romance and there are a lot of names and terms to remember. I realized it was part of a much longer series so I believe if one had read all those this would be way more your cup of tea. It was fun though and silly at times like a good bad tv show.
