Lucinda has dwelt in eternal darkness. As a demon princess, she exists in an endless, joyless realm. But she is about to discover a need she never knew existed-not for power, not for blood-but for a more dangerous passion with a lone warrior.
Full of paranormal passion, Sunny's fast-paced first in a new erotic fantasy series, the Demon Princess Chronicles, introduces Lucinda, a 600-year-old demon princess who's getting bored with her long unlife. At least she has an official duty to pass the time: seeking out wayward demons and returning them to Hell. Lucinda finds herself attracted to Stefan, a renegade warrior of the alien Monère, but before they can get too cozy, duty calls and she must track down another rogue, Nico. She brings Nico to his cruel queen, but then claims him for her own along with Talon, a maltreated Floradëur, "a flower of darkness," whose blood gives demons more power. The whole crew goes to Hell to recharge Lucinda's supernatural batteries and return Talon to his own kind, with Derek, a dangerous demon who wants Talon back, in pursuit. Sunny (Mona Lisa Awakening) has created a Hell reminiscent of Anne Bishop's Black Jewels trilogy and the fiction of Laurell K. Hamilton. (Aug.)

November 11, 2009: Being such a big fan of Sunny's characters from the Mona Lisa series, I was looking forward to read up on what Prince Halcyon's sister, Lucinda, was like. Who was this high princess of hell, Blaec's other child? I'm so glad I read the Mona Lisa series first because I could have wasted so much time following Lucinda's story, which pales in comparison. I made it as far as chapter four before I realized that the story wasn't going to be anywhere near as intriguing or exciting as I hoped it to be. Not worth the $11 I dropped on the eBook version of this story. Sorry Sunny, but a series as captivating and unique as Mona Lisa's would be a seriously tough act to follow. This first book I bought (Lucinda, Darkly) will most definitely be the last (for this series at least).
I Also Recommend: Mona Lisa Awakening (Monere Series #1), Mona Lisa Blossoming (Monere Series #2).
