Surviving Demon Island

Thrill-seeking female action-movie star, Gina Bliss, needs a new challenge, so when shes offered a spot on a new very secretive reality show hunting demons on a deserted island, she jumps at the chance. But this reality show turns out to be more real than everyone expectedand so is the danger.

Derek Marks knows whats really going on, both on the island and in the world. Immersed in the never-ending fight against the forces of evil (I know that sounds so clichd), he still finds the time to break through the walls of Ginas celebrity persona and emotional walls - caused by the disappearance of her mother when she was a child. But even an expert military man like him is in for the surprise of his life.

I really enjoyed this steamy, show more action-packed, paranormal romance. My first experience with Jaci Burton has me looking forward to many sequels. I dont want to go into too much detail and ruin the plot twists, but I was entertained by both the characterizations of the good guys and the bad ones, and the interesting concept of the series (yes, there is a sequel). Burton has created strong characters with a good measure of depth - pasts, emotions, realistic reactions - well-done action scenes, plot surprises, and some smokin sexual tension. Derek is another ultimate alpha male with a tortured past (the best kind)! And Gina gives him a run for his moneyand kicks his ass a time or two. I like Gina, a female who doesnt just have a strong personality but is strong physically as well. You dont see that as often and I enjoyed it immensely. show less

Great concept. Kinda Buffy meets Demon Knight, but it just fell short for me. I would be really hard pressed to tell you why, but it just didn't do it for me.
