Review: Getting Familiar with Your Demon (That Old Black Magic #4) by Jodi Redford

Release date: February 28, 2012
Synopsis (Goodreads)

He should push her away…but he’d rather have his wicked way with her.

After too many years learning death from the inside out as the familiar of a voodoo queen, soul collector Samael Gorasola betrayed his boss, which landed him on demon death row.

He should have known not even his punishment would come easy, but the deal he’s offered to escape his fate stinks. Become the indentured servant to his despised enemy? No thanks, he’d rather be six feet under. With that in mind, he picks a deadly fight with two demon hunters, only to be rescued by one misguided, deliciously innocent white witch.

Marabella hasn’t a clue what possessed her to help Sam, particularly since he’s not the least bit grateful. She blames it on her overwhelming attraction to the dark, dangerous demon, and her exasperating quest to rid herself of the stubborn curse that guards her virginity. If the guild finds out, though, she can kiss her white-witch status goodbye.

A kiss is exactly what she gets, followed by a consuming hunger that breaks down all heavenly and earthly barriers…and leaves Sam saddled with the one thing he never wanted, a conscience, and a connection to Marabella that puts her soul on the line.

Warning: This book contains torturous use of disco music, one sinfully sexy demon who revels in being bad, a virgin witch whose innocence runs more than skin deep, and plenty of wicked, forbidden sex with explosive side effects—literally.

My Thoughts:  Oh.My.GAWD.  I LOVED this book.  Loved it.  Sam is just *fans self* my type of demon.  *fans self some more*  He's got that killer-esque vibe and, you know, he's a demon and he's... well, he's awesometastic.  I'd steal him and tuck him away in my closet so I could bring him out to play every once in a while but I don't think he'd stay put.

First off, I adore this entire series.  It's quirky, fun and it has some of the hottest damn men you can imagine.  What's not to like?!?  Each book introduces new elements to the overall mythology and keeps the supernatural hits coming.  The bad guys are nasty, the good guys are naughty and the sex sizzles.  Boy, does the sex sizzle.

So. Sam.  What can I say about this guy?  He's rude, sexy, built and he has a kernel of decency hidden away inside.  Marabella is a perfect foil for him.  She's genuinely sweet, completely virginal and resigned to staying that way.  Fortunately for her, Sam's not very good at playing by the rules and he swoops in to blow her socks off.  *cue porntastic music*

Yep, I love these guys.  I love Sam's cousins and Sam's gun.  I'm not talking euphemistically, either.  He has a cool gun.  Really.  REALLY!  I just flat out love crawling into this world that Jodi Redford has created and wallowing in it.  *rolls around a bit*  Yep.  I love it.
