In the book Eric and Fiona, the incredibly plain fifteen-year-old orphans find not only are their parents still alive by they are immortals. The offspring of a divine goddess and Lucifer himself, the pair find themselves in the midst of a supernatural custody battle.

Currently I am reading the novel, but this I can tell you this much so far. Even as an objective reviewer, I am finding it difficult to take myself from turning pages to post this story. I have found the story, thus far, to be original and wholly enjoyable. Check back next week for word on the completed review.
