Publisher Description
In a world where evil has broken free, she is the chosen prey.
After an accident left her near death, Sera Littlejohn is struggling to piece together her life. But when a violet-eyed stranger reveals a supernatural battle veiled in the shadows, Sera is tempted to the edge of madness by a dangerous desire.
Ferris Archer takes Sera Littlejohn under his wing now that she is talyan, possessed by a repentant demon with hellish powers. Archer and his league of warriors have long risked their demon-shattered souls to stop darker spirits from wreaking havoc, but they’ve never fought beside a female talya before. And never in all his centuries has Archer found a woman who captivates him like Sera. With the balance shifting between good and evil, passion and possession, Sera and Archer must defy the darkness and dare to embrace a love that will mark them forever.

"Had everything I look for in a paranormal and the world-building is fabulous. Epic clash between angels and demons, using the souls of mankind as their battleground. It's edgy and hot, plus the writing is lovely. Add in delightful characters and a strong sense of place, and you get a wonderful book."
— Ann (5 out of 5 stars)

— Gena Showalter, New York Times bestselling author -
“Seduced by Shadows blew me away! Sera and Archer won my heart at first glance. Slade creates a beyond-life-or-death struggle for love and redemption in a chilling, complex, and utterly believable world—one I can’t wait to return to again and again.”
— Jeri Smith-Ready, award-winning urban fantasy author -

" I enjoyed the author's take on demon possession. I haven't read anything quite like it. I just found it strange that Sera had to be one of the first females who is demon possessed in known history. I wish the story had a reason for it. "

" book not bad,Sera is a bitch! I understand you want a strong heroine ,but there is a line between don't tread on me and ball bustin bitch. Will read next in series though as premise is good. "
— Suzanne, 1/19/2014 -
" Sera really annoyed me and Ferris wasn't much better. "
— Casey, 1/10/2014 -
" Not your ordinary book about demons... these ones are damned but are still fighting anyway. "
— Maria, 12/29/2013 -
" DNF. moves too slow and is way to metaphysical with all the demons and realms. "
— Diane, 11/19/2013 -
" This is such an intelligently written book. The characters were so engaging. The plot masterful. I couldn't put it down. "
— Susan, 11/15/2013 -
" Ugh. Made it to about page 120 and gave up. Reminded me of a dull, rambling, poorly written version of Gena Showalter's Lords of the Underworld series. That was 2 hours of my life I can't get back. I will not be reading the other 2. "
— Nancy, 10/19/2013 -
" I was in the mood for a little romance so I thought I'd try this one. It was an ok read. The world that Slade created was interesting enough, but the main character Sena was sort of lackluster for me. I never really connected with her so the story line was sort of ho-hum. "
— Urban, 9/25/2013 -
" I got this book as a gift. It is not a genre that I have ever read before but I enjoyed it. I'm not sure I will run out and buy another vampire/demon book but if I do, I will start looking with Jessa Slade. "
— Kim, 5/31/2013 -
" I enjoyed it and will definitely read the rest of the series. "
— Shari, 1/10/2013 -
" Was A DNF. Did not even get passed page 40. "
— Katie(babs), 11/23/2012 -
" This book starts off a little slow and takes a while to get to anything interesting. Once it picks up it is easy to read. An interesting twist on demons and possession. This is the first book in the series so there is some world building and I'm sure the next book will start off a little smoother. "
— Kasey, 9/24/2012 -
" this was an interesting story. Interesting because I couldn't remember what it was about till I read the synopsis again. I did enjoy listening to it but it would have probably stuck with me if I had read it, though if I had I may not have gotten through it. Not sure. "
— Rebekah, 8/20/2012 -
" I really liked this book. My only complaint about it was that I didn't understand Corvus's role in the story until maybe the fifth time the point of view shifted to his. But overall the story was great: wonderful plot, very cool characters. I will definitely be reading more of this series. :) "
— Jen, 1/14/2012 -
" This book by Jessa Slade is even better than the first in the series! Loved it. "
— Delilah, 12/20/2010 -
" I got this book as a gift. It is not a genre that I have ever read before but I enjoyed it. I'm not sure I will run out and buy another vampire/demon book but if I do, I will start looking with Jessa Slade. "
— Kim, 8/2/2010 -
" Some of the world building was confusing and this book really reminded me alot of Sherri L. King's Shikar series. Still a good beginning and will read more. "
