    About this audiobook

    Things to do:

    1. Rescue sister.

    2. Murder grandmother.

    3. Don't upset the voodoo priestess.

    The clock is ticking for Sabina Kane. Her sister has been kidnapped by her grandmother, the Dark Races are on the brink of war, and a mysterious order is manipulating everyone behind the scenes.

    Working on information provided by an unlikely ally, Sabina and her trusty sidekicks-a sexy mage named Adam Lazarus and Giguhl, a Mischief demon-head to New Orleans to begin the hunt for her sister. Once there, they must contend with belligerent werewolves, magic-wielding vampires, and, perhaps most frightening of all, humans.

    But as much as Sabina is focused on surviving the present, the past won't be ignored. Before she can save those she cares about most, she must save herself from the ghosts of her past.

      I find that this series gets more enjoyable for me as it goes along as Sabina becomes less of a bitch and mellows out. I mean, considering her upbringing, the crankiness is warranted--she was raised by vampires who treated her as a repulsive half-breed--and it's great to see her character develop. New Orleans itself is a character in the book, and Wells utilizes it well. I was happy that Giguhl was in cat form more often in this book; I really missed that in book 2. There's just something delightful about a big, hulking demon being forced into the form of a hairless house cat. A number of other fantastic characters stepped into this book, too, such as Brooks and Erron.In all, a fun and fast urban fantasy read.
    • 5/5
      SPOILERS for previous 2 books present.Three days after The Mage in Black where the big battle had taken place and Maisie is now missing, kidnapped, and only just a few short days after Violent Tendencies, we pick up with Sabina having her own kidnapping in mind. We find out there is more than just saving Maisie involved. There's politics mixed in between the different races due to the war coming and Sabina's not good with politics. Will this affect the rescue of Maisie? Will this stop the war from coming or plunge all the races head first into it? Sabina works with Adam and Giguhl to find her sister but does she have to work with them to save her sister, or does she need to go it alone...First off I'm going to start with saying I L-O-O-O-V-E-D this book. I love the characters, Adam, Sabina, Giguhl, and the new ones we meet too. I loved the action. I loved the humor that made me laugh out loud and read sections two or three times to enjoy them again! And the story has depth and perfect direction. All great things, but when they are mixed together so perfectly... end result, a great book to enjoy and not be able to put down. Jaye Wells has jumped to the top of my favorites list.So, after that paragraph do you still need me to go on? Okay, I will. :)The plot had a depth to it to give us a story to read and get into where people could double cross each other with their own plans of their own regarding the issue of War between the races. And you might be surprised who's on what side. The story also has more going on with Cain and Lilith and the possibilities of so much more with them. Things of future works, I hope. ;) We get to visit different places; Los Angels, the Seelie Court, and New Orleans.The book starts right into the action and doesn't easy up. If there is a moment of no action, we are learning something important to go with the plot, but then dive right back into the action again. Every section takes advantage of the words used. No section is dragged out but perfect lengths to give you the humor, action, and information and on to the next. Jaye also does a great job of updating us with past events in the beginning of the book, so if there is a time between reading the last book you will have no troubles with being refreshed.The characters... Sabina has grown so much for and through this book, as compared to where she started. She still has a tough streak, which I hope she never losses, but she has started to let others in, and accept it. We have Giguhl, Sabina's minion, and he shows a softer side at times in this book. Then we have the hot and sexy, love potential for Sabina, Adam. And we get a full book with him. He is one great character.I will definitely be looking for Silver-Tongued Devil January 2012!
    • 4/5
      I enjoyed this book very much! I liked it better than the previous book, but maybe not quite as much as I liked the first one. In this volume, Sabina, her handsome Mage Adam, and her demon travel to New Orleans to try to rescue Sabina's twin Maisie. There will be lots of baddies to defeat in order to do this, including Lavinia, Sabina's evil vampire aunt and ruler of the vampire class. The great things? We have a couple of really interesting new characters. Brooks is a favorite and I hope he stays around in the future. Giguhl is at his best, both showing his sensitive and comedic sides to perfection. Adam, who I was never overly crazy about, really won me over for some reason in this installment. I think its because he really understands Sabina and doesn't pout over the small stuff. The action is intense and the investigation into Maisie's whereabouts were all done very well and it was a lot of fun. The book is much better paced than the previous one. As others have mentioned, Sabina shows a tremendous amount of necessary restraint and growth of character. She is honest with herself about her motives and I also find that refreshing for heroines in the genre. A brief negative: Its been awhile since I read the second book and I felt like the book really jumped in. Sometimes we get too much information that we already know about our characters in subsequent installments but here I felt like I didn't get enough 'memory joggers'. Therefore the book was just a little confusing at first to get back into. The political relationships and dealings are understood by the characters to such a degree that a few times its apparent they 'get it' but I wasn't sure I really did. Still this series is not to be missed and it really is one of my favorites on the market right now. This is a must buy for me!

      Warning: Spoilers may abound as this is the 3rd in the series!Brief summary from Goodreads:"The clock is ticking for Sabina Kane. She has to save her sister from her mysterious captors. And in order to do that, she has to broker a deal between the mages and the vampires before all hell breaks loose.But as much as Sabina is focused on surviving the present, the past won’t be ignored. Before she can save those she cares about, she’s got to save herself from the ghosts of her past. Because the past is haunting her. Literally."Likes?I feel like it is cheating if I say everything but that is literally the truth. I loved this book, thought it was just as good as the first two (if not better), and couldn't put it down until I turned the last page. What more could you want from a book? I loved that we saw Sabina and Adam's relationship develop more in this novel, and I can't wait to see what will happen in future books between them. The story was filled with suspense as Sabina is constantly hunting down leads attempting to find where her sister is being hidden. I also liked that we are beginning to see more of Sabina's magical abilities and I'm hoping that we continue to see her grow in future stories. I loved the new characters that were introduced especially the drag queen appropriately named "Pussy Willow". Even with the new characters, Sabina was as kick-ass as ever while also having a little vulnerability to her. Her character is one of the reasons why this series is so great. Plus, Giguhl of course :) This is a book that I wouldn't hesitate to recommend! And if you haven't given Sabina a try already then you really should.Dislikes?My only dislike is that I have to wait so long for Silver-Tongued Devil to come out. I really don't think that I can wait.Final Thoughts:Enough with the gushing already...if you can't tell, I loved this book and I love this series! Jaye Wells is one of those authors that I would read ANYTHING that she has written (or is going to write). This series is just that good in my opinion. I thought that this book was a great addition to this series and I can't wait to see what kind of trouble Sabina finds herself in next.Disclosure: I checked this book out from my local library but it is going on my buy list! I'm thinking a reread will be in order of this series soon :)

    • 4/5
      For those who haven't read the earlier books or who don't remember all the details, the opening chapter very nicely interweaves action with exposition to remind readers of what's happened previously*. Still, it's probably best to read this series in order.I like how Sabina has matured since the first book. For someone who started out so reckless, almost to the point of apathetic self-destruction, watching her try to build relationships, think about consequences and restrain her impulses is really satisfying. Not that she becomes a milquetoast character by any means -- she's still a smart-mouth who sometimes flies off the handle -- but she tries to plan ahead and think about repercussions before she acts now.I also really like how her (romantic) relationship with Adam develops in this book - there's still a lot of push-pull and not just because she's a vampire and he's a mage - but it makes sense and, I think, is part of what helps to ground the new, mature version of herself. Also, Giguhl, her demon/cat familiar... so cute!The humor is sometimes a little more frat-boy/slap-stick than I generally care for, but it's consistent (so if you've liked it in the past, you'll probably still like it).The plotting is fine, no complaints, but this is definitely a series I read more for the characters more than for the action.* (There's also occasional info-dumping paragraphs further in the book that I'm going to blame on the editor, since I've seen those sort of back-catalog spoilers pretty consistently within this genre. Personally, I find that they discourage me from reading any books I've missed, but it seems to be an industry standard.)This review is based on a digital ARC received via NetGalley.
    • 5/5
      I love Sabrina Kane, she is damaged, she is strong and she wants to better life for those she loves. She just can't seem to be comfortable with the whole 'love' thing. Big bad is coming for her, they have her sister and they want more, her. She fights to save her sister, her hot mage partner Adam and Mr Giggles her demon. The big bad has chosen to go through her friends to get to her. Things get complicated, choices have to be made, hard ones.
      I loved the ending !

      I like Sabina and her companions but this entry in the series kind of left me flat. I will read the next book, but not right away.
    • 5/5
      Green-Eyed Demon is the third book in the Sabina Kane series, by Jaye Wells. When I requested this book, I didn’t realize that it was the third book in a series. So, I was understandably worried about reading Green-Eyed Demon. I was wrong. I was able to easily jump into Sabina Kane’s world. Jaye Wells gave just enough information that new readers could easily catch up, but not so much that old readers would be bored. I quickly became a fan of this book/series. After reading only two sentences, I was already in love with Sabina. She is tough, with a vulnerable side she keeps hidden. She was funny and had caustic wit about her. Sabina is constantly struggling to control her tongue and her temper. She is a half-vamp and half-mage. Sabina is joined by Adam, a hunky mage, and Giguhl, a mischief demon who is also Sabina’s minion. Giguhl has named the three-man team “Team Awesome”. And they are awesome. Their mutual respect and friendship is obvious, and deep running. What also makes this trio interesting is that Sabina and Adam are clearly attracted to each other. The will they/won’t they aspect is fun to read, especially with the Giguhl as Sabina’s advisor in matters of the heart. What I liked most about Green-Eyed Demon is that it was a very funny book. The humor is clever. I found myself smiling a lot as I read this book. Here’s an example: Sabina doesn’t really like humans, so when she meets a mostly human voodoo priestess, she is instantly skeptical. The lady in question, Zen, accuses Sabina of being a “dark-race supremacist”. When Sabina denies this, she is asked if she has any “mortally challenged friends”. The book kept me laughing at the things Sabina and company say, do and see. There is one very funny scene involving mage rock stars, dwarf strippers and Peeping Toms. Trust me. It was good! I have to say, on the whole, that Green-Eyed Demon was a thoroughly enjoyable read. Any book that makes me smile is going to get high marks. Now, I need to rush back and read the first two books in the series, before book four comes out! *I received Green-Eyed Demon via NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review. *
    • 4/5
      Green Eyed Demon is a major improvement over its predecessor. I laughed, I cried, I sniggered at the dirty, filthy orgy. Yes, you read correctly.

      What made this so good other than Giguhl's rib-crackingly funny comments, was Sabina's growth. She's been through hell and is having to adapt quickly along the way. It's a rocky road. She makes mistakes. She gets knocked down but she always, always picks her wounded ass back up and lives to fight for another day.

      Her fierce determination in protecting those she loves gives her pause. She loves? When did that happen? She's a kick-ass emotionless assassin. Since when did she love anyone, or have anyone to love her? She questions her identity. She was an assassin but who and what is she now? All this leaves her vulnerable and confused. She does her best to cope but the pressures of her sister's kidnapping, her homicidal grandmother and her undefined relationship with Adam, get in the way.

      Speaking of Adam. The title refers to Sabina's jealousy regarding him and Giguhl. Her family. Hers. No one elses. They're there when she needs them: in battle, for advice and for a shoulder to cry on. The most useful advice comes from Giguhl (it's all that Oprah he watches) who tell her to seize the day because there may not be a tomorrow.

      Sabina has so much to accomplish that she's advised to make a To Do List which went:
      1. Perform voodoo ritual on evil owl.
      2. Find out who sold us out to the anachronistic Caste vampires.
      3. Make amends with lesbian werewolf.
      4. Rescue twin.
      5. Murder grandmother.
      Surreal, no?

      Anyway, this is fast-paced with lots of action, a little romance and tons of laughs. However, I can't give it 5 stars for one major reason which is difficult to explain without spoilers but I'll give it a shot. But you have been warned.

      There were two characters that were near death. One was healed with the help of 3 very powerful mages but the other, only one for an injury that I would assume given the magic rules, would be impossible to "heal". Plus, the circumstances in which they were injured meant that person should be dead. This didn't sit well with me which is why it's taken me so long to write a review. But I can also see it from the author's point of view. This character was important and needed to survive but wanted to keep the "everyone thinks they're dead" angst (which was excellent by the way. It produced a highly emotional action scene).

      I've never taken to Sabina's overly optimistic and wishy-washy sister so I was pleased she "suffered". I don't wish for her to be jaded, she just needs a bit more reality in her world view to make her more likeable.

      The excerpt from the next book was intriguing. 114 days without violence, huh? Sounds dull. Not for long, I bet!
    • 4/5
      If I were to review this book at only half way through it, my rating would have been lower. The story moves along in the series and the situations are different, but it very much had the feel of the same old, same old. But then I started noticing a difference. The characters introduced to us in New Orleans became more interesting, as did how Sabina sees both Adam and Giguhl. And with her new insight, the conversations have more meaning and everything seemed to grow, including Sabina.In this story the gang is trying to find Sabina's twin Maisie, kidnapped by their world-dominating-goaled grandmother and a tip from an unexpected source leads them to New Orleans. And we learn that grandma-dearest isn't in the biggest threat that they face.The story really started grabbing me about halfway through it. Expect a great deal of action and emotions. And the way is opened up for a new directions.
