Review

This is a short story of only approximately five pages that occurs nine months after the events in Revenant. It mainly covers the birth of Idess and Lore's baby and the reveal of which of Lore's brothers is the baby's biological father. It also shows Revenant and Blaspheme happy and looking forward to seeing what the future holds. I loved this little slice of life from the Demonica world. I'd been looking forward to this event and was glad to see it wasn't overlooked. However, Larissa Ione wrote a note in which she explained that this epilogue was originally intended for the novel, but it ultimately wasn't included because her editor thought it would be too confusing for new readers. This is one of those cases where I have to disagree. I personally felt it was kind of disrespectful to long-time readers, like myself, who've been with the Demonica series from the beginning, to not include it. Sure, it's available on Ms. Ione's website for free, but not all readers frequent author websites to even realize it's there. So I believe having it in the book would have been a better way to show appreciation for loyal fans, but in any case, I'm happy we got to find out this little tidbit. Overall, I thought it was a fun wrap-up to the story. This story is available for free on the author's website as part of her Demonica: Overkill anthology of short stories.
