Summary: Mara Cantor’s life is boring and uncomplicated, and she likes it that way. She has her internship at the museum—a job she shares with her roommate, Davis—and while it is low-paying and occasionally mind-numbing, it gives her all the free time she needs to finish her thesis. And that is just fine. But when Argent Leeds, the internationally famous playboy and raconteur, visits Mara’s museum, he brings with him the most exciting archeological discovery in decades: the Pazuzu gemstones. Long assumed to be nothing more than a myth by most scholars, the gemstones are rumored to possess mystical powers. Between Argent, his gemstones, and Davis, Mara’s boring life has suddenly gotten very complicated. Now she is caught up in a sexual adventure that is either the most exciting time of her life . . . or the most terrifying

What I Loved: Even though I was not crazy about this book, it was well-written. Also, I love the premise of this story- I think the author has a good storyline with the myth of the Pazuzu gemstones but unfortunately, just didn't produce.
Not So Much: I struggled with this book as you can tell with the two star rating. I found the plot to be all over the place with unnecessary scenes that dragged. There were too many moments when I had to stop and question what the author was trying to get at. For me, there was no catch to this book. The initial "Warning: Dark Themes, Explicit Content" on Goodreads obviously drew me in immediately but there is no need for this warning. It never kept my interest so I kept putting off reading it. This was just not my cup of tea.
Next on my TBR list: Dark and Stormy by Felicia Starr
