Condemned by the gods to live out his existence without emotions, Xypher chose the pursuit of sensations, to feel again in the dreams of humans, only to find himself condemned to death. But he is given one last chance at a reprieve. Made human for a month, he must redeem himself within that time or Hades will return him to Tartarus and his torture.
Simone Dubois is a coroner who isn’t scared by much, especially since she’s psychic and can see and hear the people she’s working on. When they wheel in another victim, she doesn’t think much about it, until he gets up from her table and starts to leave.
Xypher doesn’t have time to spend with this human woman and her questions. But it’s not long before mysterious attempts on Simone’s life force Xypher to stand between the woman who is beginning to touch the heart he thought had died a long time ago and the danger that is threatening her life.

Humour, snappy dialogue and general character crankiness make this one of Kenyon's most entertaining. The interplay between characters is lively, and the plot threads twisty - all leading to a most excellent adventure
Brisk, ironic, sexy, and relentlessly imaginative
