No good deed goes unpunished.

Riley Masters learns this the hard way when she finds a wallet and decides to do the right thing. But returning it will cost her much more than she bargains for.

Abandoned by her mother, raised by an indifferent father, Riley has accepted the fact that she would be alone always. She has no idea that a single act of kindness would propel her into a world where creatures that shouldn’t exist guard the human race from the demons that lurk in the shadows. That it will cost her the lives of those she loves while unearthing a destiny she never imagined with a man who is forbidden to love her. She finds passion, romance and the family she’d been searching for her entire life, but at what cost and what is she willing to sacrifice to find answers and happiness?

Octavian Maxwell has always known his place. He is a Caster, a Son of Judgment. His job is to protect the mortal world from the creatures plotting to destroy it. Instead, his world is shattered when a human girl walks into Final Judgment, a girl he has been searching for his entire life, a girl he is forbidden to ever touch. Being with her will break the oath he’s sworn to never love a mortal. But his heart has already found its mate and it refuses to let go.

Final Judgment… a place undetected, a gateway to evil and a legend that will undo everything anyone has ever known about our world.

Really good...can't believe I can't get the sequels yet...

Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2014

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE'S MORE AND THEY AREN'T OUT YET!

I was a little nervous about this book. I got the sample and read that before buying and was still nervous. The sample was good enough and made me curious enough to buy the actual book, but I didn’t know what to expect.

Things to note:

1. This book takes place in the British Columbia.
2. IF you guess what Octavian is, you deserve to be labeled a genius because I did not see that coming AT ALL! I actually read that part twice to make sure I read what I thought I read.
3. If you like lots of or detailed sexy time, you may not like this book. It’s at the VERY END and was a very light scene

Now one of the deciding factors for me was that the book was so long. My Amazon said that it was over 500, which I really really liked. When it said I had thirty pages left actually I was like “No, there must be more! How can you wrap this up?”. However it did wrap up and now I am eagerly waiting books 2 and three which are already on Goodreads, but not out which is really disappointing because I want them like YESTERDAY.

One thing that really bothered me was that the main character and the one friend she makes (so you know she will be important later) have red hair. Really? Why? Not that I hate redheads, just I really like characters having different colors of hair and I thought that was a little much.

There is no explanation for how Octavian and his family make their money. They obviously have a lot of it and the bar seems seemingly successful, but really where does the money come from? Especially since the people at the bar don’t pay with money. How do they convert it? It’s not a big deal, but it just bothered me a little.

If you like sexy time you may not like this book because its not there, like at all. Its at the end and all 500 pages leading up to that point they don’t touch AT ALL. There was so much sexual tension built up throughout the first 500 pages and when we finally got to that point it was very anti-climatic. I was just disappointed. I don’t mind no sexy time, but when its built up that much and nothing comes of it, it seems like a waste of words.

I love it when there are BROTHERS!!!! And this one had four total. It always just makes things more fun when you see the brothers fall one by one. I also love the family dynamics and love in this book. It always makes you want to be a part of it.

The whole “This is not real” “What are you scene” wasn’t as bad as some I have read lately. I just hate when that scene is dragged out. You know its real and that they will eventually accept it so why must we make it so incredibly long and ridiculous.

SPOILERS AHEAD

WARNING WARNING WARNING

Ok so I’m sure everyone hated her dad as much as I did. I was so happy that she stood up for herself. I don’t think that happens that often in books anymore. People are allowed to stand up to their parents. Even more so when that parent is absolutely horrible. I wasn’t sad to see him go, but I was pissed when she wouldn’t let the guys kill him and it caused so much harm and she ends up doing it herself. She caused all this pain for something that she ends up doing anyway. I know its part of her development or whatever, but why? Why would you do that? If a monster was about to kill my brother-in-law I wouldn’t stop the other brother-in-law from killing the monster no matter what. These guys had been her family more than her dad ever had and she stops them. Characters are so frustrating sometimes.

Overall really good and give it 4.5 out of 5.

The reason its not a 5 out of 5 is what she did to the main character which just bugged me.

Wonderful paranormal romance!

Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2013

Airicka Phoenix is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. She does a wonderful job with world building and charactor development. It's very easy to become immersed in her worlds. I would recommend this book to anyone over the age of 16. There's is quite a bit of adult content and violence.

I loved the world that was built, full of mystery and secrets. The villains are arrogant and fight dirty, while the heros fight to keep thier heads above water (no pun intended) only to realize that they are sinking deeper. It reminds me a bit of the world created in Casandra Claire's "Mortal Instruments" series. I also loved the vast diffences in personalities within Octavian's family, and dispite these difference they stick together no matter what happens. It makes for some comical situations as well as heart breaking ones.

I have a hard time with romances that start off with love at first sight. There is supposed to be some kind of magic link and therefore they are just automatically in love. I think too many authors use this scenario and miss the opportunity to have thier audience fall in love with the characters too. However, in this one instance it was ok for me. Riley is so confused through the whole thing, and Octavian is doing everything in his power to not admit the truth that you still get the relationship building between the two. What killed it for me was finding out the truth of who Octavian and his family really were. Although they are unique, I found it not only a bit cheesy at times, but a bit repulsive. Something about it just didn't set right for me, but I'm pretty sure that's a personal preference of paranormal characterization.

Overall I would recommend this book to anyone over the age of 16. It's a fun read and I found myself immersed quickly. I will be on the lookout for the second installation.

Fantastic read, I had to know the ending, so read in one sitting. Waiting on the edge of my seat for book 3

This book is great full of excitement , I loved it and would recommend to everyone.
But I fear that other commenters may be right about the author. At the end of the book it states book to will be released in. 2014 it's now 2017 so book one may be the only book sadly and she does have many book 1's.
I hope I'm wrong I really do because the book is amazingly good and a book 2 would be sold the second I seen it.

I have read previous works by the author. However, this book was very different in terms of subject matter and conent. It was a great price for such length. It kept my interest. I'm still deciding to purchase book 2 because there are unanswered questions. I would recommend it.

' "The last thing she heard being murmured huskily into her ear was, "I would like nothing better than to set every inch of you on fire and watch as you burn in my arms." '
- Octavian's Undoing by Airicka Phoenix

I think I'm gonna start out with Riley and what I have to say about her because Octavian… No, I wanted to focus on Riley first. I have to say that I love her as a heroine because she is strong and sweet, especially if you take her background into consideration… She has a hard time at home with a father that seems more a failure than a father and mother that just left her without ever looking back.

Her father is the worst kind of jerk I can imagine. Besides the twist about him later in the book, I hate how ignorant he is of his daughter. The mother? Well, I better not start on the mother now because it just makes me so mad!

I really am Happy that Riley found a true friend in Daphne and I hope to read more about her and the way the friendship with Riley develops.

The Maxwell-family is the kind of family everyone wants to have. I love the brothers Magnus, Reggie and Gideon… Reggie the most though. They are all crazy and sweet and adorable, but somehow Reggie just jump right to my side, making me wish he could be like my best friend or so. Because, let's face it, Octavian gets the boyfriend-spot. He's so definitely a very worthy book-boyfriend.

I love how Octavian is ready to sleep fully covered just so he could be by her side. But then again, everything about Octavian just totally made me fall for him. I mean, the way he talked about Riley, the way he treated her, the way he worried for her, the way he wanted to protect her from anything and anyone… Seriously, if Airicka Phoenix ever tries telling you that any other of her guys is hotter than Octavian… Don't believe her. IT'S NOT POSSIBLE. PERIOD.

"His eyes were dark and hungry with a desire that burned her to her toes."
- Octavian's Undoing by Airicka Phoenix

Forbidden love is a topic that has been well used so far and yet I personally think that Airicka put a great twist on the topic… I loved every bit of this book and I can't wait for the second book of The Sons Of Judgement - series.
