This is the fifth book in the Anti-Princess Saga by Jennifer A Marsh. This book has elements of humor, romance and morbidity which stand out in Jennifer's style of writing. It has a strong, sarcastic leading lady who just really wants to find her place in either of her worlds. If you love Charlaine Harris, Patricia Briggs or Katie MacAlister this book is for you! Look for the final book in the Anti-Princess Saga coming September 2015. Happy endings don't exist in real life, or maybe they do but have a max quota and Quartessa was that next person in line that the "sold out" gate crashed down on. Either way, the events that always pop up to remind her that she is, and will forever be, screwed find new ways to steal her joy and replace it with misery even when things seem on the verge of working out in her favor. Bored out of her mind, and hardly able to get up from a sitting position any more, Quartessa prepares for the birth of her child as most women do, formulating a plan to kill its father and how to avoid the repercussions of the devil if her plan actually succeeds. Just your average nesting period. Unfortunately, Lucifer has other plans which pit love against love in an attempt to right his son's choices. And this time, she takes on her fiercest opponent yet with the hopes of making her life a little more bearable. And, with the prophesized birth coming fast, Quartessa is forced to make the hardest decision of her life. Quartessa has sacrificed a lot in the past, her happiness, her sanity, her life, her loves and her body, but nothing could prepare her for this one. For love creates so much bliss, but also torment. Quartessa is in too deep, and this time the price is far steeper than any other. But, as Quartessa has learned, the safety of others outweighs anything she may need to give up, including her life, not to death, but to something much more permanent. Quartessa learns the true meaning of sacrifice. The ultimate sacrifice is not death, it is life.
