Selene departs from Canada to study in the United Kingdom. She goes about with her daily duties until one time when she traverses Dublin, Ireland. There, she encounters Anna Jane, who then invites her to a masquerade ball. Selene faces an unusual world— one with vampires, demons, lamiae, and others.

Selene then comes across a handsome, powerful demon, Lord Ios, who takes an interest in her. Ios knows Selene is not entirely human, and her special kind is prone to be hunted by the most ferocious creatures. Not long, Lilith, one cruel demon, begins to pursue her. Ios has to protect Selene by all means. In the venture, Ios and Selene are drawn to each other. However, demons do not possess love and attachment feelings like humans. How will things progress?

I loved how easy the dialogues were to follow. They’re well-phrased, and a reader can easily identify the mood of the character. Also, I liked how the author showcases diversity in the story. Selene was originally from Greece before relocating to Canada and finally the United Kingdom for studies.

I chuckled at how Lena Kelly brings out the Irish accent different from the English intonation. When some Irish characters conversed, I could play the twang in my head. I enjoyed how the conclusion of the book calls for a hunt into its sequel. I desperately want to find out what happened next.

However, I did not admire some of Selene’s reckless behaviors. She trusted people too much. For example, she ends up with a guy in Dublin and sleeps over at his mum’s place. Though she knew less about Anna Jane, Selene trusted her to the extent of following her to a masquerade ball. In there, she was approached by a vampire who may have proved sinister had the Lord of Misrule not shown up on time.

The kindle format had some mild spacing issues occasionally. Other than that, I only detected a few grammatical errors and typos. Therefore, the book appears to be professionally edited. Lena has composed a spellbinding story that lovers of the underworld will relish. The book deserves nothing less than four out of four stars. The intense suspense in the story had me glued to the pages wanting to discover what would happen to Selene with her naivety. Do you want to be transported to a world where humans coexist with demons, witches, vampires, immortals, lamiae, among others? If so, I recommend you Revelation by Lena Kelly.

This looks very interesting. It's also one of my favourite genres so I'll definitely give it a try. Thanks for the review!

Reading this review got me curious about some of the characters in this book, most especially Selene, I guess she has a innocent and sweet personality to be drawed to a demon Lord.
