It was a typical night for the powerful and mistrusted half-breed, Lord Malachi. He was working on his daily list of those who needed to be manipulated, seduced, coerced and in extreme cases, eliminated when he suddenly realizes he must reevaluate his long and lurid past with his best friend and shadow, Lord Aleksander. They made many mistakes throughout the years, and he believes he can rectify some of the more egregious crimes. He wants to right the wrongs because the sordid secrets they share have exacted a steep toll; a toll he is no longer willing to pay. In his typical approach to all business matters, the half-breed decides to gamble with their lives one more time. If he succeeds, he’ll be able to save the dark-elf from himself; if he fails, they shall lose more than their lives.

This 4th book in the House of Dede series provides essential background information to show who Lords Malachi and Alexander have been up until the point they meet Beth, whose very old soul they are intimately connected to, and why they so desperately need her. Having this book in Lord Malachi's voice provides not only their history, but a window into the complex and often scary mind of (Alex)Sasha who is Malachi's brother, soul sharer, and ultimate future or perhaps lack of one. The boy's shared experiences revealed to the reader enhances and explains their reactions to and treatment of Beth in the first three books.I disagree with the previous reviewer's comments about redundancy. It's much more edifying to know Malachi and Sasha's background; the reading experience is enriched and the character's motivations, desires, and desperation of the past that is revealed makes a more compelling story in the present. In real life, we live simultaneously in our minds in the past and present, and are always contemplating the future so going back to hear the whole story adds to relevancy and enjoyment of the series.
Fans of the House of Dede series will be pleased to spend time with the boys and delve into their wicked, wanton past as well as find out in the present what happened to Beth since Sasha watched her life ebb away yet again. I always enjoy having a point of view from another major character in a series. I very much like Lord Malachi, so I was glad see the story through his bi-colored eyes.

4.5 Stars
Readers of Sharon Mamolo's House of DeDe series may have wondered "how did it all begin?" Wonder no more, in Lord Malachi background is given and all questions are answered.
Lord Aleksander, known as the Dark Elf to most didn't come by his nickname by chance, he lives his life with hedonistic delight and complete disregard as to what others think. Malachi, Alek's brother/shadow knows him as Sasha, the brother he loves and who shares the other half of his soul. Both are obligated to the demon Sigmund who holds their souls and refuses to give them back until he thinks they have earned it. Mix in a curse from a dying witch, a court full of intrigue, a search for the woman who will save one of them and set it in the steamy, lusty city of New Orleans and you have an epic tale of deceit, hate, betrayal, lust and love.
Ms. Mamolo has hypnotized us with her series from the first book, now she gives us a little break by telling us how it all began. Starting with a prologue in 2005 before the boys faithful meeting with Bethany and seguing into 1795 New Orleans Lord Malachi gives us the back story of the boys' lives and how the curse came about and takes us right up the point the last book ended. Told by Malachi we watch him through the years as he manipulates everyone to do things his way, all along trying to keep Sasha from self-destructing.
All of the books in this series are a little dark, this one is by far the darkest, showing us that Sasha earned his title of Dark Elf; we get into his head and end up going right up to the edge with him. He is beautiful to look at and lethal to cross, he doesn't hesitate to use whoever he needs to in order to get what he wants. Malachi is just as lethal and just as beautiful but uses a mix of self-restraint and intelligence to achieve his goals. Together they are a force to be reckoned with, they can speak to each other telepathically and feel each other's pain and emotions. They truly are each other's soul mate; they live for each other and no one else. That is until Bethany came into their lives.
We know from the other books in the series that Bethany is the reincarnation of a cursed witch from their past. This book shows us how the curse came about and we meet her many other incarnations. While she does make short appearances this is very much Malachi and Sasha's story so even though we meet her previous incarnations, we don't spend a lot of time with any of them. Sigmund also makes appearances throughout the story, giving us more background as to why the boys are so subservient to him and what kind of hold he has on them. I have to admit, he has always been one of my favorite characters in this series, I'm not really sure why.
I have been a fan of this series from the very first book, each time I've finished a book I immediately start asking when the next is coming out. My only little niggle with this one is I'm not a fan of the pre-quell, but given the complicated world Ms. Mamolo has built I can almost understand why she chose to wait as I'm not sure it would have made sense at the beginning. Other than that little issue, I loved this book, it was dark and gritty and full of lust and violence and sex and intrigue and sex and humor and sex. The first books in the series should definitely be read first or one might get lost, but it such a good series you won't regret it.

I almost don't know what to say about my disappointment with this book. House of Dede really sucked me in, despite the fact that it wasn't my cup of tea. I was anxiously awaiting <Lord Malachi>. Anxiously. And then... this. The story goes back to the first time Sasha and Malachi meet Beth's soul (in the 1700s) and continues through their subsequent meetings in her lifetimes. It's told in 1st person by Malachi, and continues until the 2nd book in the series, out there about (I honestly am not sure). Then it switches to Beth's 1st person. And if you recall, Beth is missing after her non-death, but she's on her way to a convention mentioned at the end of < Blood for Barter>.
While a little background is great, and a little more is a bonus, this book was absolutely redundant. Giving Malachi a 1st person voice was confusing and giving us that sliver of Bethany's present was criminal.
Although I loved the first three books in this series, this one was a disappointment. The third book ended in something of a cliffhanger--which is fine with me. It gave me a reason to be anxiously awaiting the next book. However, Lord Malachi doesn't really advance the story at all. Yes, it gives another point of view--but basically it's just a rehash of the first three books--with enough missing that if I had not already read the first three books, I would have been lost. Lots of holes in the story, lots of questions still unanswered. I certainly hope the next book in the series tells us a little more--reading this one was mostly just a waste of time.
This series of books was so unusual, but so riviting! I loved the fantasy of witches, elves, demons, and humans rolled into a love story that is very complicated! Can't wait for the next book!!
I have read all 4 books in this series and hopefully there will be more soon. This one was well written, but a little "choppy" compared to the other 3, but it's a great read. I certainly look forward to more stories from this author on these fascinating characters and what may happen next! Love it!!
