Great beginning, what's coming next ending?

Has a very positive beginning, except for the fact that it has to be kept a secret.  Lies are never good things to keep even when there in someone's best interests, they always come back to haunt you.
I liked Riley, Kristen's roommate very supportive.  We get a look at Marty Kristen's ex.
Find it can be enjoyable to skype, hmmmmmmmmmmm.  Wonderful to be whisked away on a private jet, to an island in the Caribbean luscious.

It started out strong, good storyline, good progression.  Didn't realize it was part of a series until I was over halfway through the book.  It was a good book, but the ending seemed kind of abrupt to me, like they tied up all the loose ends in just a few sentences, left me wanting a little more closure, but maybe that's there in the 3rd book?  Not sure.

A great start, bit of a sluggish middle, and a fantastic finish making you yearn for more!

This story is fantastic. It builds well across the first two books with great characger building and fast paces action, however the last installment is a bit of a let down not because of the ending, but because it wraps up so quickly, all too conveniently, and without a showdown worthy of the imaginiatve story that precedes this final novel.

Read the series for yourself, as it is worth a read, perhaps you'll feel differently about the final installment.

A great beginning to a nice story.  I tend to skim the first chapter or two of a new book b/c it tends to drag on and on, but this beginning was wonderful.  A tiny bit too much sex, for my liking, but I liked the way the author kind of kept it clean, but did not like the ending as the ending was too abrupt so as to make you need to get the rest of the series.  I usually do end up getting the rest of series after I have read the first book, but I may not get this one.  I prefer to have a story end nicely for the characters so I look forward to what happens next, but not with this.  I don't want the ending of such a nice love story to end badly.  It's a love story and should end lovely.  That's why I read them.

Hope there are many more books to come of this story what happens  next? Do not leave us hanging or I should buried.

I'm interested to see where this story is going. Paul Preuss's take on wrapping a continuing story around some of Arthur C. Clarke's short stories is an interesting concept. Paul's contribution is pretty good, but the ending to this one at least lacked consistency from the pacing of the rest of the story. It's almost as if the ending was sped up to save time or meet a word count.  Right now, that doesn't detract from the rest of the story because it's a series. I'm going to stick with it to see if he gets better. I really want to know what happened to Sparta and Blake, so when it comes to creating a compelling cast, he's done well.

Well the end is near.  Where will it take the heroes of earth and what will happen to earth in the end.  Keep reading to find out!

Amazing book but the ending?? Is there going to be a 4th book? How do I find this information? I was pretty upset when this one just abruptly ended the way it did.

I really enjoyed this book - it was full of mystery and also suspense. I enjoyed the dynamic between the Gabe and Angel, they clearly truly cared for each other even after all the years of separation. I was so glad that they worked it out - however I was disappointed with the ending. It was kind of like climax and then done. No real resolution or epilogues to see them happy together or anything. I see that this is will be book 1 but I don't know if it will continue their story or if it will be about different characters in the same universe. I hope either way we see them later truly happy and settled!

I'm rounding up around half a star.

A short novel (if that's the appropriate classification) that I thoroughly enjoyed. The narrator's very existence, as well as personality, involves a mix of good worldbuilding and good characterization.

Many questions remain unanswered. What is the origin of each SecUnit and of SecUnits in general? Was there any controversy attendant on their creation? I don't know whether future books, if any, will answer these questions. But I'll be looking for those future books in any event.

I thought it was excellent until the non ending. Too many questions left unanswered.is that supposed to make me read the next book?

So far so good love this series- but I'm almost half way through and nothing really seems to be wrapping up so I'm worried its going to leave me unsatisfied in the end. Isn't this the last book or is there another coming?

Ok, I absolutely LOVE this series. Riordan has grown a ton as a writer, and it's pretty clearly shown.
However, I'm so angry about the ending. It sort of just cut off, and there were no real closure. That would be fine, if it weren't the end of the series, or if there was another sequel announced (the book announced at the end is an entirely new series with a different set of mythologies)
I still love it, and will continue to agonize over it, and will probably read the next series too, It's just a little frustrating.

Daemon starts off with a bang! It had me hooked and turning pages late into the night. Most unfortunately the end of the book does not deliver. The last third gets silly and the conclusion is well hardly a conclusion at all with almost every thread of the plot line left untied.  A very unsatisfying ending for such a promising beginning.  Revised 05/23/14  I have since read the 2nd half of the story, "Freedom" and upped by rating to 4 stars! In retrospect, I love this story and both books are great but neither is a complete story unto itself which is why I give it only 4 stars and not 5. I have read several of his newer books now and while okay these two are the best and will hopefully be made into a movie or TV series one day. Enjoy!

The only reason I couldn't give this a 5 star review is the beginning of the book.  The story starts in another world, and then drops that storyline, not to be picked up until much later in the book.  There are so many fantasy names and places in the start, the author appears to be trying to impress us with the world he has created.  It's so confusing I almost stopped reading.  Thankfully I continued, as the book really picks up steam and turns into a really good fantasy novel.  For the first time in a while, I really cared about the main character and what happens to him.
This is the start of a series, and I will be reading the rest.
