When you absolutely have to know…
Grayson Muir is a know-it-all. No, seriously…he really does know it all. The strength of his abilities has him rumored to be the most powerful Oracle in the world. Gray couldn’t care less. All his life, Gray has played by his own rules. Whether through his own private clients or his work with the police, his only goal has been to use his gift to help as many people and paras as he can. With abilities like Gray’s, he doesn’t have time for any distractions.
Unfortunately, that is exactly what he gets when Andreo Demos, a six-hundred-year-old Lust Demon, pays him an unexpected visit. Dreo has been sent by the Demon Council with an appeal for assistance. The Lord of the Underworld has been murdered, the Demon kingdom has been thrown into chaos and Gray’s help is needed to identify the murderer.
Gray has his doubts. Demons don’t have the best reputations, after all. Still, despite his reservations, there is something about Dreo that calls to him. Whether it’s his dark good looks or the startling knowledge that Dreo believes they are destined mates, Gray can’t help but agree to offer his assistance.
Unfortunately, their road to happiness isn’t destined to be an easy one. Between court intrigue, their own unexpected mating and a murderer still on the loose, they are definitely going to have their work cut out for them. What are the chances, they’ll get their happy ending? Ask the Oracle.

"He was willing to risk a lot to keep the innocents of the world safe, even his own soul, if it came right down to it."
The description for 'Ask the Oracle', book one in JJ Black's 'Revelations' series, intrigued me. I thought the idea of an all knowing Oracle, who can see past, present, and even multiple outcomes for the future, was a fascinating one, and since the author wrapped it into a very hot package named Gray, well, a girl's got to enjoy that. Of course, throw a lust demon, a murder in Hell, and smoking hot sex into the mix and I was looking forward to the read.
Gray is an Oracle, of which there are only about six in the United States. He is by far the most powerful of them. However, it wasn't until he was eighteen and his mentor found him that Gray learned what he was. He thought he was going crazy all those years in the orphanage. Now, Gray owns Revelations, and along with employees who are more like family, he does his best to help as many people as he can, including the police in their attempts to save the innocent.
Dreo is a lust demon, and the demon council sent him to Revelations to obtain Gray's services. It would appear someone murdered Lucifer, and they need Gray to figure out who it was, and help them decide on the successor. Dreo is holding back the information that Gray is his intended mate, but the lust (ha!) between them is off the charts. However, they need to get to the bottom of everything happening in Hell before they can truly explore their mating.
Oh the complicated political machinations were exactly what I expected when dealing with Demons and Hell. Although in my opinion, some of the twists and turns were not always believable, but I ran with it in hopes of getting a good ending. I liked Gray and Dreo very much, as they were fun characters and insanely hot. If you like stories about demons, psychics, oracles, the underworld, and mystery, suspense, and thrills, then this might be for you.
