Summary: from Good Reads
There is a world of myth and magic that intersects ours, and only a special few can see it. Misao Harada is one such person, and she wants nothing to do with magical realms. She just wants to have a normal high school life and maybe get a boyfriend. But she is the bride of demon prophecy, and her blood grants incredible powers, her flesh immortality. Now the demon realm is fighting over the right to her hand...or her life!

Misao thinks she's come to terms with being the bride of prophecy and dating a tengu lord, but is she ready to bear her handsome demon an heir?! Kyo's grandfather is impatient to secure the power of the prophecy and the line of succession, and he doesn't care which of his grandsons fathers Misao's baby. If Kyo doesn't act fast, he'll lose Misao and the leadership of the clan. But despite his desire for Misao, Kyo is hesitant to consummate their relationship, for that will bring about catastrophe...

Feelings:
Misao wants to be closer to Kyo but is scared by what might happen if she has sex with him. They know that if it is only once it won't hurt her. Kyo knows that only one time will not be enough, so he shows Misao how hard it would be. This situation seems a little to teenager to me, but this is a story about a 16 year-old.

I think this series started with potential, and I still like the story. However, it is about teenagers and at times that can be a bit much for me. I'm going to keep reading the series.
