The Demon Lover by Juliet Dark

I gasped . . . or tried to. My mouth opened, but I couldn’t draw breath. . . . His lips, pearly wet, parted and he blew into my mouth. My lungs expanded beneath his weight. When I exhaled he sucked in my breath and his weight turned from cold marble into warm living flesh.

Since accepting a teaching position at remote Fairwick College in upstate New York, Callie McFay has experienced the same disturbingly erotic dream every night: A mist enters her bedroom, then takes the shape of a virile, seductive stranger who proceeds to ravish her in the most toe-curling, wholly satisfying ways possible. Perhaps these dreams are the result of writing her bestselling book, The Sex Lives of Demon Lovers. After all, Callie’s lifelong passion is the intersection of lurid fairy tales and Gothic literature—which is why she finds herself at Fairwick’s renowned folklore department, living in a once-stately Victorian house that, at first sight, seemed to call her name.

But Callie soon realizes that her dreams are alarmingly real. She has a demon lover—an incubus—and he will seduce her, pleasure her, and eventually suck the very life from her. Then Callie makes another startling discovery: He’s not the only mythical creature in Fairwick. As the tenured witches of the college and the resident fairies in the surrounding woods prepare to cast out the incubus, Callie must accomplish something infinitely more difficult—banishing this demon lover from her heart.





It took me a good time to actually get into the depths of this book. I thought that parts of the book in the beginning were good and parts of the book were kind of dry. I thought the beginning of the book was kinda here and there and didn't make a lot of sense.

After I got about halfway through, the book started to pick up with me. I really started to enjoy the story line. I like the small little town that she Dark creates. I definitely love the Victorian house that she moves into. I thought the title of the book was a little misleading. I can see where the idea came from, but the original title Incubus would have made more sense than The Demon Lover. I loved the book cover though. It's a very beautiful picture.

All in all I found it to be a good book, just a lot of things in the beginning of the story could have been left out. It took me a while to get into this book, which usually does not happen, but once I got to the halfway point, I couldn't put it down.

I was very disappointed in the ending. I was not happy to find that she didn't end up with Liam! Unless there is going to be a book that may continue on with this book, I am going to be very disappointed because I want Liam back and I think he was wronged, and I would like to hear more about how he became involved with Dolly.

Misfit by Jon Skovron

Jael has always felt like a freak. She’s never kissed a boy, she never knew her mom, and her dad’s always been superstrict—but that’s probably because her mom was a demon, which makes Jael half demon and most definitely not a normal sophomore girl. On her sixteenth birthday, a mysterious present unlocks her family’s dangerous history and Jael’s untapped potential. What was merely an embarrassing secret before becomes a terrifying reality. Jael must learn to master her demon side in order to take on a vindictive Duke of Hell while also dealing with a twisted priest, best-friend drama, and a spacey blond skater boy who may have hidden depths.




I really enjoyed this book. It took a couple of chapters to fully get into it, but it was good. Don't let the idea of preaching religion get in your head, the world that is created for these characters is a good one. The idea of where the demons come from is well created. I love when books make me think and I like it when a book is original and does not make me think of other books and this book does a great job of that. I hope there will be another book!!!



WARNING THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS!!!!DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THIS BOOK OR DO NOT WANT ANYTHING RUINED FOR YOU!

At first this book was a little hard to get into. It was a little slow at first and I thought it would have a lot to do with religion, which a lot of it does. Religion does not bother me, as I have read both Chronicles of Narnia and the His Dark Materials Series. I can easily not judge books based on this, but I can see how others may get caught up in this.

I thought the book had a lot of potential. I really enjoyed the book after a while. My favorite part was where we would get to go back in time and see Paul and Astarte's story. I do think it was cool how he blended Astarte as all of those people she once was. The fact that demons may have once been gods or other beings was an interesting concept. I like the world that Skovron built in order to see his creation of his stories. I like that there are deomons out there that may not want to be seen as a bad creature/being.

I absolutely loved Dagon. I am hoping there will be another story and him being involved with it. I am hoping that Jael can bring him back to his former self and to see what all he has done to come to how he is now. He may be viewed as a week person in Hell, but I find him to be very strong and to have great character. He knows that he has made mistakes in the past, and it seems as if he has learned from them. You can see the love he had for his sister and for the love he has of Jael.

I would love to see more of her father fighting the demons with Jael. So hopefully Skovron will write more stories of this series because I would love to see what these other Dukes and demons have in store for Jael.

Immortal Danger by Cynthia Eden

Immortal Danger by Cynthia Eden

Once, Maya Black was a kick-ass cop patrolling the streets of L.A. She still keeps the city safe, but nowadays her bad guys of choice include demons, werewolves, and assorted nocturnal scum. Something Maya knows a thing or two about. She's a vampire - and not thrilled about it. Payback meet bitch. Adam Brody hopes Maya is as dangerous as they say she is. He needs her to help rescue his niece Cammie from a ruthless band of vamps, and he's willing to pay - in blood. Trusting her is another matter. Adam has never met a vampire who doesn't lie. Then again, he's never met anyone like Maya, who fills him with a desperate need that ignites into explosive, no-holds-barred encounters.

I was very impressed with this book. I love books about shifters and I like how Eden infused her supernatural beings together relationship wise. The fact of what Adam Brody was and Maya being a vampire. I loved the romance aspect of things and that it was not to heavy and grotesque. She handles this book very well. I definitely loved this book.

Since coming to Crossroads, Oklahoma, former outcast Aden Stone has been living the good life. Never mind that one of his best friends is a werewolf, his girlfriend is a vampire princess who hungers for his blood, and he's supposed to be crowned Vampire King—while still a human! Well, kind of.

Never mind that one of his best friends is a werewolf, his girlfriend is a vampire princess who hungers for his blood, and he's supposed to be crowned Vampire King—while still a human! Well, kind of.

With four—oops, three now—human souls living inside his head, Aden has always been "different" himself. These souls can time-travel, raise the dead, possess another mind and, his least favorite these days, tell the future.

The forecast for Aden? A knife through the heart.

Because a war is brewing between the creatures of the dark, and Aden is somehow at the center of it all. But he isn't about to lie down and accept his destiny without a fight. Not when his new friends have his back, not when Victoria has risked her own future to be with him, and not when he has a reason to live for the first time in his life….


I loved this book. I love the world that Gena Showalter makes. It is different from what I have read before and I love the take on where the vampires and werewolves come from. I also love the world that she creates with each of the supernatural beings. It doesn't make me think of other book similarities while I'm reading which is very good, because as much as I love other books sometimes they remind me of others. All in all a very good read and I can't wait for twisted!

Intertwined by Gena Showalter

Most sixteen-year-olds have friends.

Aden Stone has four human souls living inside him:

One can time travel.

One can raise the dead.

One can possess another human.

One can tell the future.

Everyone thinks he's crazy, which is why he's spent his entire life shuffled between mental institutions and juvie. All of that is about to change, however. For months Aden has been having visions of a beautiful girl—a girl who carries centuries-old secrets. A girl who will either save him or destroy him.

Together they'll enter a dark world of intrigue and danger…but not everyone will come out alive.

Wolfsbane (Nighshade #2) by Andrea Cremer

Wolfbane by Andrea Cremer

When Calla Tor wakes up in the lair of the Searchers, her sworn enemies, she’s certain her days are numbered. But then the Searchers make her an offer—one that gives her the chance to destroy her former masters and save the pack—and the man—she left behind. Is Ren worth the price of her freedom? And will Shay stand by her side no matter what? Now in control of her own destiny, Calla must decide which battles are worth fighting and how many trials true love can endure and still survive


This book was very good. A lot more intense happenings than Nightshade was. There was a lot of commentary through the back stories of the Keepers and the Searcher's but it helped to get a better understanding about why they came to be. I have to say I absolutely loved this book as much as I did Nightshade. I was a little sad to see not much of my favorite character was in there and when they were...(not going to give away the story). I definitely recommend this book to other readers. I am in love with wolves and I love how they are portrayed in this storyline. It is an intense battle with Calla and herself over things that have happened. I definitely cannot wait for Bloodrose!
