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.
