The best quality of this book was the new take on succubi
and incubbi and the imagery. This author has the ability
to make the reader truly experience a book. The reader
will be able to picture the love scenes, the high intensity
of the scenes is palpable, and there is even a little bit
of tactile sensations available for the reader.
Callie is the protagonist of this novel. She is thinking
about potentially accepting a teaching job when she happens
upon Honeysuckle House, a house previously owned by a
historical romance writer. She moves right in and settles
into the new job. However, things rarely go as planned and
the reader will enjoy this unpredictable book.
The characters have qualities that the reader will not be
able to guess about-there is always some twist or some
enigmatic background. The events are fast-paced and
exciting to read about. The ending will leave the reader
wanting more!
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.
