WHISPERS COLLECTION NO 1: EROTIC SHORT STORIES is a collection of five short stories, all by the same author. They are all erotic fantasies but take place in different time periods, and I feel like they each strike different tones and showcase the versatility of Carolyn Jewel. The female main characters in each story are all very different types of women. Demon Lover & My Goblin Boyfriend were my favorite and I would have loved it if they would have been turned into full length stories. The two are very different but I enjoyed them both very much.
Demon Lover is set in New Orleans in the year 1859. I think it has a deliciously gothic feel to it. My Goblin Boyfriend is narrated in a very fun way, and there is a wonderful dark paranormal sexiness to it. I would love to read more stories set in that world. I was intrigued with the goblin in this story and was left wondering what his story was and who was hunting him.
The setup for the story Inigo the Magician is very Tales from the Crypt spooky for me. Later, it takes on the feel of one of the author's My Immortals series -- of which I am a fan. I think this story illustrates how this author can put an interesting and very different spin on submission and domination.
Constance is set in the distant past. For me, it has a very serious tone to it, and the ending is very conventional. The Wild has a very hard edge to it, almost what I'd describe as a feeling of sexual menace.
It's definitely not for everyone. Overall, I enjoyed the diversity of these stories, and hope the author might revisit one or two of them and turn them into full length novels.
