Book Review: The Demon Lover
The Demon Lover - Juliet Dark,Carol Goodman

Book: The Demon Lover

 

Author: Juliet Dark

 

Genre: Fiction/Supernatural/Women/School Life

 

Summary (from back of Ballantine Books edition): 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 her having written the bestselling book The Sex Lives of Demon Lovers. Callie’s lifelong passion is the intersection of lurid fairy tales and Gothic literature - which is why she’s found 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: Her incubus is not the only mythical creature in Fairwick. As the tenured witches of the college and resident fairies in the surrounding woods prepare to cast out the demon, Callie must accomplish something infinitely more difficult - banishing this supernatural lover from her heart. - Ballantine Books, 2011.

The Demon Lover - Juliet Dark,Carol Goodman

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 my breath in 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 her having written the bestselling book The Sex Lives of Demon Loversstately 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: Her incubus is 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 demon, Callie must accomplish something infinitely more difficult—banishing this supernatural lover from her heart.

 

 

I felt the first part was stronger than the second. It embodied the gothic romance spirit perfectly.And I almost felt like Dahlia Lamottes book "The Dark stranger" would have been a lot of fun to read. Maybe even more interesting than this one.

 

The second part only felt like it plodded along.

 

Callie was remarkably slow to figure out who was visiting her in the night. Yet she accepts the claims of her colleagues and neighbours being of the supernatural world

You would have thought with the kind of research she had done for her book she would have gotten a clue a long time before.

 

I started reading this book expecting another [bookcover:A Discovery of Witches|8667848] both feature main characters who writes thesis and have degrees.

But I actually liked the main character of TDL more than the one in ADoW.Even for the less perfect things in her.

 

Didnt really see the point of the character of her boyfriend Paul.He could have been written out entirely for all the impact he had on the plot. It was like he was only there for Callie to feel bad about her betraying his trust in her by being intimate with the incubus.

 

All in all this book was a decent read. But it didnt leave me with a lasting impression. More like meh..well it wasnt horrible

 

...but it could have been something pretty good if the author had kept up the great start of it. And since  Juliet Dark is a pseudonym for Carol Goodman I know she can write better.

The Demon Lover - Juliet Dark,Carol Goodman Surprisingly good story, a unique blend of the gothic romances of old, complete with eerie house and all, with the fantasy element of fairies, demons, witches and whatnot in the paranormal universe. There was the right amount of suspense, a mystery waiting to be solved and the lead characters own personal conflicts that seamlessly blended into the plot. Definitely an engaging storyline. There was however a lot of issues popping up in the middle that you get the feeling you're already reading the second book in the series. Callie, the lead character is definitely well developed, fully fleshed out and likable. Overall, this book is worth the time to read it.

Victoria's Demon Lover
Victoria's Demon Lover - Alia Bess

My review contains spoilers and they're mostly my thoughts as I went with the book...

All I know about Alia Bess from amazon is that she writes Historical Fiction under another name. But let me tell you very honestly, I think she should consider publishing MORE erotic paranormal stories because I simply loved Victoria's Demon Lover! I had NO idea what to expect when I went into it. The reviews had some certain warnings that didn’t sound good. I was intrigued nonetheless. And when I started reading, I could hardly put it down. This story does have a demon, an incubus haunting the heroine, Victoria with some seriously hot smexing. That much is pretty straightforward from the blurb but the entire plot goes much deep and complex than your average raunchy demon erotica.
