The Demon Lover: A Novel

An enjoyable read! There are some surprises, twists in the story. It involves a lot of various supernatural beings as the residents and colleagues of - the newly discovered witch and doorkeeper - Callie's new home town of Fairwick, and their college, where many of them work or attend. She quickly falls for a man who is slowly sucking the life out of her...literally, but he's a perfect fit for her!... and so the story begins....... now onto book 2

Nice fantasy book about fairies and witches and succubi edged toward scary but not quite there yet and I like the strong lead female caracter the omg Only reason I gave 4 stars is I did not like the ending I'm a happily ever after girl and wanted so bad for the lovers to end up together

I received this book from the publisher for an honest review. At the start of this book, I loved it, but I didn't plow through it like I sometimes do; it made the book last a little longer. However, by about halfway through, I was skipping my lunch so I could read it, using my before-work time to read it, and reading it instead of doing house work. I was hooked! There's so much going on in this book - a huge cast of characters, each with their own little... specialties. It wasn't hard to keep up, though. Dark did a great job of explaining the details so clearly that you know what Callie was talking about, looking at, and feeling throughout it all. There was a healthy dose of mystery, mystique, and excitement that made this book impossible to put down! Callie is a strong character, not a flimsy damsel in distress nor a totally independent "I don't need no man" kinda girl. She's reliant on herself, but allows others to assist her when needed. I appreciated her as a person. Liam was a passionate, emotional almost alpha male, but with his own demons and secrets. If I had to cite a con about this book, I would say that I sometimes got impatient with the detail. There was a lot of it
