almost did not finish this one
Why did I read this? And am I glad I did?
I came across this set of novellas during the Paranormal Romance Spotlight month at Ex Libris. The post was about how the cover came about and between that the brief summary I thought the book sounded good. It was almost a DNF for me. I barely skimmed through the last novella and honestly am not sure why I wasted the time doing that. Neither of the stories were romantic or sexy.
The first novella wasn’t terrible, but it was a little confusing (at least for me). I think it was too much for a novella. If it was fleshed out and the mythology and characters were given a chance to grow, I could see it being a really interesting story. However, it was rushed to the point where I didn’t care about the story or anyone in it.
The second novella was just creepy in my opinion. Reading about someone stalking someone just didn’t do it for me.
Brief Summary
A novella of two stories—”The Devilin Fey” and “Tongue-Tied.”
The Devilin Fey (story #1): A demure young woman unleashes the “devil in” her, through the intimacy with an incubus—her incubus.
Tongue-Tied (story #2): A voyeuristic succubus with jealousy and a fixation is dangerous, as you’ll find out in this great little story.

Disagree? I’d love to link to your review!
Tara, I completely agree with you. I had to read The Devilin Fey for review and it wasn’t for me either. I pushed on and finished it since I had to review it, but I agree with what you said.
Great honest review! Sometimes books just don’t appeal to us.
never heard of this one…Thanks for your review. I agree, some book aren’t for everyone
@ Stella (Ex Libris) : I’m really glad to hear I wasn’t the only one that felt that way.
@ Felicia : Very true. Sometimes I feel like the negative reviews are more important than the good ones. I just hate writing them :/
@ Faye (Ramblings of a Teenage Bookworm) : The first one was OK so I’d probably still consider something by the author, but I wouldn’t recommend these :/
