Sin, Secrets, and Summoning: A Demon Novella

With death looming at my door, a demon finds me alone in the woods and brings out my most forbidden desires. Is it a sin to enjoy something so sadistic? And if I accept his help, what will he ask for in return?

4.5⭐️
This was a quick and spicy hot read.
Sera never expected to cross paths w/a demon when she went into those woods. Let alone be cared for in more ways than one by said demon.
Nox was the sweetest, but also protective demon for his "kitten"
These two were just 🔥🥵
I could definitely read more about them.


Thank you Siberia for the arc. 🫶🏻

What a ride! This novella was short but oh so spicy. Accidentally summoning a demon while being chased by a far worse evil is insane. Snarking said demon until he makes you submit is thrilling! This was such a good spooky but spicy read. I only wish there was more and some resolution but, knowing Siberia’s writing , I know we will get it someday!

Can’t recommend this enough if you’re looking for a spooky novella to devour for Halloween!

For a short story, there is so much heat and lust in these pages. I was not disappointed and definitely recommend!

[littlesmuttyone · Rating 4 out of 5]

This short story was truly good nox made me melt his protection over Sera and her stubbornness towards him at first was cute and funny .I love how he didn't try tame her he wanted her fire .my favorite part was the whole collar and ears & tail she wore.

I want a nox to be desired,loved,and cared for the way he did Sera was so good.

The way he took care of her the way she missed and ached for him . I can't resist a demon story I loved it

[tattooedbooknerdgirl35 (Amanda Lynn) · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have to say this short demon dark romance is completely amazing. It still has an amazing storyline but the spice is spot on between the two characters. Siberia can really tell a story.

Sera is a lawyer who is running from a mob boss that wants her dead. She runs through the woods and sees a tree her parents carved their names into. She summons a demon & doesn’t realize it.

Nox who is a demon appears & tells her he’s there to help her. They have a lot of physical chemistry, so he messes with her a little. He wants to help her & beings her to his place..

Definitely a must read if you need a short Demon dark romance it’ll hit the spot.

[Rachel Combs · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a short, more than titillating, story of Sera and Nox. Sera has a problem and Nox seems to have the perfect solution for the both of them, it’s a win win. There’s one thing, Nox is a demon. Will Sera make a deal with a demon?

I admit this was the first book I’ve read with spice like this. This spice with hella spicy for what I’m used to but that didn’t stop me from finishing it within an hour. Bravo Siberia 👏🏼

I don’t know what else to say without giving too much away so go read it if you like what you’ve read so far 😉

Tropes:
🐱 Paranormal Romance
🐱 Contract With a Demon
🐱 K!nK 🌶️

Fav quotes :

“No, mea venus, I want you wild. I want you dangerous.”

She doesn’t know it, but I’m already committed to travel to the ends of Hell and Earth for her if I have to. To protect her. To make this last. To keep her for eternity.

Sin, Secrets, and Summoning by Siberia Johnson is a Demon Short Story and perfect for the October season.

This is a pure spice driven story so please read the trigger warning before starting the book. If you don't like smut or smut driven stories, please don't read this book. If you are here for the smut 🌶🌶🌶🌶. What are you waiting for!!!

As this is a short story, it was a very quick read. The story is just under 60 pages. The book follows Sera as she accidentally summons a demon, Nox, while hiding. Will she keep running from danger or will she turn to the demon. We get both Sera and Nox's POV. The chemistry between Sera and Nox is perfect and the smut is chefs kiss.

The tropes are Paranormal short story, Contact with a Demon, Alone in the woods, Independent FMC, Enemies to lovers and k!nk.

Thanks so much to Siberia Johnston for sending me this arc for an honest review

I don’t know what you put in this book but give me about infinity more!!! 🤭 This novella was so good and captivating right from the start. BD$M, dom/sub, human FMC, demon MMC; it was everything that I didn’t know I needed. This was definitely a book that I felt like I was there, watching, but wanting to be her. The writing and flow of the book was on point and kept the momentum. Loved the details and how vivid it the characters and scenery was. What’s next? Will there be a next? Thank you Siberia Johnson!

Holy hot short story! Sera and Nox were steamy, and this story was the perfect pace!! I really enjoyed the writing style and the characters. I appreciated how Nox was so caring for Sera.

Whewwwww 🥵 This was spicy, short novella. Perfect for the spooky season!! When you’re on the run from hitmen & summoning a demon goes oh so right, what could possibly go wrong 😈 Other than now you’re in the middle of the woods w/ a collar.

[Rachael Huffman · Rating 5 out of 5]

Short but hot

I hope the story continues somewhere. What a terrible tease! Plot is mostly just there to support the smut, but no complaints about that here.

[Emily · Rating 2 out of 5]

I liked the premise but not the overall execution.

[Emily · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a good little short story. It's so spicy, it makes you wish there was so much more to read. Would you become a demons play thing? Perfect for spooky season. Accidentally summoning a demon, what could go wrong

[Jennifer Ervine · Rating 4 out of 5]

A demon with a tail and steamy bedroom scenes…you really can’t go wrong. It may be a short story, but Nox and Sera give us all the spice! I didn’t want it to end!

[Jenn (myspookybookishlife) · Rating 4 out of 5]

Such a spicy little demon short story. Loved Nox and Sera both were great together! The pet play in this was perfect.

[Jess Stroud · Rating 2 out of 5]

I felt the book just stopped. No wrap up, no mention of the plot after the smut started. My rating would have been higher had there been a better ending. Hopefully, they will get a continuation in another book.

1.5⭐️
the plot was weirdly half-baked, even for a short story. if the author wanted to write it just for sex scenes, she could’ve left the whole contract aside. the beginning and ending felt like two different stories

[Gem · Rating 5 out of 5]

57 pages of: an accidental summoning, a mutually beneficial agreement, purple, piercing, kitty & her Master, tail play, companionship and spice +++

This was a fun read! Very short, sweet & spicy as it follows Lawyer Sera who inadvertently summons a demon. Nox is more than willing to assist her in what she needs while also caring for her “other” needs. It was intriguing to see how they warmed up to one other with Sera’s submission to him (but he completely melts for her, and is totally obsessed!) plus you can’t knock a bit of demon smex!

This novella delivers a fast-paced, spicy escape that will hook you from the start. When Sera accidentally summons the demon Nox, the chemistry between them is immediate, setting the stage for a thrilling and steamy dynamic.

Nox isn’t just interested in her physically—he respects her fiery nature, her strength, and her sass, supporting her unconditionally in her quest to take down her enemy. Their connection is electric, and they push boundaries in ways that feel exciting.

The novella is filled with witty banter and sizzling moments that bring their personalities to life.
“I can play with much more than your soul,”. This is where normal people would tap out.
But not Sera. She’s every bit his match, and together they make an unforgettable pair.

If you're looking for a quick, fiery read with undeniable chemistry and a protective, possessive demon, this is the book for you.

Thanks to Siberia for the gifted eARC

Sin, Secrets, and Summoning by Siberia Johnson is the perfect October read—a spicy demon short story! 🌶️✨

This quick 60-page tale follows Sera, who accidentally summons the demon Nox while hiding from danger. Their chemistry is electric, and the dual POVs bring both characters to life. With tropes like paranormal romance, enemies-to-lovers, and a touch of kink, it’s a thrilling ride.

Nox is the sweetest, most protective demon for his "kitten," and I loved Sera’s initial stubbornness. The collar, ears, and tail she wears add a fun twist! Their dynamic is simply 🔥🥵, and I found myself wanting more of their story. If you’re into spicy demon tales, this one is a must-read!

[Lawwen · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was my first read from Siberia Johnson and I was impressed. It gave more plot than I expected and actual dom/sub (not just hinting). Also the story is SHORT but takes place over a year. The characters were dedicated not only to each other but also the cause.

Because I enjoyed it more than I expected I give this a solid 4⭐️.

Demon summoning, dash of mafia, BDSM, brat/pet play, instalove? Slight kidnapping…

Personal Preference: I’m not a tail or leash use girly, but if that’s you you’ll enjoy this ;)
. Could the story have been better if longer, maybe? But I appreciate what it is as a novella.

[Roxana Dellamorte · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is spicy through and through. It's a quick read, perfect for the Halloween season. The author managed to maintain a consistently high spice level throughout.

Tropes:

Paranormal erotic short novel
protective Demon
Pet play

[Trinity · Rating 2 out of 5]

The plot wasn’t explored at all and that turned my brain from loving it to hating it. If you bring in any form of plot it should be explored or just left out. The writing was great but it was a disappointing novella.

[Kayla P · Rating 2 out of 5]

This started out so good and just went nowhere. The ending was so abrupt, there was a plot in the beginning then it just disappeared. The writing itself is good but the plot needs so much work. The spice wasn’t even that great either. And why does the demon purr???

[Kris Wells · Rating 4 out of 5]

The only thing I would change is to make it longer. I know it's a short story but I need MORE!

[Fritz Sands · Rating 4 out of 5]

Straightforward demon smut that turns romantic. Short, hot, quite enjoyable. Not much else to say.

And, yeah, love the cat ears and tail.

[Amber · Rating 4 out of 5]

Short spicy and fills with lust …. And the nickname “kitten”

[K Huskić · Rating 4 out of 5]

A short, steamy read!

Summoning a demon wasn't at all what Sera planned to do, but maybe it was exactly what she'd needed. Nox was possessive, but determined to keep Sera safe.

This was a fun story. A little plot, plenty of spice. What's not to like? I enjoyed it!

📖Book Review📖

Sins, Secrets and Summoning

I read Alpha Affinity before this and really enjoyed it, I’m very happy to say that I enjoyed this one too.

It was super super spicy and short, a good palette cleanser between larger reads.

I loved the writing style and how the story just flowed, I didn’t want to stop reading and just wanted more 😂

The only thing that put me off a little bit was the cat ears and tail. I just didn’t know how to feel about it, other than that it was great.

Nox and Sera were perfect for eachother, I really recommend you read this book.
