My Sleep Paralysis Demon: a paranormal demon standalone romance

by Rune Hunt

“Do whatever you want to me, sleep demon. Please… just let me sleep…” Seren muttered, tiredly. Her chocolate eyes closed and her breathing became heavy. She fell asleep within seconds.

I sat silently, outlining her gorgeous body in the moonlight. Each curve made me ache to have her in my hands. Every night, I watched her sleep. Her breath would hitch, but her body was paralyzed. I just stared at her curves as she watched me, fear dancing in the air.

For the first time, she spoke to me.

I’m her Sleep Paralysis Demon. I have been for a year and tonight was finally the night her lips said those words. “Do whatever you want to me, Demon.”

With pleasure, my sweet Seren.

My Sleep Paralysis Demon is a fifteen thousand-word novella, between a bakery owner and her sleep paralysis demon. This book is a standalone and doesn’t need to be read first.

Unfortunately not for me. Cute concept, but the writing wasn’t great and it could have used another few rounds of edits. There was also no trigger warnings with clear non-con.

“I looked forward, seeing the cute ice cream place coming into view. It was small and pink but very cute.”

2,5 No se que acabo de leer. El demonio de la parálisis del sueño REM no apareció nunca en mis teóricos de neurociencias 🤔

Corto y cochinote

[Anita · Rating 4 out of 5]

Es una historia muy corta, pero no se siente apresurada en absoluto. Está bien construido y las escenas picantes están muy bien hechas, así que si buscas algo rápido con un monstruo, este libro cumple de sobra 🤣.

I picked this up thinking, “Oh, this will be spooky-cute.”

Reader… it was spooky-hot. 🖤

This novella wastes ZERO time. We’ve got Seren, a bakery owner (soft girl energy 🍰), and her sleep paralysis demon who’s been watching her for a year like the world’s most unhinged night-shift protector. The moment she finally says “Do whatever you want to me, demon”? Yeah. I knew I was done for.

This book is short, sharp, and dangerously effective. Rune Hunt said, “Here’s 15k words. You’re welcome.” And honestly? I blacked out and came back reborn.

The demon?
Shadowy. Possessive. Patient.
Shadow daddy SIGN. ME. UP.
The tension is immaculate—lots of staring, hovering, watching-her-breathe energy that had me kicking my feet like this was totally normal behavior. It’s eerie, intimate, and somehow cozy in a “being haunted but make it horny” kind of way.

Is it silly that I now side-eye my sleep paralysis? Yes.
Do I regret it? Absolutely not.


If you like:

Sleep paralysis demon romance
“I’ve been watching you” vibes
Short, spicy monster novellas
Shadow daddies who wait patiently
…this is for you.



Would let a demon ruin my sleep schedule again.

3/5

Super short and plenty spicy, I liked this read. Seren our fmc owns a bakery and it has been a year since she moved in a new house, but she's having a hard time falling asleep because of the sleep paralysis monster that's been haunting her for a while, fed up with not been able to rest and in a lot of frustration she tells rhe monster to do anything he wants with her and monster takes that as a consent and that when there nightly fun activities starts .
Fmc is experienced, nothing was mentioned about the paralysis monster and it ends in hfn

[Cassidy James Taylor · Rating 5 out of 5]

My Sleep Paralysis Demon is unhinged, unholy, and absurdly hot. Seren is exhausted and over it, so when she begs the monster in her room to do whatever he wants—just so she can sleep—he’s more than happy to oblige.

Equal parts sweet and spicy, this book delivers the perfect mix of smut, tension, and morally questionable monsters. If you love a little darkness with your romance, My Sleep Paralysis Demon is a must-read.

★★★☆☆ 3.5/5 Stars 𝜗𝜚 ࣪˖ ִ𐙚

Cute and very quick read. I liked how it was very fast paced and you got to enjoy the cute dynamic between them. Steamy as well ;)

Could’ve been a little bit more in depth with the characters, getting to know them a bit slower and on a deeper level. But a fun easy read for the vibes and steam!

Can never go wrong with a demon x pink girly 🖤🩷

⭐️⭐️⭐️ | 🌶️🌶️🌶️

A cozy monster romance that’s equal parts sweet and steamy. The vibes are warm and comforting, with just enough spice to keep things fun without being overwhelming. It’s a very quick read, perfect if you’re in the mood for something light, low-angst, and easy to finish in one sitting.

Overall, a cute palate-cleanser romance with soft moments, gentle heat, and cozy monster charm.

Kage and Seren

I'm going to be completely honest, the cover is what drew me in. It's so cute. I loved it.
The story was good and steamy. It's completely fast paced and we get to know a little bit about Seren's sleep paralysis monster. It was cute. I liked it.

[Crowley Bloom · Rating 3 out of 5]

Es un libro corto, con solo 7 capítulos, que se lee en un día fácilmente. No hay mucha trama, pero cumple su función: es perfecto para cuando no quieres pensar demasiado y solo quieres sumergirte en algo que te gusta. Ideal si te interesan los temas de terror ligero y experiencias sobrenaturales.

Entretenido, siento que leí de cierta forma al demonio en donde no me parecía sexy/malo, sino gracioso y eso lo hizo mas bueno al libro, era como que no lo podía ver como un "chico malo". Es bueno para pasar el rato.

Rápido, corto y va directo al punto que es el sexo con un demonio que esta demasiado obsesionado con la protagonista. Bastante entretenido

[Ash · Rating 4 out of 5]

Short and sweet, only about an hour or 2 read. Would definitely read a full length book so the interactions and tension could be drawn out more, but enjoyed the novella nonetheless.
