For a millennia-old monster like Baba, twenty-one years is a drop of water in the vast ocean of his existence. An existence that had gone on far longer than it had any right to. Baba is the last. His kind, dead by their own violent tendencies, or hunted by the church. Leaving only one survivor.
Without her, Baba sees no reason to endure any longer. He’s not the monster he once was. Now, just an ailing older gentleman, with a fondness for tulips and classic cars. He never expected an officer to knock on his door. Nor did he expect that officer to give him the name of a young woman he’d never met.
Baba certainly didn’t expect to recognize the scent of her terror as he saw her for the first time in twenty-one years. Sitting behind a security barrier, hoping beyond hope that Baba would pay her bail. He’s an old man now. The urges of youth long forgotten. The same could not be said for those who hunt her.
Baba let her go once. He will not do so again. And when she is taken by force. A long retired monster rears its head. An old dog can’t learn new tricks. So it’s time to do things the old way.
And Baba is so very hungry.
Fangs and Feelings is a series of standalone, non-traditional, monogamous romance novels. Characters range from human to the inhuman, with plenty of things that go bump in the night. This series contains strong adult themes.
Baba Yaga is apparently not an old lady, but a man, who is a cross between the Darkness from the old video game and the T-1000. It turns out not to be that relevant anyway, as most of the book is dedicated to him rolling around in tentacles form, slaughtering people unpleasantly. The plot doesn’t really make sense when it does pop up, but it’s so vague you can kind of read what you like into it. Bit of gubbins about old times and the church, that’ll do. If you don’t mind that, it’s a very fast-paced story with a lot of action, grovelling bad guys learning their lessons in pain, and of course bonking. I didn’t enjoy it one bit but that’s me.
This was doing an awesome job at the demon-to-redemption arc, right up to the last scene totally ruined any idea of sympathy for the devil the author had built up prior to that point.
Great book. Our MC is NOT a hero but still not a bad guy all things considered. Loved this book and pretty much love almost everything from this author.
