“Look at what you do to me, Elowen. No one holds a candle to you. Even in this hellish place, you bring me to heights I’ve never known.” ____
A glistening bead of sweat trails between the gloriously sculpted plains of his chest as he gifts me a crooked grin.
“You are the embodiment of perfection, Elowen.”
A grin curls my lips as my gaze holds his and my hands wrap around him.
“Such a good boy.” ____
The Summoning(sum-mon-ning) A pivotal life event experienced by all daemon males or dominants when they and their soulbound come of age. This Summoning urges them—mind, body, and spirit—to unite. Intense side effects may include, but are not limited heightened emotions, uncontrollable arousal, dizziness, dream walking, an increase in fluids, and an insatiable thirst and hunger for their soulbound in a variety of intimate ways that cannot be listed here (please reference the book). Some effects may be painful.
Sariel Born in Hell, I have waited millennia for my soulbound. Now, after crossing realms to find her, the only things standing in my way are a mad doctor, a dungeon cell, and magic-suppressing shackles. Anyone who enters my cell puts their life in my merciless hands.
That is until Elowen—a delicate human female—is assigned to my care. I would know even by scent alone that she belongs to me. The moment I break free of these manacles, I will rightfully claim her as mine.
Elowen I’ve dreamed of Sariel for three years. I know him as intimately as I know myself. So when Dr. Forsythe assigns me to care for the daemon, I’m not afraid of the massive, horned, and winged male—I’m exhilarated. Because I know, without a doubt, he is mine.

Fated Mates and me just work, especially when he crosses worlds to get to her. The prisoner trope was a interesting aspect. The story stayed interesting as well through multiple unsolved mysteries of which we do not get an answer for all of them in this book. The end felt somewhat rushed and I would've liked a more time with the couple, but overall a fun read!
KU Read 209 Pages Paranormal Romantasy Fated Mates Demon x Human Realm Travelling Kinks
This is a monster smut Romance but has a plot that has twists, danger and ends on a cliffhanger that leaves you wanting the next book asap. In fact I need it... I feel robbed that I can't immediately dive into book 2 after where it was left. I will be impatiently waiting for the next one with baited breath. The fantasy aspect and world build is new to me and unique, which has me intrigued. I like the non-traditional names and the mixing of paranormal creatures that don't fit the stereotypical boxes you would put them in.
✨✨✨ My Blood Is Yours by Chiara Forestieri (@authorchiaraforestieri), is her first book in her new The Summoning series. ✨✨✨
Dedication: To anyone who fantasizes about (*ahem* masturbates to) the person of their dreams, despite wondering if they even exist. Don’t worry, they do. Even if they’re a little different than what you expected, I can promise they’re even better than anything you’ve ever imagined. The key to finding them (or them finding you) is often just a matter of first falling in love with [and treating yourself] the way you dream of them doing so with you. Easier said than done, I know, but if it’s any consolation, I love you.
Tropes: 🩸 Spice & Dark meets Cozy & Sweet Gothic Romantasy 🩸 Fated mates 🩸 All the feels, Plot & Spice 🩸 Touch her/him and ☠️ 🩸 Cinnamon Roll only for her 🩸 Traverses the Realms to find her 🩸 Fast Burn 🩸 Bondage 🩸 MMC in Shakles 🩸 Breeding Kink 🩸 FMC tasked with his care 🩸 Captured by a mad Scientist
I must confess that I was immediately captivated by the cover of this story. I’m a sucker for big, bad boys who look like hunks, just like Sariel. I adore Chiara’s newsletters, so I was especially curious about this story.
We are introduced to Elowen, who works for a shady scientist researching different species in an effort to improve human health. Her life has been far from great since the loss of her mother, and her only refuge lies in the daemon who appears in her dreams.
Sariel, on the other hand, is grieving the tragic loss of his brother and is searching for him everywhere. When he feels the signs of the summoning—the irresistible pull to find his soulbound—he crosses realms to locate her, even risking imprisonment. The moment he lays eyes on the one destined to care for him, he knows she is his soulbound, and he is determined to do whatever it takes to free them both from the clutches of the mad scientist.
I loved the characters and thoroughly enjoyed all the spice, even if it felt a bit over the top at times… but honestly, who can resist the completion of a mating bond? And let’s be real—I’m not complaining, especially when a tail is involved. ;) As for the plot, it wasn’t as deep as I initially expected. However, given that this is a novella, I understand that there are limitations to complexity. I’m definitely looking forward to reading more about Elowen and Sariel’s journey!
Quotes: “Such a good fucking girl, aren’t you? My sweet mate. So eager for me to mark you as mine. For me to drink from your veins, and you from mine, as I feed you my cock, my knot, and fill you with my cum.”
My breath is stolen as his tail slides over my slick folds, tracing my clit before breaching my entrance.
This felt like a full book even though it was technically a novella. Our MMC is a 7.5 tall Daemon who fulls the tug of his soul bond in another world, and he unfortunately loses his brother to a different world in the process. His soul bond happens to be a female human with a tragic backstory. He jumps worlds to find her only to be captured by her seemingly human employer and lover, who we hate. We have some captor/captive dynamics, LOTs of spice and instant attraction/love, and a plot to escape.

Chiara Forestieri was on my 2025 Villians & Vixens TBR and I’m glad I was able to check this one off my list!
i’ve read smut fanfiction, of a fandom i know nothing about, with more character depth than this. that’s literally crazy. besides a novel this short shouldn’t take me almost a MONTH to read. book, bye 👋
While I did enjoy aspects of this book it tended to lose me. The beginning was interesting and I waited to see how it unfolded but then the explanation was just info dumped.
By the end I just kept saying get on with it already. It wasn’t able to keep me focused (even with the tail action👀) it saddens me that the 🪢 was so underwhelming too.
It didn’t feel like there was enough depth to the plot, world, characters or their connection too. At one point it felt like they were switching to a whole new couple when it went to evandriels pov. Focus pulled way too much from our couple.
I wasnt gonna read book 2 but I have to admit that ending peaked my interest I can’t lie 😭
HOT DELICIOUS GOODNESS 🥵🥵 the MMC is an absolute dream!! The plot is so fun. And the story includes a variety of creatures. Checks off so many of my boxes!
As a promise HEA, We get the ending we want, but the way she left it open for more 👀
The author took great care to include a content/trigger warning page. Please be mindful of that before you dive in blindly!
I cannot believe I started reading this. All the TWs and nowhere did it mention the uncomfortably awkward sex between the DR and our fmc that she seems to instigate, want and beg him for. That shit was embarrassing to read and I can’t look past it or convince myself that this is a fmc id like to read about.
Also, nowhere does it explain why she begs and pleads for her employer to fuck her when he clearly hates doing it and doesn’t even like her!? Why?
(3.5) damn that was hot! Elowen has dreamt of a Daemon for years and she has now crossed paths with him but in a dungeon cell. Sariel is taken and chained up to be experimented on by the mad Dr. Foresyth, and Elowen is tasked to clean and care for him. They immediately feel an attraction to each other, escape, go back to Sariels home land and it is pound townnn! But that ending… her mom… def interested in the next book!
4.5 ⭐️ I came across a friends ARC review of this, and with it being such a short book and fancying a little spice in my life I gave it a go. The downside to this book is that it was not long enough 😭 man it was sooo good. Thing is with spicy books, it can be all style no substance. Very wham bam thank you mam, with just rough stuff for the sake of it, accompanied by terrible writing, however this was written so well. The spice was tastefully written, it had you hooked and invested, and it was never overkill or crass. I honestly loved it and the authors writing is superb. I’m so invested in this world I can’t wait for the next book!
My blood is yours is an amazing monster romance, it is a fast paced spicy story about soul mates, Sariel, who's a demon prince is on a search for his soulbound, who is in another realm, earth, after chasms open up in his realm, loosing his brother he uses his familys heirloom in order to reach her. But he is captured and held as a prisoner for an evil man, a mad scientist who is the fmcs master, who wants to test him. They admit that they're there for each other, and she cares for him. There are many tropes such as - forced proximity - bondage - fast burn - cinnamon roll for only her Etc But there are also triggers; - captivity - violence and gore - mental health - dom/sub dynamics And more.
Elowen and Sariel are stuck trapped by the evil man, and they imagine getting out of there whilst engaging in much sexual activity 🤣 the spice is great! It's about Elowen finding herself finally after years of being used by the man holding sariel there.
'Look at what you do to me Elowen, no one holds a candle to you. Even in the depth of this hellish place, you bring me to heights I've never known'
I love this authors writing style, but I felt like there was a lot of world building crammed into a short book. It was a lot to process and the main relationship felt a little superficial. That said, she is an indie author and I’m excited to see her growth in the future :)
Immediately adding Sariel to my ever-growing list of book boyfriends. This daemon is definitely fits the “cinnamon roll only for her, touch her and d*e” trope that I and so many readers LOVE, and I ATE HIM UP. I loved that Elowen is a strong character in her own right, and I’m an absolute sucker for the soul mate trope. The side characters were all written so well - there’s so much to rave about in this book!
This was such quick, sexy, fun and engaging read! I need more and can’t wait to see what happens next! I’m so excited for the summoning to read the next book(s)! COUNT. ME. IN.
4.5 stars-♡♡ ARC REVIEW ♡♡- Firstly, I love the dedication. It made me feel warm and fuzzy <3 then, let's add the fact that the FMC is 30. (All the Heart eyes here. We love an older leading lady.) She gives the old group like myself some hope that maybe there is still time to be swept off our feet by a handsome, winged, dreamy male ;) The descriptions in this book are immaculate, painting me a beautiful picture of the story in my head, and I had to actually force myself to put the book down to sleep. I wanted to give a heads up too, as the author warned in the trigger warnings, this book has a loooooooooooot of c^m play. Like copious amounts. Like a really good chunk of the book. This isn't something that bothers me, but it did get a bit repetitive by the end. Make sure you're going into it fully aware of all that fluid That said, put on your rain boots and jump right in ;) it's a fun monster love story to scratch that spicy itch!
For such a short read, this was perfect. The graphics that the author has on IG are the best. I LOVE the way our MMC looks 😍 I've never read this kind of smut, and I love it from that picture. Just look at the quotes below to see if you're down:
"Fuck, sweetheart, look at you. You suck my cock like a it's sole source of sustenance"
My Blood is Yours is a charming tale of fated mates wrapped in a spicy as hell package!! Such a fun, quick read, and these characters are so lovable. Seriously, the most heartwarming smutty story I’ve ever read. Please check your triggers before you dive into this. It is not for everyone! If you make it past the triggers and you enjoy:
🩸 Fated mates 🩸 monster romance 🩸 Cinnamon roll MMC 🩸 One horse (2 saddles) 👀🤣 🩸 spicy, spicy scenes
Give My Blood Is Yours a shot!!
Thank you so much @chiaraforestieri for allowing me to read you adorably filthy book!
My Blood is Yours was an immediate ARC request for me after seeing THAT image of our handsome daemon Sariel all over my Instagram feed, and so my hopes were high.
MAAM you have surpassed them. I couldn’t hide my Cheshire Cat smile on the train journey home reading the banter, the romance and the SPICE MY GOD. Cocktails with Magda and Elowen would heal me. Sariel, and even Evandriel, are husband goals. I devoured this saucy little book where all the males worship their women (as they should!!) and I recommend you do the same.
Fast paced, spicy, intense forced proximity, and so entertaining! Sariel, a demon prince is on a quest to find his soulbound, but when he uses his family's relic to portal to earth he ends up being captured and held prisoner. Elowen has dreamed about a demon for months, and now she's face to face with him locked in a cell and forced to care for him and retrieve DNA samples for her master. Their chemistry is instant and undeniable, he only wants to please his mate, she cares for him and makes him beg, and their forced proximity only brings their bond closer.
It's a layered plot of fated mates, dom/sub dynamics, sexual exploration, and trying to escape their prison. There is also mystery, drama, banter, lots of lust and portal travel. One to read if you love spicy monster romances. Can't wait for more of this series.
😈 "Darling, whatever I have to give- my heart, my body, my soul, my blood. It is all yours"
😈 "Impressive? Yes. Massive? Yes. Aesthetically appealing? Absolutely. Mouthwatering? Without a fucking doubt"
😈 "Darling, even my dreams didn't do you justice, and if it's not you, I don't want it"
😈 "My sweet mate. So eager for me to mark you as mine"
After reading the summary, I had an idea of what would happen. Sometimes, it's awesome to get something different than what you were expecting. However, that was not the case this time, lol. I was looking for something specific and didn't find it in this book. It wasn’t bad; I enjoyed the romance, yearning, and overall plot. However, it was strange: the beginning made sense and had good progression while revealing more about the characters. But after the halfway point, it went off-topic. This happens sometimes when authors have other books planned for the series that feature different characters. It's as if I were being sold the next book, but it just didn’t make sense within the plot. It threw me off.
Every book I read by Chiara has me wanting her to double the book sizes, because what do you MEAN I only got 200 pages of this??
Since it *is* only 200 pages, it is super fast paced and there’s obviously some insta-love (I mean, how do we get to the spice otherwise?), but there’s also more depth to both the plot and the characters than I expected! Because again, 200 pages isn’t a lot to work with, especially when you add in a few *fun* scenes.
I’m definitely invested in the story though and can’t wait to continue the series!
I ATE THIS UP! 😭 I’m not even ashamed to admit it.
It’s definitely cringey and the writing style is mediocre at best but here I am scouring the internet for the sequel 😭 There hasn’t even been an announcement yet and it ends of a cliffhanger so read at your own peril.
I should add that this is pure smut 😂 if you’re looking for a plot, you won’t find much of one here. Maybe in the second book but I’m still not sure what it’s supposed to be.
I loved the communication in this. No one keeping secrets, no trickery, just good old-fashioned, educated soulbound shenanigans. We were slip sliding all over the place with how many fluids were flowing 🫢, and Chiara somehow slipped in a whole sideplot that I'm now just as heavily invested in.
I buddy read this, and wow, would I ever do again. Saddle up, we're going hunting for soul mates.
Fast paced, super spicy book about soul mates. If you are looking for a quick and fun read to entertain you and spice to your life then this is it! It had enough plot to keep you interested and ready for the next book, and even the side characters are interesting. I'm excited to see where book two goes because that cliffhanger was a big one!
