Arc Review✨
Thank you to the author Nora Ash for sending me this digital ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Prince of Demons is a deliciously dark and seductive ride into a world where danger and desire go hand in hand. Nora Ash has crafted a story that’s equal parts high fantasy, emotional turmoil, and intense, unrelenting chemistry. This book delivers everything a dark romance promises—power struggles, forbidden desire, and a brooding, dangerous male who both terrifies and tempts.
The story centers on Georgia, a strong-willed heroine who finds herself forced into a dangerous bargain to save her brother’s life. Her deal with Kesh, a fearsome Demon Prince, plunges her into a world of dominance, submission, and temptation. Kesh isn’t your typical romantic lead—he’s commanding, cold, and ruthless—but there’s an undercurrent of vulnerability that makes his character impossible to look away from. Their relationship is built on tension—sexual, emotional, and personal—and it’s that slow, smoldering unraveling that drives the book’s pulse.
The heat in this story is intense, often toeing the line between power and passion. The dynamic between Georgia and Kesh is far from simple—it’s laced with defiance, control, resistance, and eventually, undeniable longing. Georgia’s refusal to break, even when the odds are against her, makes her a heroine worth rooting for. She doesn’t fall easily, and her strength makes every moment of surrender feel earned. It’s not a soft romance, but that’s what makes it so captivating.
Ash also does an excellent job of building a larger world beyond the bedroom. The backdrop of demon politics, ancient prophecies, and a looming war adds stakes and intrigue beyond just the central romance. There’s a feeling that more is at play than just the chemistry between the two leads—and that extra depth adds to the book’s appeal.
However, the story isn't without its flaws. Some plot points, particularly the emotional arc of Kesh, follow familiar tropes. While the execution is satisfying, there are moments that feel slightly predictable. Additionally, the darker themes—especially around domination and consent—may not be for everyone. The power dynamic is intense, and although Georgia fights for her agency throughout, some readers may find certain scenes emotionally challenging. Finally, the emotional development between characters could have been explored a little more deeply in places; at times, the steam overtakes the story, leaving less room for reflection.
Still, Prince of Demons is a wildly addictive read. It's bold, provocative, and impossible to put down. Nora Ash knows exactly how to write tension—both romantic and narrative—and she does so with a skillful, unapologetically steamy hand. If you're a fan of dark paranormal romance with high heat, strong heroines, and dangerously seductive anti-heroes, this one’s for you.
