Possession

Blood Moon #0.5

by Mathilde Madden, Madelynne Ellis, Anne Tourney

Three short novels of the sexy paranormal from three top authors.

Broken Angel: After stealing a copy of an ancient manuscript, Blaze Makaresh finds himself being hunted down by a gang of "youkai"-- demons that infiltrate human society to satisfy their hunger for sex and flesh. When Talon, an elitist society of demon hunters, comes to his aid, he's soon enmeshed with the beautiful Asha, and the dawning of an age- old prophecy.

Falling Dance: Kelda has two jobs: full-time bartender, part-time exorcist. She meets vengeful spirits and misguided demons wherever she goes. She wishes the spirit world would leave her alone so she can have a relationship that lasts longer than twenty-four hours, but when she's contacted by a sexy musician who wants her to solve the mystery of his girlfriend's disappearance, she can't help but get involved.

The Silver Chains: Alfie Friday is a werewolf. For seven years he has controlled his curse carefully by locking himself up every full moon. But now he's starting to change even when the moon isn't full.

I only got this book for "Broken Angel." As I don't care much for werewolves or ghosts, I didn't even bother reading the other two novellas so I obviously can't review them.

Before starting Prophecy I wanted to know how Blaze and Asha met and how Blaze became the one marked as demon prince. Blaze has pretty much always been alone. Raised by his grandmother he knew nothing of his parents and when she died he decided to try to find out who he really is. He has little to go on and the day he steals a pamphlet is the day he finds out that he didn't really want to know. Fleeing from the demons he encounters two of the Talon (demon hunters). They save him but not before he's attacked by the demon captain and incapacitated. He wakes up at Asha's mercy and it's not long before she starts to realize what he really is. Turns out he's actually a demon and a pendant he has worn his whole life has been suppressing that side. He's in denial for a while about it, but when he sprout wings and starts to see things it gets kind of hard to ignore. Caught by the Talon, it's thanks to Asha that he gets free. But it's also her who binds his demon side inside. He should have been a lot more pissed about that I think... Cornered by the Talon leader and the demon captain, Blaze is being forced to choose a side. With Asha by his side though they manage to escape and the real troubles begin.

I would have liked to know how old these characters are. Especially Blaze. He's obviously an adult, but he just seems to be drowning in what he's been swept up in that he comes across so young sometimes. Asha on the other hand is always so composed and in control that she seems way more mature than Blaze is.

This seems like it will be a pretty good series...
