Let The Devil In
Everyone hated Aunt Laura.
When she died, I drew the short straw and got stuck handling her crumbling Victorian in the Appalachian Mountains ... hours before Christmas.
What should have been a quick, simple job becomes a fight for my life. Even when I find the house through the worst storm in history, I'm not alone.
They're here. Men I once trusted. Once wanted. They're the same, but different. Their eyes gleam in the dark. Their memories of our past are wrong. And they keep telling me about the creature they call Father. They tell me what he wants … what they want, and it’s more than just my soul.
And then there’s him.
The thing that comes when I close my eyes. Horns and claws. Shadows that swallow me whole. He calls me his queen. His lap is my throne. My submission, his prize. He's pleasure I shouldn’t crave. Pain I can’t resist. He promises me the world ... if I let him in.
I don’t know if he’s real.
I don’t know if any of this is.
I only know the snow keeps falling ... and the night refuses to end.
And Father is coming...

Now let’s get one thing straight:
This book is mostly smut. High-quality, no-brakes, monstrous smut with a real plot behind it. So don’t blame the author or slap a salty review on it because you didn’t bother reading the warning before the first chapter. That’s on you. Don’t be a Cuntasaurus Rex throwing a tantrum because the book did exactly what it promised and holy shitballs, this book was dark, twisted, and deliciously filthy in all the best ways. I devoured it. The world-building? Fantastic. The plot? Unhinged in the most addictive way. And the spice? Hot. Hot. HOT. I’m talking melt-your-brain, rearrange-your-soul levels of heat.
The minute our girl steps into her dead aunt’s creepy Victorian in the Appalachians, the story grabs her (and us) by the throat and purrs. The tension is thick enough to chew, the men from her past show up looking like nightmares wrapped in nostalgia, and every single one of them screams “bad decision” in the most delicious way.
The blend of horror, lust, and “am I losing my mind?” is executed so well. And him? The creature in the shadows? Terrifying and intoxicating, the kind of red flag that waves itself. Every time he appears, my Kindle gets hotter like it’s trying to warn me. The dynamic between darkness, desire, and danger is pure perfection.
This book is a snowstorm of suspense, spice, and supernatural obsession, and I loved every minute of being trapped inside it. If you’re into monster romance, gothic horror vibes, corrupted desire, and a plot that spirals delightfully out of control this one’s for you.

It’s rare I’m lost for words, but I'm questioning my entire devotion to dark, paranormal, monster loving romance. This was next level. How have I not read this sooner.
Dark. Chilling. Erotically depraved. Absolutely feral.
LOVED. IT.
I don’t know where to go from here.
MF, MFM, MFMM, MMMMF… I lost track.
If why choose, tentacles, extreme size difference, breed kink, knotting, paranormal/demons and antlers are your thing, this one will ruin you in the best possible way.

The author comes right out and warns you that this book is mostly smut with a little bit of plot. So if that is in the trigger warnings, and it bothers you then don't read it.
If you like your tales twisted, then this might also be the book for you. This erotic paranormal smut is a devilish delight. This is the second book I've read from this author, the 1st being blackmailed by the incubus, this is a bit tamer then that one, not as taboo.
Rina must take care of her aunt's estate before the holidays since her cousin volunteered her. She has to contend with gods and demons and all types of unholy creatures, each one wanting to consume her.
Temptation comes in many forms but which manner of demonic force will be her undoing. Her survival depends on her ability to figure out a nagging question. Does she let them in?
I thoroughly enjoyed this devious story, the world building was interesting. The smut was smutting 😉, no shame in all the heat there. The author didn't lie in her warning. If you want more plot, then this might not be the story, if you want monsters smashing then pick this up. I wish this author wrote more monster/supernatural stories.
I was given an advanced copy for an honest review.

Holy moly! This was an incredible read from start to finish. Monster romance already had my heart, but THIS… This made me fall in love with it all over again. The SPICE was off the charts, and the plot was strong. 1000% recommend.

He calls her his queen. He says this is home. All she has to do is let him in...
When Rina’s sent to handle her aunt’s estate in the middle of a snowstorm, she expects dust and dread, not a house that breathes, a past she can't remember, and three men who feel like both strangers and something more. Kellen, Roan, and Lukan are familiar but changed. Their memories of her don’t match her own, and they speak of someone else entirely. A god they call Father, who’s been waiting for her to return.
As snow traps her in and reality blurs, Rina slips into dark, seductive dreams that start to feel too real. Vaelith comes to her from the shadows, massive, otherworldly, aching with devotion. He calls her his mate, his queen, the one who once saved him. Their connection is intense, overwhelming, and impossible to ignore.
But remembering comes at a cost. Rina’s life is not what it seemed, and the truth asks for more than belief. It asks for surrender. A kingdom waits in the dark. A throne stands empty. And the ones who love her would destroy anything to bring her home.
Rina starts out guarded and reluctant, just trying to survive the storm. But as the pieces fall into place, she begins to claim the power she once had. Vaelith shifts from a haunting presence to something heartbreakingly loyal. Kellen, Roan, and Lukan reveal layers of loyalty, hunger, and connection that run far deeper than blood. What starts as confusion becomes trust. What begins as desire becomes a bond forged through memory, healing, and choice.
A dark, ultra-steamy, reverse harem paranormal romance with haunted house tension, mythic obsession, and monstrous fated mates, exploring identity, memory, power, death, intimacy, transformation, and the pull of something older than fate. It’s about rediscovering yourself through love, loss, and surrender, and being chosen by the ones who never stopped waiting.
The Elevator Pitch: A snowbound house hides more than memories when a forgotten queen awakens to desire, danger, and devotion from beings not entirely human. Passion turns primal as a god and his Shades fight to reclaim the mate they lost to time. It's dark, steamy, seductive, and laced with power, where love isn't safe, but it's everything.

After driving through a snowstorm in the Appalachian Mountains to catalogue her late aunt’s estate, Rina is surprised by the appearance of her three hot-as-sin step cousins she hasn’t seen in years. Their unannounced visit during a raging snow storm, combined with possible lost time and years of intense sexual dreams with a faceless entity, Rina begins to question not only her sanity but if those run of the mill book girlie monster smut fuelled reveries are something much, much more.
Airicka took me from a creepy Victorian at the foot of the Appalachian Mountains to an amazing world that read like a fantastically beautiful utopia. You just have to look out for the nightmare fuel skittering, creepy crawlers. And once Rina steps into this other world, she finds Vaelith, an enormous demiurge with an enormous…
kingdom. From there, the story goes from what did I just read 😳 to what did I just read 🥵🔥🤤
Oh! Where did the hot-as-sin step cousins go, you ask? Well, I’m not going to tell you. You’ll just have to take the ride and see is Rina will escape this new world or will she stay and let the devil in?
The spice level on this one was a definite five 🌶️ and the amazing world building and creature creations took me deeper into the brilliant mind of one of my favourite authors. I received an advance readers copy and this is my honest review. I definitely recommend you read this book.
“I will never tire of you. I will never want another soul the way I ache and yearn for you. You are my heart. The very thing keeping me alive. I will keep you until the very end of my existence.” Vaelith

Author Airicka Phoenix has a dark, twisted, obscene, imaginative, beautiful mind.
With ‘Let the Devil In’, the intention was to write a purely smutty read. She succeeded. Massively. This book is off the Scoville charts H. O. T. 🥵 I am talking this girl’s favorite triple D’s: dirty, dirty, dirty.
There IS a pretty big plot surprise … or a few—This is not a mindless plot-free smutty read.
It does have teeth.
Still, mainly smut.
Yep.
Lots
and
lots
of
smut.

Well fuck. I am obsessed with this book. Everything about it was insanely good, the characters, the twist, the motherfucking spice 😍😍 ugh it was just amazing.
If you have no triggers I 100% recommend going into this blind because the experience is so freaking good!
It’s why choose with MM (maybe more Ms in that 😂).
Thank you to Airicka for the ARC.

Hours before Christmas, Rina is forced to deal with her despised Aunt Laura’s decaying Victorian house in the Appalachian Mountains, but what should be a quick task spirals into a nightmare she can’t escape. Trapped by a brutal storm, she finds herself surrounded by men she once trusted who now seem twisted, wrong, and devoted to a creature they call Father. And every time Rina closes her eyes, something with horns, claws, and a voice that claims her as his queen waits in the dark as the snow keeps falling and the night refuses to end.
This book is pure şmüt. Do not get it twisted and expect anything more than that. But is there a tiny sprinkle of plot? Sure. Are there plot holes? Oh, absolutely. But who cares when you have four ridiculously sexy monsters completely obsessed with the FMC and catering to her every desire?
I absolutely devoured this Christmas monster story. If you’re looking for something extra steamy with plenty of knotting, breeding, and way too much 💦, this novella delivers it all and then some. It’s chaotic, over-the-top, and exactly what you want when you just need to escape into pure, unapologetic heat. Honestly, I couldn’t put it down, and I loved every absurdly delicious second of it.

Thank you to Airicka Phoenix and Book Sirens for allowing me to read this ARC in exchange for my honest review.
First and foremost I picked this book as I wanted something a little out of my comfort zone. This is not my usual genre but the synopsis left me curious so I had to dive in. In finishing the book, I will honestly say that it wasn’t quite for me BUT this has more to do with my taste and nothing else. The story is magical, interesting and there is quite a twist that I didn’t see coming at all. I am glad I took the leap and whilst it wasn’t fully to my taste it was for sure an absolute jaw dropper!
The imagery is bold, strange and undeniably imaginative. While the intensity of the scenarios wasn’t quite to my taste, I can appreciate the author’s creativity and willingness to explore unconventional themes. Fans of dark, experimental fantasy will undeniably love this read!!
It is taboo, dark, twisty and will set fire to your imagination!

This was a weird one... 🤔
The first half reads like an erotic horror with the haunted house in the middle of a snowstorm but then the second half is a weird fantasy world.
I must admit the plot, at first, was very interesting and had me hooked, but as the story progressed I lost interest because there were just so many sex scenes and I got bored. To me, that's a sign of weak storytelling when entire chapters are dedicated to sex- gimme a break 😩.
Faes are brought up and I thought they would have more prominence in the plot because the world is insanely rich and interesting.
It just boils down to the fmc fucking the mmc and his 3 offshoots which he considers his kids... so he's fucking himself?... *le sigh 😮💨 just forget it.

Rina must have a vagina made of steel because the amount of sex in this book is insane. I've read plenty of freaky poly books but this is one for the books. Girlfriend's privates never got a break. Besides that, this was an enjoyable, extremely erotic dark paranormal holiday poly book. The twist was definitely a surprise and something I didn't see coming. The only issues I had were the grammatical errors and I didn't think Rina was smart. She was dumb actually. She didn't ask the necessary questions when she should've and some of her actions were downright stupid. Overall, the story was enjoyable.

This book was a seven course meal of smut. And I ate EVERY course. This book was hot af, spice that makes ghost peppers look like their candy canes. This book was smutting all the way to the new year. I hopped on this ride so fast, I forgot to buckle up.
If you like your books dirty, and your men hot as sin, then climb aboard because you DO NOT want to miss this ride. And trust me, you could ride this, and those men and never get tired
Absosmuttinglously badass book.

This book was so good! And it's unique from anything else I've ever read. Rina is the main character who inherits a falling down Victorian house from her late aunt. She gets more than she bargained for when she realizes she is not alone. There are supernatural monsters in the dark. This story was spell binding, exciting, suspenseful and very spicy. I loved it.

⭐ 4/5 🌶️ 5/5
Okay I’ve never read monster smut before and I’m pretty sure I accidentally picked the kinkiest, spiciest one I could start with? This author has one hell of a wild imagination. I mean…I suppose it has a plot…but I’ll tell you something this book does have? Filth. Lots of it. Someone needs to say a prayer for my soul after that because i found it hot 🥵

Wow 🔥🔥🔥
This was my first ever monster romance. I am a huge fan of Airicka Phoenix and have read everything she writes.... This was no exception. It was a new genre for me but I didn't hate it! I was obsessed with how deeply her men loved her. The spice was 🥵🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

I really enjoyed the beginning of this book. The world the author set was so intriguing and I couldn’t wait to dive more into it. Unfortunately, more time we spent on super graphic smexy times and not on the amazing world.

I actually loved the world building lol I wish the author would have made it longer and built on the plot.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. This book was a pure smut and I loved it! The details of said smut was perfect. Loved the monster aspect. Multiple monsters was a plus. Filling multiple areas with very larger than life monster body parts . Looking for an easy smut to read. This is the book.

A gripping start, but so much orgy that I couldn’t keep track of what was going on. It doesn’t help that their names change partway through.
The smut is smutting. MMMMF, and all of the guys are related. If you love breeding kink and impossible, painful stretching, this may be a book for you.

Everyone hated Aunt Laura.
When she died, Rina drew the short straw and got stuck handling her crumbling Victorian in the Appalachian Mountains ... hours before Christmas.
What should have been a quick, simple job becomes a fight for her life. Even when she finds the house through the worst storm in history, she’s not alone.
They're here. Kellen, Kukan, and Roan men she once trusted. Once wanted. They're the same, but different. Their eyes gleam in the dark. Their memories of their past are wrong. And they keep telling Rina about the creature they call Father. They tell her what he wants … what they want, and it’s more than just her soul.
And then there’s him.
The thing that comes when she closes her eyes. Horns and claws. Shadows that swallow her whole. He calls her his queen. His lap is her throne. Her submission, his prize. He's pleasure she shouldn’t crave. Pain she can’t resist. He promises her the world ... if she lets him in.
She doesn’t know if he’s real.
She doesn’t know if any of this is.
She only knows the snow keeps falling ... and the night refuses to end.
And Father is coming...

Let the Devil In by Airicka Phoenix.
Before I say anything, I am going to start by saying that this is a book that is primarily smut, sure I’ll say it’s first rate, monster smut with the plot playing secondary to it. So, be warned and be prepared and the author does warn you. So don’t cry in a review about not being prepared for all the smut this book contains. This book gives us everything that the author promised and it is glorious.
Now onwards, man oh man did Airicka ever deliver on her promise. This book was stunning, dark, twisted, and it was so lusciously filthy in only the best ways you could want. Once I started this book I was just drawn in and enthralled with Rina and Kellen, Kukan, and Roan and wow, even father got me hot under the collar. And the plot that we did get? It was only maniacal in the most addictive and compelling ways possible.
From the moment Rina steps into her now deceased aunt’s creepy Victorian home deep in the Appalachians, the tension grabs Rina (and us) and just purrs. Then Kellen, Kukan, and Roan arrive and Rina is shocked and surprised by their arrival and can’t understand how they knew she was there. But then looking at them, rather than questioning why they are there, all she can hear is “bad decision” in only the most mouthwatering ways.
I just loved Airicka’s blend of horror, lust, and question of “am I losing my ever-loving mind?” and she does it perfectly. And him? That creature who lives in shadows? He is terrifying and intoxicating and all the best kind of red flags that you want in your books. And I loved every time he showed up on my page. He was the perfect blend of darkness, desire, and danger.
Airicka did a phenomenal job of writing this blizzard of suspense, spice, and the best of supernatural obsession. And I can’t be sorry for a single moment that I spent jailed in this insanity.
If you’re the kind of reader who loves monster romance, gothic horror, corrupted desire, and a plot that spirals perfectly out of control, then this is the perfect book for you.

Whaaaat did I just read? This book was like 2 separate stories crammed into one. The world building where Rina was running to or from was fine then it went to a place that reminded me of an unhinged playground from a creepy Salvador Dali painting.😳 I'm sure you've seen them. This was that and more. This story was surreal. Bizarre. Often ridiculous.🙄 It was a story but sometimes getting carried away might be... too much. Just an opinion.
It started well enough and Ms Phoenix did create a plausible, atmospheric, dark beginning as Rina drove in a snowstorm to her unliked recently passed Auntie. It was close to Christmas. There was a plot. Twists and turns in a decrepit and deplorable gothic mansion waiting.... for her. Rina had been volunteered to take care of her Aunt's witchy possessions. I'm with it. Very Evil Dead. Keep going. Psychological elements. Absolutely. Things moving and switching around. Gaslighting. A feeling of dread. Even when her cousins suddenly showed up, 3 brothers, big and attractive, laying on the come hither looks and teasing her that they hadn't seen each other in 8yrs increased the mystery. See Rina lost a bit of time when she was a teenager. She went into the forest and vanished. For awhile. And these cousins, they were not blood related to her, well Rina always had an attraction to Kellen, Lukan, and Roan.😝 Nevermind the unnatural dreams she had of a demon creature 20ft tall doing impossible things to her. Smut happened. Forceful. Shoving. I did cringe.😬 While the happenings in the house increased. ☠️👹🏚️👹☠️
🚩🚩Read the TWs. I repeat, read the TWs.🚩🚩
Then it switched. The landscape changed. Animals, insects, demons morphing. Remember. Salvador Dali's playground.🛝🤸🏻♀️🪢 Or Dante's Inferno. There was a twist that you might figure out, I will not spoil that here. Now it turned weird and the absurdity made me laugh. It turned filthy, depraved, and super gross. You have no idea. Painful. Screaming.😖😱 Tearing. The smut was drawn out and it kept going and going and going. Geez. It became, for me, too OTT and tedious. Stop the merry-go-round. 🎠🎠🎠 ⚠️Fair warning:⚠️ The things done were logically not possible, size difference for 1, so leave your knowledge behind. Everything was consensual.
I did like Rina. Despite the insatiable whatever that was she had going on.🚨🚨🚨🚨 She was strong, was she ever ((Ouch!)) and loyal. She loved and was over-protective. Rina was devoted. She loved her parents as well as Vaelith and her boys. They were Vaelith's boys too. They loved her but in a scuzzy sick way. I like the first half. That's all I have. Happy reading.*•>§<•*🖤🖤🖤

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 4.5/5 — “Let the Devil In” by Airicka Phoenix
Let the Devil In is an addictive, dark, and deliciously filthy ride that hooks you with the promise of smut and then smacks you with actual plot, atmosphere, and unhinged world-building. This is not a mindless spicy read—it's psychological fantasy horror erotica at its finest. The beginning is genuinely spooky, the tension is immaculate, and the descent into madness is so well-written you might start questioning your own sanity right alongside the FMC.
For readers with no triggers, I 100% recommend going in blind because the experience is so freaking good. It’s one of those “just one more page” books that will keep you awake at 2 a.m. bargaining with yourself. Do yourself a favor and pick up this book. It’s fast, filthy, immersive, and genuinely unsettling in all the best ways. An addictive page-turner that grips you by the throat and doesn’t let go until the last page—and even then, you’ll wish you could stay trapped inside just a little longer.. The spice? 4.5/5 and creatively written. The relationships between the “boys” and Rina evolve in a way that’s chaotic, sensual, and deeply entertaining—and the creature in the shadows? Terrifying and intoxicating, the perfect morally-black MMC energy monster romance readers crave.
If you love monster romance, corrupted desire, supernatural obsession, and plots that spiral delightfully out of control, this book will own you. Dont forget to check those trigger warnings!

Let the Devil In may be my new favorite book by Airicka Phoenix. I’m always excited to receive an ARC from Airicka, and I was especially delighted to get this ARC of what was promised to be an erotic horror, paranormal, dark monster Christmas romance. There was even a note saying it was smut with a little plot. But hot damn, it was so much better than I could have even anticipated.
For a story claiming to only have a little plot, I actually really loved the plot. It was interesting. Compelling. I was genuinely invested. I wasn’t really expecting a cohesive story with an intriguing mythos. There was absolutely copious smut, as promised. And I will say that those explicit scenes didn’t always feel necessary to the plot, but they were integrated well enough that they still worked well.
The explicit scenes in this book were, as usual with Airicka’s writing, delicious and filthy. There’s a laundry list of content and trigger warnings that should be checked before reading this. This is also a why-choose story. I gave the book 5 🌶️’s for spice based on the number of scenes, group play, the plethora kinks, and general darkness of some of these scenes.
I am firmly a fan of Airicka’s writing style. It’s not overly flowery while still being descriptive. It has an authentic, almost blunt, quality, especially with some of the dialogue. I felt that style shift ever so slightly for this book, but it worked for me. I felt like there was a bit more vivid description than some of her other books, and it lended well to creating the horror/paranormal atmosphere, almost dipping into a bit of a fantasy feel at times. The general vibes of the book were just immaculate.
The characters overall were wonderful, though I felt like the first three male main characters started to get a little lost towards the end. When they were first introduced, I didn’t have any difficulty picking up on their individual personalities and telling them apart. But by the end they were starting to run together for me and I struggled to remember who was who.
I gave this 4.75 stars. Absolutely incredible. I loved every second of this book and I already kind of want to read it again. This would definitely be a book I’d want to add to my physical collection, and I’d absolutely recommend it to my friends who are interested in dark, why-choose, monster romances.

2.5 ⭐️ First half of the book was really good:
✅ It is very atmospheric (sometimes to a fault as it can be too wordy and a bit confusing making me re-read lines, but that could just be me) I liked the visuals it gave, the world, the mystery, the intriguing mmc's, and the spice had me giddy!
✅ I really liked Vaelith "the devil" ...he was swoon worthy in the beginning
But then the last half lost me:
❌ I had a hard time buying into the great love affair between Vaelith and Rina, partly since it happened off page, but also because...Rina has this insatiable sexual appetite you see (and I have no problem with that)...but that is ALL that is talked about of their past relationship! How she was such a good whore, etc. How is that great love? Nope, not feelin' it. And I definitely couldn't picture her as a Queen of the realm.
❌ This last half is the opposite of the first. We go from world building with some spice to...smut, smut, smut - oh I better add some world building/plot - smut, smut, smut.
❌ Speaking of spice...what the hell happened? In the beginning it was creative and erotic but this last half is just unrealistic, cringey, torture porn. Apparently because we can birth a baby head out of that hole, shoving the equivalent and more up there makes for good spice. But hey, if you like screaming, ripping, all holes filled, and rearranged guts for sex...this is your jam. Rina certainly did since she continually orgasmed and squirted enough to fill a kiddie pool! Also the author tried to throw in "taboo" by having Vaelith get it on with his sons (but not really sons) ...again, it did not work and just ruined it for me.
❌ Using the word "switch" for a women's clitoris... I'll take bean, nub, clit, any day over that.
❌ Finally, this last half needs an editor big time. Soooo many errors.

Rina's Aunt Laura passed away, and the estate of her Victorian house in the Appalachian Mountains is left to her. She heads there in a blistering snowstorm, and when she arrives, the house seems to have an eerie and unsettling feeling. People from the past come back, and memories start returning; weird things start happening.
This book is full of steamy, descriptive spice that will leave you on fire! The MCs have a strong connection, and the chemistry is off the charts. You could tell that the guys really did care about Rina and couldn't live without her, and she was drawn to them in a way that she wouldn't be happy if they weren't in her life.
I don't know how to say much else about the book without giving too much away. But there were lots of twists in the book that were shocking, which added more depth and intrigue to the story. There were some heartbreaking and tragic moments, but it also has mystery, suspense, action and romance.

😈🖤You don't know it yet, but you belong with us, Rina. You need to come home👹🖤
"How can there be anyone else when you are everything, Rina? We live only for you."
"You don't know it yet, but you belong with us, Rina. You need to come home."
"I will never tire of you. I will never want another soul the way I ache and yearn for you. You are my heart. The very thing keeping me alive. I will keep you until the every end of my existence."
I didn't know what to expect when I read this book blind and I didn't expect any of this, in a very good way 😆. This was an amazing book filled with so much smut and little plot. The plot and storyline was still good and very present to me. Airicka is the queen of writing smut and this story was next level smutiness. This book was so deranged, filthy, and dirty. The dirty talk alone on this was 🔥🔥🔥🥵🥵. This book had me blushing 🤣.
I can't say much about the plot and I don't want to give anything away since there is a plot twist. Once that hit I was like ohhhhhh. This book kept you guessing what was real and what wasn't. I loved the paranormal aspect of this story and the world she built up. Rina went to deal with her aunts estate after she died, only to reunite with men from her past. What she didn't expect was all the secrets and sudden feelings she was having. The chemistry between every character in this story was off the charts OMG 🥵🥵. I literally have no words for how nasty the smut was 😏💦🤭. I will read anything and everything by this author. Such a fantastic wild and spicy story with some feels 🥹🖤. Would I let all four of these men in? OH HELL YES!

I loved the paranormal aspect of this story and the world she built up. Rina went to deal with her aunts estate after she died, only to reunite with men from her past. What she didn't expect was all the secrets and sudden feelings she was having. The chemistry between every character in this story was off the charts OMG 🥵🥵. I literally have no words for how nasty the smut was 😏💦🤭. I will read anything and everything by this author. Such a fantastic wild and spicy story with some feels 🥹🖤. Would I let all four of these men in? OH HELL YES!

After Rina's despicable aunt dies, Rina has to go to her aunt's house to inventory it for resale. Snowed into the creepy, crumbling Victorian home, she's surprised when three men from her past join her. They're different than they used to be, but she can't deny her attraction to them and the shadowy monster that haunts her dreams. It soon becomes clear that there is much that Rina can't remember from her past, and she has to make a decision about that past before midnight.
This story had a very interesting story line with some intriguing hints of world building. I really liked the premise as well as the twist (which I don't want to give away at all). The main thrust of this book is erotic in nature, however.
I did like Rina quite a bit. She is a surprisingly practical and loyal, given her personal kinks and preferences. She knows she lost something as a teen, but she's not sure what. She cares deeply for her parents, and for everyone else that she loves. The interactions between herself and her four love interests are generally well done, though occasionally the sexual content drags on a little bit long, or takes a dangerous and improbable twist. As there are inhuman lovers involved, this was to be expected, but there were a few times throughout where I was just grew tired of the content.
Let the Devil in is an erotic horror story meant for mature audiences. It contains supernatural creatures, a whole lot of yearning, and an interesting world. An extremely spicy read.

If you’re into the gothic vibe, buckle up. Picture this: a brooding Victorian manor materializing out of a white-out snowstorm in the Appalachian Mountains, the home of a late aunt no one ever had a kind word for. From page one, the atmosphere is thick enough to taste. Rina is volunteered to settle the estate, but the moment she crosses the threshold, everything tilts sideways. There is something decidedly creepy about the place, but then come her three step-cousins—Kellen, Kukan, and Roan— who appear unexpectedly while the storm claws at the doors. Something about them is… off. She hasn’t seen them in years, yet they look at her like they’ve been waiting. And looming behind them is the mysterious figure they only ever call Father. But they aren’t the only shadows stalking these halls. Then there’s HIM. The presence that slips into her dreams at night, claiming her as his queen. All right, you knew what you were getting, so let’s cut to the chase. This book is smut—gloriously excessive, unapologetically dark smut. And not just any smut: this is Airicka Phoenix, which means triggers galore. Expect just about everything: primal play, captivity, breeding kink. It’s the full buffet. And then the second half arrives and somehow cranks everything up even further, occasionally veering into full-on jaw-drop territory. It’s dark. It’s twisted. It’s wildly, disturbingly addictive. If you’re craving erotic monster romance at its most unhinged, this is it. But don’t say you weren’t warned.

Loads of steamy smut... M/F, M/F/M, M/F/M/M, M/M/M/M, M/F/M/M/M... HFN ending, there is no peeks into their future.
When 18 year old Katerina Harrington walked into a fairy ring and was transported to a different world where mystical creatures live including a large demon more of a God who creaked the wilds or nature from the plants to the animals and everything in between. Rina is the only human that stepped through to the beasts kingdom but she didn't fear but fell in love with this horny beast that made her his wife, his queen, plaything and took pieces of his sole to create 3 shades, her boys.
Now Rina is 27, can't remember that summer where she or what she did but lives with very vivid dreams of her dark lover and nature pleasuring her. She is all done with men since they never measure up and they all end with their lives.
Vaekith, a demiurge, a primordial God of many, made of vines, trees, fur, antlers, lots about needing to knot his queen until his and his shades baby batter juice goes from burning hot to cool to breed her and keeping her and since she's not human he believes he can claim and his Queen for all eternity.
Shade pretending to be Roan is Aamon
'' " Kellen is Ciaran
" " Lukan is Malakar.......all a piece of their father for their Queen's enjoyment and love but also for their father help and loneliness.
