Cuando Coral vuelve al antiguo departamento para recoger las últimas pertenencias que su insoportable excompañera Angelique dejó atrás, sin querer desata el caos absoluto. ¿Cómo iba a saber que también traería de vuelta a Vazul, un demonio sexual absurdamente atractivo, de lengua afilada y humor endiabladamente ingenioso? Debería expulsarlo de inmediato, pero la sola idea de separarse de su demonio irreverente le resulta insoportable.
Con Angelique decidida a recuperar lo que considera suyo, Coral deberá ¿proteger a Vazul de los planes retorcidos de esa bruja malvada… o aprovechar la oportunidad perfecta para salir corriendo?
USA Today bestselling author Regine Abel is a fantasy, paranormal, and sci-fi junkie. Anything with a bit of magic, a touch of the unusual, and a lot of romance will have her jumping for joy. She loves writing hot alien warriors meeting no-nonsense, kick-ass heroines. Her novels are steamy, action-packed, and with the twists and turns you never saw coming.
Before devoting herself as a full-time writer, Regine had surrendered to her other passions: music and video games! After a decade working as a Sound Engineer in movie dubbing and live concerts, Regine became a professional Game Designer and Creative Director, a career that has led her from her home in Canada to the US and various countries in Europe and Asia.
This was such a fun and smutty read! The novella follows Coral, a novice witch who, after accidentally summoning Vazul, a sex demon, must decide whether she wants to keep him or not. The smut was smutting in this book, and I loved every depraved minute! Vazul and Coral were so good together, and I loved how enamored he was with her from the very beginning. He was completely determined to make her life easier and it was so sweet to see how much effort he put in to be needed and wanted by Coral. If you're in the mood for a novella that's more smut and magic than plot, this is the book for you!
2,8 💫 | Disclaimer: esta calificación no es mala para mí, pero como siempre suelo dar calificaciones altas a diestra y siniestra, este año quiero tratar de ser más objetiva (espero) jsjs.
Ahora sí. ¡Primera lectura del año! 🎉
Creo que para ser el primer libro de la autora que leo está bien, PERO no sé. Era obvio que no sería una gran historia, sobre todo porque es cortita, no hay tanto desarrollo (en general). Aun así, es entretenida y demasiado graciosa.
El Liderc, como dice la portada, es básicamente un demonio sexual que, además de servirte en la cama, también lo hace fuera de ella. Es como un sirviente (el libro lo dice tal cual).
Lit la primera vez que la ve, la llama «Ama» 🛐.
Esa fue la cosa chistosa porque él literalmente NACIÓ (del huevo en la portada jsjs) para eso. Al inicio del libro ella no sabe que hacer con él ya que de un momento a otro el Liderc comienza a ENOJARSE porque no está haciendo nada (😂). Entonces su amiga, para que no entre en pánico, le dice que le ordene barrer el suelo. Ella lo hace y al demonio se le borra el enojo y procede a limpiar el suelo felizmente JSKAJSKJA.
Y el tipo PENSABA Y RESOLVÍA. En una parte él le dice que está ahí para resolver su vida y hacerla más fácil. Nah, perfecto 🤌
Ella fue muy linda porque le hizo entender que no era solo un objeto para el disfrute de alguien más, sino una persona/demonio con sentimientos. Y que lo que él quería también importaba ✨.
Extra: él obvio necesita energía y alimentarse de algún modo. Para lograrlo tendría que drenar cada cierto tiempo parte vital de la vida de ella. PERO ella no quiere eso pq ajá le acorta la vida. Entonces él SE ALIMENTA SOLO DE SUS EMOCIONES Y SUS FAVORITAS SON LA BUENAS (felicidad, amor, placer, ternura, preocupación genuina por él). Osea él siente lo que ella siente (ajá, en el sexo también 😈).
Eso sí, las escenas spice fueron algo... indiferentes para mí. Están chidas, pero las sentí algo meh. Igual me gustaría leer algo más de la autora para ver si solo es con este libro o con su manera de escribirlas en sí ☝️.
So this was a smutty, fun but at times cringey romance. By cringe I mean… her name is Coral Reef and this book including the word: skibidi . I almost DNFed there, but I’m glad I persevere because this ended up being lots of fun.
This had the perfect blend of plot and steam. Let’s talk characters our FMC is Coral a novice witch (who seems to be so novice she might as well be human) and Vazul her accidentally summoned sex demon servant?... let’s just call him her boyfriend, because lowkey this dynamic could have skewed problematic. Coral is not keen about having accidentally summoned and in turn taken Vazul into servitude, but he needs direction from her too live and get energy from her. He is basically an incubus (don’t tell him that) with more rules and hoops to jump through.
Despite, the honestly sketchy premise of their dynamic the relationship is kind of sweet. Coral is very timid and not confident, but Vazul helps to build her up. Unlike his prior mistresses/masters Coral isn’t keen to exploit his services to build her wealth which endears her to him more.
Overall, pretty damn solid for my favorite kind of urban fantasy smut. 3.75 stars I am looking forward to the other books in the series by the other authors!!
It's clearly a rush job. The story is fun but it has so many.. not even typos, just wrong words here and there, it takes me out of the world immediately. on top of the quick description from the Liderc's POV of things happening as we hit time skips. I wasn't super fond of the obvious use of terms like obsessive compulsive tendencies or the single mention of ADHD and then lack of full representation for what the main described as her experience with it. These disorders exist, yes. but they felt lodged into the first half of the story just to seem inclusive and they never pop up again, not even the behavior of any tendencies. I technically DNF cuz i couldn't bother with the epilogue.
No fue para mí. Lo leí por curiosidad y, aunque buscaba una lectura ligera, no terminó de convencerme. No conecté con la historia ni con los personajes.
Es curioso que sus libros de la serie Agencia Primaria si me hayan gustado pero los que son fuera de esa serie no han logrado gustarme.
This is a quick read, one that does offer quite the twist when a young witch ends up with a black egg that she accidentally manages to hatch. The MMCs is hilarious at times and despite the lightness of the story, there is vulnerability to him as he realises that his new mistress does not treat him like a mere object, quite the contrary in fact - for the first time he is being approached with care and consideration. I did not quite like the FMC, I am not certain exactly what bugged me, but I felt like she was not as genuine when it came to her new partner. I have read other books by this author, which I have enjoyed, but this one did fell a tad flat for me. Nevertheless, it has some interesting elements and it is an alright story overall.
There are moments in life when you seriously question your own decision-making skills. Today, that moment arrived when I debated, long and hard, whether this book deserved a spot on my Goodreads. In the end, I added it purely for record-keeping purposes. Don't come for me. 🫣
To my friends and family: no commentary will be accepted at this time. Please pretend you never saw this. If you bring it up at dinner, I will simply pass away.
This book was… an experience. I consider myself a seasoned veteran of monster smut, seen things, read things, survived things… but this one looked me dead in the eyes and said, “Not today.” And yet? I was entertained. Confused. Slightly concerned. But entertained.
Would I recommend it? Yes, but only if you’re feeling feral, unhinged, and aggressively horny. Pro tip: abandon all expectations, clutch your pearls loosely, and keep an extremely open mind. 👌🏼
JAJAJA QUEEEEEEE Mira. Justo salí de una semana de pruebas muy estresante. Queria un libro basurita para no pensar, reirme y JAJAJA VAYA QUE CUMPLIÓ. Si quieres un libro denso para pensar, analizar el estado politico de un sistema y blabla mmm no. Este es un librito para literal reirte y gritar QUEEEEEEEEEEEE en las partes sexys. Nada q decir. Se lee en dos horitas muy agradables. Fin
Thrilling, delightful romance! The story is well-written, and the characters within are fully developed. I can picture myself in their story, perhaps with a loving Liderc of my own. Coral is a sweet, empathetic woman who is fortunate enough to have gained Vazul - a Liderc. I love her creative mind: the miniatures she creates sound fascinating. Vazul has such potential for a different style of life, but I adore that he responds so well to Coral’s personality. The two of them bring out the best in each other. Do read this delightful story. I love it!!
I forgot this author isn’t for me. I did not like her Prime Mating Agency series either.
There is a reason you put trigger warnings in the front of the book. When you stop a scene to have the characters have an inner monologue or dialogue about cringey “emotional safety” during whatever good ole debauchery you are writing, it takes away from everything. If you wrote the characters well in what you want to display in their chemistry (emotionally safe sex) then you don’t need to break this down like we are watching 7th heaven. But that’s just me 🙃
🥚 Paranormal Romance // Monster Romance 🥚 Novella 🥚 Witch x liderc (shemex demon thing) 🥚 Bonded to each other by magic 🥚 Spicy, fast-burn intimacy 🥚 Humourous, funny, golden retriever MMC
Kimberley Lemming type humour and fun, with great spice. I loved the concept, I cannot lie - IN THIS ECONOMY?! Absolutely yes please. Gimme 3 of them lol. Greedy. I had a blast reading this, such good fun. 🤩
I’m absolutely going to read more by this author and the rest of the novellas in this series by the other authors. 🙌 x
This was a short, easy read. And it was an interesting enough storyline but some of the wording stopped me in my tracks because it was so strange/ cringe. For example:
“Either way, this entire situation sucked hairy donkey balls”
After that line I started keeping track.
“Why was she so damn butt hurt?”
“While I didn’t sleep around, I had no qualms about partaking in some consensual skin on skin time”
“A big fat pile of stinking poo was about to hit the fan”
And then the MMC had some strange lines too: “this throw? Great idea, wonderful color and placement that brings life and warmth to the room. But it’s too stiff to feel natural. Here’s what I would have done instead…”
That sounds like a response from chatGPT if I asked for feedback.
But overall I like the story, and there were plenty of things that made it unique and memorable compared to other things I’ve read.
This is the perfect amount of plot and the details are 🔥 🥵 steamy. I absolutely devoured this in one sitting and wow, I was lost in this world. Sign me up to hatch an egg because I volunteer as tribute.
A sweet little romance that I fell in love with too
For a short book, the plot and conflict wrapped up nicely and I enjoyed the characters but hated the bad one.. It was super cute and fell in love right along with them!
Cute and spicy easy read about a witch who accidentally gets herself a demonic helper that stirs up her life. In the best way possible. If you like monster romances and want an easy short read, this is for you. The series is literally written by all the queens of monster romance.
This was a pretty short read and it was pretty good. I liked the overall plot and the spice was there. I might read the other books in this series, but I’m still deciding on that.
