"I've just discovered a few secrets about this new world I'm now a part of that both frightens and excites me."

I just woke up from one hell of a night. My body was still tingling all over from the mind-blowing experience of what I went through. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to reflect on that... or even bask in it. I had to attend a demonic shindig and bring an innocent human along with me, most likely for a human sacrifice if what Agent Smith from the Society has told me is true. The problem I'm having is searching for a human to bring to the slaughter. A person who's done nothing wrong. They don't deserve to be put in the line of danger, nor do they deserve to die. How am I going to keep my cover, learn more about this demon cult I'm trying to infiltrate and keep innocent people from being hurt? God, I'm so far out of my league right now. I need help, but who?

Warning: This serial contains strong adult content not meant for sensitive eyes. The novelettes in this serial will be filled with dark, twisted, raunchy and steamy scenes between powerful, sexy men that will either offend you or get ya revved up. This series will not be pulling any punches, and it won’t apologize for hurting your feelings, either. You’ll find no fluff and ruffles here. These demons play hard and they fight dirty. There are approximately 36600 words in this novelette.

About The Maniac Who Wrote These Books

I'm the author of deliciously dark, sexy, and thrilling MM fiction in various genres. I corrupt readers with salacious tales of possessive men staking their claims on the men who make their blood rise in certain places. I know... I should be ashamed, but I'm shameless. I'm a public menace that can't be stopped, and my characters are rude, sassy, charming, arrogant, and hotter than sinners in hell. They tell me what they want and I follow orders. When I'm not hunched over my keyboard typing away, I love to watch movies and TV shows (You should check out my reviews.)

I have to admit, I am enjoying this series somewhat...As I read the beginning books to catch to this book 4. I really like Brian Cordero, but I can't enjoy his sex scenes with Raphael because of how that relationship began. I wonder if the author could have achieved this sexual relationship via another avenue ( because I think I would have enjoyed their hot as hell scenes better.

Also, it's interesting watching Brian's sexual evolution as well as his growing involvement in the paranormal society. Demon King Adriel is helping Brian learn about Agoto's functions. But if I am truthful, I enjoy Brian better with Raphael, but then I fell bad about that.

I appreciate that Nicholas Bella keeps these short. I also prefer these in audio so I will wait until book 5 gets recorded before I continue with the series.

OK I am not going to lie...that was fucking painful.  I know I should not expect romance but uuuugggghhhh...

The first half of this installment was 5 Star Brilliant...I freaking love Raphael.  He is up there for me with Theoden (New Haven Series).  Just an awesome presence and wickedly hot hot hot.  While these two never got to "bring each other pleasure", they sure found a way to work the rules.  Phew. 


In a panic, I released Raphael’s hair and pushed him off of me, but he grabbed my wrists, snatching them off his chest. He pinned them to
the wall over my head before reclaiming my mouth. I had never been dominated by anyone in my life, let alone a man. There was
something so animalistic about the way he took over my body. It was just raw fucking passion in its purest form and
I couldn’t deny that I was on fire. I was delirious with lust as he kissed my neck and nibbled my ear. Oh fuck!






Then comes Adriel...



Yeah...I just don't like him. 


I mean...I get it...but it doesn't mean that I like it...AT ALL!!!!! Where did my Raphael go??  And why couldn't he have at least been present??  I mean Adriel as a "Director" that's hot.  But Adriel as a "Participant"...



Els and I have now read 19 installments by Nicholas Bella.  And this has included some of the craziest mindfucking brilliance I 
have ever read. But this one crossed a line for me and I know it should not have bothered me, but it did. Again...I should have known better and I will remind readers...this is NOT A ROMANCE...so I need to listen to myself and turn that part of my brain OFF. 

I am ready for more...no doubt. But Adriel needs to fucking stay away from Brian and give me a chance to come to grips with this.  I mean...at least give me a threesome instead.  YES...I said that. I would take that any day over what I felt with this installment.  

Worn out...and eagerly awaiting more.

I opened my mouth, feeling the power of what I was drawing her spirit to me. It entered me in a bright blue mist that ignited my entire being instantly. I was on fire with pleasure, so much so, I was lost in nothing but the purest of sensations. Oh my god! I fell to my knees from the sheer force of the potency. My cock filled instantly, hardening to the point of throbbing in a matter of seconds. The tingling in my balls was explosive and I could feel my sacs drawing up. Before I was even finished feeding, my body released, flooding my jeans with hot, sticky cum. I leaned forward, laying her on the floor as I convulsed in the pure bliss of one of the most intense climaxes I’d ever experienced.
Phew.

“Holy shit, your lover is Raphael!” Azreal exclaimed, and for the first time since Raphael’s arrival, I had noticed the fear in their eyes as they took a few cautious steps backward.
What a damn turn on! Phew!

“Speaking of your loft, how come I’ve never been there?” I asked, trying not to sound too testy.
Raphael looked at me. "Because you were acting like a twat about fucking me, so I didn’t invite you.”

"You just remember to keep your hands and lips to yourself. We can’t do anything and I don’t want to be riled up,” I warned.
“Ooooh,” Raphael moaned as he stepped up to me, grabbed my waist and pulled me closer for another of his ice-melting kisses. “So, I rile you up, do I?” he flirted after he broke the kiss.

Absolutely loving these two together.

I know these are Demons...but I really don't like Adriel with Brian without Raphael there. Raphael...where are you???

Not as porn-worthy as the previous installment. Had a lot more exposition, too. The sex scenes were hot, but other than Adriel being so good at paddling and fucking that Brian is sort of forced into admitting that maybe he's not as straight as he though, that he likes getting The D...well, they weren't as exciting as I thought they'd be; Nicholas went full out with the Tentacle Demon in a previous book and now I'm expecting that kind of scene. *sigh*

I do like the moral ambiguity here of a cop who has to decide if he can justify the lives of millions against the death of a single innocent soul. And later on, even more of a mind-fuck: If he can live with killing more people (who don't necessarily deserve it) to cement for himself a harder reputation in order to infiltrate & ultimately bring down this demon cult. I think it will be kind of interesting to see how and where he draws the line (or if he does).

(As for the audio? I'm a little over how the narrator portrays Raphael's Italian accent. Sounds like a slightly breathless and sexier version of the "Mama Mia, that's a spicy meatball" guy. Totally ridiculous.)

Drop Everything BR, October 12th with Julie!!

The story continues and I loved seeing Brian and Raphael getting more intimate with each other.

The scene where Raphael comes to Brian's rescue was awesome!

“Here I am, get a good look,”
See for yourself, demon, you could never be my competition.”


Oh and the elevator scene:


In a panic, I released Raphael’s hair and pushed him off of me, but he grabbed my wrists, snatching them off his chest.
He pinned them to the wall over my head before reclaiming my mouth. I had never been dominated by anyone in my life, let alone a man.
There was something so animalistic about the way he took over my body.
It was just raw fucking passion in its purest form and I couldn’t deny that I was on fire.


But then the story carried on with

Although they were hot and Brian did learn more about being a demon and being more of a mate to Raphael,
I really felt cheated about

So if you don't mind, I'll be pouting in the corner till Nicholas gives me my men back!!

The sexual tension wasn't as pronounced this round as the MC is starting to accept that he swings for hot male specimens too. This is thanks to the relentless harsh lessons provided by his iron fist Master. That man is a true sadist who relishes in sexual tortures as well as painful punishments of his submissives. His ego knows no bounds.

I love that the MC and his mate are warming up to each other so well. And there are sure signs of their budding romance in the air. Their passion and sexual attraction to each other is still sizzling if not more so now. Their chemistry is undeniable and very charming. I love every moment when these two are together and wish for more. I totally ditto the MC that his mate in possessive alpha mode is hot and sexy as hell. Just like the MC, I too would love to fuck him when he is in that dominate mode.

So far, I think this series has got a good balance between the smut and the plot. In addition, it's good spank bank smut, so I have no complaint there. Aside from that, I like that there is tons of testosterone in the males, they fuck, eat, drink and talk like real men with balls. I totally dig MM books with such an element. There are just too many 'men in skirts' in MM romances and rot your teeth sweet ol' rainbows and unicorns scenarios. It's what made me lay off reading MM romances for some time now. I will be back for some of that sugary stuff when I felt like it someday.

I feel like nothing much happened plot wise in this one, other than lots of sex. There wasn't much cop stuff this time... like at all. I don't think we saw his partner at all.
And for the first half, I was like 'yay, not rape for a change'.

Then the second half happened lol.

The Brian/Raphael big punishment scene was a bit much, but that's just my opinion.

If I can find the next one on audiobook, I will continue with it.

I'm happy to see the relationship between Brian and Raphael blossom more. However, Brian becomes too whiny for my taste. He acts and talk like a heroine from chick-lit. Shouldn't he suppose to be a macho policeman?

There's some stories and developments in the first part of the book. Some sweet and swoon moments between Brian ans Raphael are a bit girly. After that, it's mostly sex. I like that Brian slowly accepts his demonnessand gayness.

Awesome continues...

Brian is continuing to learn more about the demon world and his mate and his king, all while trying to help society stop the ritualistic killings and close one of the demon gates before something worse comes out and spells death and destruction for humankind. Can’t wait to read what happens next.

Time to Fess Up

How funny it was for Brian to realize that he had no choices in his life now. He thought he was smart and street wise but didn't have a clue about the demon world. Hijinks was his schooling.

So very hot

This series is forming up to be in my top three from this author. I have to admit that I like the New Haven/Odin Chronicles a bit more, but Brian's training as both an Agoto and as a subject to the king are fascinating and so very hot to read.

Sexy and filled to the brim...

But way too short. This is a very sexy novel but I just wish they could be longer. Even as an erotic novel I wanted to get into the action or at least the eroticism better balanced with lots of action.
Now into the next chapter! Yay!

Demons among us III

Man, this series just keeps getting better and better. I love the ease and flow of conversations. Even though there are demons and it's all fantasy I believe the characters.
Onward to the next.

**ARC received from Author in Exchange for a honest review**

Do you have read and say to yourself, I wish I could get in this authors head. Mr. Bella is one of those writers that leaves me with a wow factor. I will always consider myself lucky reading his very first book, its been such a amazing ride, one that I hope continues. Nicholas wrote about vampires and werewolves and now demons. Which this series is just as smooth and exciting as his first series.

The characters are hot sexy demanding and controlling. I'm surprised my kindle didn't melt. (smiles) M/M genre wasn't something I thought I'd like, but damn Ive read every singe book of Mr. Bella's and yeah. Intense, hot, exciting such durty durty boys. *winks*

Adriel just one word hotness, his word is law end of story, Brian the newly turned demon will have some ups and downs remembering that. Adriel his King has no problem showing Brian what he excpects from him and what happens when he doesnt get it. Rafael you will see him in all his sexy glorious style when he thinks his mate Briand has been disrepected.

Lessons, punishment, eye openers. What one thought they new about themselves, changes and a new life emerges.. ah but just out of reach. Its time to wake up to oneself or lie down and stay down.
your weakness is like a beacon, if you going to stand out be the baddest one standing.

smexy hot stuff happening, pressure and temptation. As always Nicholas delivers awesome read. I do recommened it. just remember as a warning its not for the faint of heart. Enjoy.

Brian Struggles with His Demonic Self and His Love for Humanity; He Also Unlocks New Sexual Experiences and Desires

Powerfully seductive with unending sexual punishment and rewards for both the main character and the reading audience. I like the sexual encounters detailed within the book but I also enjoy the storyline that focuses on the ritualistic killings and Brian's progress to stop a demonic summoning from taking place. Brian Cordero, the main character, still struggles with his sexual desires for his mate, but the Demon King Adriel is incredibly influential in this regard. I enjoy the introduction of new characters and Brian's interaction with the Demon World as he struggles to hold on to his humanity. In trying to save the world, must Brian sacrifice his humanity to do so? I hope to learn more about Brian, his sister, and progression of the storyline in Book 5: Charmed.

OMG!! This episode is soooooo hot I'm surprised my kindle didn't melt! Brian is finally excepting and starting to embrace what he has become. Raphael is starting to help him understand what being an Agato involves and King Adriel and Raphael are helping him embrace his new sexuality. When some lesser demons see Brian as weak Raphael pops in showing them Brian may be weak but his mate is not!
The sex is so damn hot I needed a cold shower after reading this. But warning, don't just jump in definitely start with episode one this is not a stand alone.
I want to than Nicholas for writing such an awesome series and for letting me read and review for him. It just keeps getting better and hotter with each episode.

A lot happened to Brian in this episode. Brian is coming to terms pretty quickly with who/what he is now. Adriel is a huge part of Brian's journey to find his new self. I love that he is giving in to his desires for his mate Raphael. The anger Raphael felt when he found out some lesser demons were toying with his mate, Brian showed that Raphael and Brian's connection is a strong one. I think even Raphael hasn't had these feelings for anyone before Brian. Lots of hot sex as always from one of my favorite authors! Episode 5, now please.

Wow!

Wow! Another great installment in the series. I'm not sure how Nicolas Bella comes up with this stuff, but he is a master at pulling you right in and not letting up until the last page. Hijinks was more of what I love about this series, which is the hijinks involving Brian and Raphael. Those two are so scrumptious together and now, throw in a little Adriel and you've got some in unbelievably hot and steamy sex that will have you panting and impatiently waiting for the next book. Can't wait for Charmed!

I'm glad Brian is starting to see.
