Well! Ummm, as the title says, this is one "Wicked Hot" read! You've got your demons and your Nephilim...well actually it's just one demon who's the filling in the Nephilim sandwich! (Lucky, lucky demon!) I've read other stories by Charlene Teglia, but this one is the best yet! Be sure and sit somewhere cool, because I guar-an-tee, you'll be hot when you're done.

Edana is a succubus and if she does say so herself, a really hot-bodied one! Now, she may be blonde and beautiful, but that's not to say she's not smart...smartish maybe. Her job is really easy these days what with all the lax public morals, blah, blah, blah. At least her job WAS easy, until Nick (that would be Satan) gave her the job of seducing a Nephilim. Who knew they still existed? And when she catches sight of Eli, WHOA MAMA, this job is going to be so very, very enjoyable!! Unfortunately, Eli immediately recognizes and 'binds' her. Then he takes he home with him until he can figure out what to do with her. And...lo and behold, there's two of 'em. Eli is hot and dominant and Dal is hot and fun, and both of them are horny as all getout, but can't trust themselves around humans. And so, it looks like Edana get to try and sate BOTH of them, separately and together!

Yowza...if there's a way to have sex with one, two, or three participants...they do in this book! Charlene Teglia can write a sizzling sex scene and her efforts in this book are truly stellar!

If hot-bodied half-mortal, half-angel men who have years of lackanookie to make up for sound good to you, then you should run right out and buy this book. It'll keep you glued to the pages to the very end. It's another one for my keeper shelf!!

I am such a weirdo sometimes. Books like this one I really really like or just straight up hate. This one I loved. I was hooked from page one and had a hard time putting this one down. This was super hot. Burning up the pages hot.

No name for 99% of the book or Babe or Demon or by the end Edana was funny and witty and just straight up ready for anything. She is a succubus. Satan or better know as Nick has an assignment for her. Seduce Eli a Nephilim and take his soul. Oh yeah but be careful cause he can bind you. HA! Good luck !!

Lets just say she is plain screwed ok. I mean that in the since that he is onto her from moment one. Takes her home until he figures out what to do with her. Oh but surprise surprise there's not one Nephilim there are two. I enjoyed the story build up. You have about 90 some odd pages of them getting to know one another and no sex. Just mistrust and smexy comments from Eli's brother Dal .

Then there is the whole first time getting it on. Nah she cant just do one and be good she has to have them both. This girl would try anything. OMG.. So from here the story line kinda just trails along (not bad) but its about the next 200 pages of Sex, Sex and oh yeah more sex ... sex in the woods , on the kitchen table, on the chair, in the bed, against the wall. Now she liked them both.But had feelings more toward one than the other. One friend w/benefits the other an emotional attraction. She had them both together so many times and then apart so many time. CT was very creative and I never felt like she was repeating the same scene.

Dal was sweet and funny .. I just loved him. But he could be totally serious too. Then Eli gezz he needed to chill. He was so damn serious all the time. So Dominating, commanding. Super Duper Alpha. Damn it was hot. Eli controlled a lot of the sex play. Unless he wasn't around.The last threesome play was just that play. It was like oh lets play a game. I bet I can tie your legs to this chair your arms behind your back oh and lets blind fold you. I bet you cant tell who is who by taste or feel. Oh yeah baby! Oh and how about Anything goes?? You up for that babe?? Oh hell yeah!Loved that scene. lol The ending was like huh?? Never would have thought of that. I was glad when Edana got her Happy happy time,.. oops I mean happy ending. lol

My. My. My. This IS a hot one. Menage a go go. I have to say where this book is short on plot, it is long on sex. This was a great, fun, sexy read. 3 major love acts represented.

This book is all about the sex. It's kinda funny....because there is a whole supernatural world embedded into the story with plot lines suggested all over the place and mention of characters that seem very interesting, not to mention a nuance of 'the world could end for humans'....but it's all about the sex. Don't get me wrong, the sex is hooooooooot and I love the brothers, but I'm curious about all the other stuff. This could have been a trilogy or series or something, and then I would forgive the lack of plot development. But as a stand alone - it's bothersome. I'm thinking if you have a plot and suggest major conflicts in that plot, you must at least address them and possibly resolve them. If you want it to be all about the sex, don't introduce the plot!

So even though there is a 'supernatural' element to it, it really doesn't influence the story except for amazing male stamina. You want a hot alpha man, Eli is it. I wanted to see more emotion from him before the very end, but that might just be personal preference.

You'll notice I still gave it 4 stars despite unresolved plot issues. Yes, it's because the sex was that hot!

The Review:
I thought overall, it was a great read. I read in the matter of two days. When they say hot and steamy... this book delivers just that.

Characters:
Edana is the succubus. (I looked it up.. succubus is a demon who takes the form of a highly attractive woman to seduce men. They draw energy from the men to sustain themselves, often until the point of exhaustion or death.) Her character is actually quiet funny and very blunt.

Eli and Dalen are Nephilim (Again, I looked up...no help.) They are describes as very huge men... in every department. My imagination can only fill in the blanks!!! Eli is a control freak and warrior; while Dalen is the magic master and playful one!


Plot:
Edana's job is to seduce the warrior. His soul should be lost in hell forever. The warrior/magician are the last of their kind. The demon world is becoming over populated and they can't let that happen... That is why there are here. That is why the banish demons away; to control population! Can't give it all away...

Surprise Element:
The ending... kinda never really saw what was coming until the last few pages. And I do mean that. I kinda had a feeling something was going to happen with Edana and Eli, but never what happened.

Predictability:
There really was none; except the sex. You knew that was going to happen... with who or how might not have been predictable, but sex was going to happen!

Smut Factor:
Well... I was not exactly looking for the m/f/m thing. Didn't really know that was going to happen. Yea, I know... two virile lovers... nope, that didn't give it away for me. But the way it was balanced out was rather surprising. Now there were some parts that were very x-rated in the way it was told. I like hot scenes as much as the next, but some language takes some getting use to... especially when I just plunged back into the world of (erotic) reading from what seems like forever.

Positive:
The story is actually quiet delicious! The middle of the book will let you hot and bothered. I love how Charlene gave the devil a name: Nick! Go figure. The ending is very "awww" moving. Makes you close the cover saying, "It really was a good book!"

Negative:
The ending came very quick *no pun intended*. It went from story/sex/sex/sex/story.... to the end.

Cover:
The cover is smoking HAWT.... man half naked... fire... come on

Edana is a succubus sent by the devil, Nick, to seduce and steal the soul of Eli, a nephilim. However, she encounters Eli and his brother, Dal and this begins the very hot threesome action that continues through this entire book. The sex was major hot and way off the charts. However, I found the story VERY lacking. There was pages and pages of sex but little substance. Edana has ever had an orgasm - ever not even when she was human, so when Eli gives her her first one, she's hooked. And since he's bound her to him, she must do whatever he wants, including have sex with his brother. I found the storyline just a bit bizarre and the ending a little too pat. Am I supposed to believe that after all this major three-way screwing that not only does she fall in love with Eli, he also falls in love with her???? How is this possible? The only connection they had was when Eli and Dal were making her the filling in their sex sandwich. I'm all for hot sex scenes, which this book never lacked. However, I didn't buy the whole HEA at the end of the book.

[Darcy · Rating 3 out of 5]

This one started out slow, but the premise of this one sounded interesting to me. We have a succubus, who died a virgin and in over 1000 years has not had sex because once the lust kicks in she has their soul and is done. Along with 2 Nephilim, men who can't loose control while having sex or there will be disastrous results.

It was interesting to see Eli get all hot and bothered over Edana. You just knew he didn't want to want her, but he couldn't help it. To help hold back his desires he invites his brother Dal to play with them. This leads to so very fun sex scenes. The three of them seem to have so much fun playing with each other and toss around Double entendres left and right. But as things go on, Eli gets more possessive, which is fun to see.

I wasn't sure how this one was going to end up with a HEA, because if Edana won the guys would loose their souls, but if the guys won Edana would probably be destroyed, so it was interesting to see how things were resolved.

[May Mostly Romance · Rating 4 out of 5]

หนังสือแนวอีโรติคพารารนอมอลชิคลิกอีโรติคโรแมนซ์ (แม็กซ์ไม่ได้เขียนผิดเขียนอีโรติคซ้ำกันสองรอบหรอกค่ะ เรื่องมันฮ็อตมากน่ะ ก็เลยแถมอีโรติคให้สองครั้งไปเลย)

รีวิวกันอย่างตรง ๆ ก็ขอบอกว่า เล่มนี้มีแต่ฉากเซ็กส์เป็นหลัก สมกับที่เป็นแนวอีโรติค แต่ท่ามกลางฉากเอ็กซ์อันมากมายนั้น แม็กซ์ชอบตัวละคร และพล็อตเรื่องที่แม้จะน้อยนิด ก็น่าสนใจ

เอเดน่าเป็นซัสคิวบัส (Succubus) หรือปีศาจที่อยู่ได้ด้วยตัณหา (ตัณหาเป็นอาหารของเธอ) และมีหน้าที่หลอกล่อดวงวิญญาณของมนุษย์มาให้กับซาตาน (ในที่นี้ก็คือนิค ซึ่งน่าจะมาจากชื่อซาตานที่หลายคนเรียกกัน Old Nick)

ที่ตลกก็คือเอเดน่าเป็นสาวบริสุทธิ์ เธอตายในปี 1066 ซึ่งถ้าคุณเป็นนักประวัติศาสตร์ หรืออ่านโรแมนซ์มานานพออย่างแม็กซ์ ก็จะรู้ว่าปีนี้มีความสำคัญเช่นไร เพราะมันเป็นปีที่วิลเลี่ยมแห่งนอร์แมนดียกทัพบุกเกาะอังกฤษ และสถาปนาราชวงค์นอร์แมน เอเดน่าฆ่าชาวนอร์แมนด้วยความเกลียด ก่อนจะถูกเพื่อนของเขาฆ่าตายเช่นกัน ด้วยการทำบาป ดวงวิญญาณของเธอถูกสาปให้เป็นซัสคิวบัส และเนื่องจากความเป็นซัสคิวบัสทำให้เธอจะกลืนกินพลังชีวิตของมนุษย์ผู้มีั ตัณหา ทำให้พวกเขาตายลงก่อนที่จะไปไหนต่อไหนกับเธ���ได้

ดังนั้นพันปีต่อมา เอเดน่าก็ยังคงความบริสุทธิ์เอาไว้ ในทางร่างกายนะคะ แต่อย่างอื่นนี่ รู้ดีไปหมดแล้วล่ะ

นิคมอบงานช��้นสำคัญให้เอเดน่าในการยั่วยวนอีไล ซึ่งเป็นเนฟเฟลิม (Nephilim) หรือลูกครึ่งมนุษย์และเทวดา (angel) ทั้งนี้ไม่ควรจะมีเนฟเฟลิมหลงเหลือในโลกมนุษย์อีกแล้วหลังจากน้ำท่วมครั้ง ใหญ่ (ตามคัมภีร์ไบเบิ้ล) แต่การปรากฎตัวของอีไลทำให้เหล่าปีศาจงุนงง

และเนื่องจากเล่มนี้เป็นอีโรติคพารานอมอล เรื่องก็เลยโฟกัสอยู่ที่เซ็กส์เป็นหลัก ตั้งแต่หน้าแรกจนถึงหน้าสุดท้าย เอเดน่าแม้จะไม่อยากรับงาน เพราะรู้ถึงชื่อเสียงของพวกเนฟเฟลิมดีกว่าเก่งขนาดไหน แต่เธอก็ไม่มีทางเลือก และเมื่อได้พบกับอีไลครั้งแรก เขาก็รู้ทันทีว่าเธอเป็นใคร และมีจุดประสงค์ยังไง

อีไลใช้เวทมนตร์ผูกเอเดน่าไว้ และนั่นหมายถึงเธอไม่อาจขัดคำสั่งเขาได้ แต่ก็ใช่ว่าเอเดน่าอยากจะขัดคำสั่งหรอกนะ เธอเป็นซัสคิวบัสที่มีชีวิตอยู่ด้วยตัณหา และอีไลก็มีเหลือให้เธอเต็มที่

แต่นอกจากอีไลแล้ว เธอยังได้พบกับเดล น้องชาย (แม็กซ์คิดว่านะ) ของอีไล ซึ่งเป็นเนฟเฟลิม และแม้เดลจะไม่ได้ดึงดูดความสนใจของเธออย่างที่อีไลมี แต่เอเดน่าก็ไม่ปฏิเสธที่จะปฏิเสธเขา โดยเฉพาะเมื่อเธอเป็นซัสคิวบัส และตัณหาคือความเชี่ยวชาญของเธอ

วิธีการเล่าเรื่องที่ผ่านมุมมองของเอเดน่าคนเดียว รวมทั้งความคิดและการกระทำหลายอย่างของนางเอก ทำให้แม็กซ์มองว่าเล่มนี้มีกลิ่นของชิคลิคปนมาไม่น้อย

พล็อตเรื่องเล่มนี้ไม่มีอะไรเลย แต่แม็กซ์คิดว่ามันน่าจะเป็นจุดเล่มต้นของหนังสือชุดนะคะ เราชอบวิธีการอธิบายของอีไลในเรื่องการเกิดใหม่ของเนฟเฟลิม ที่เล่าว่า ในอดีตเนฟเฟลิมมีมาก และด้วยความสามารถในการยั่วยวนมนุษย์ เนฟเฟลิมขยายเผ่าพันธุ์ตัวเองจนมากกว่ามนุษย์ และนั่นเป็นเหตุผลที่เนฟเฟลิมต้องตายในเหตุการณ์น้ำท่วมใหญ่ เพราะความสมดุลจะต้องคงอยู่ แต่เมื่อขาดเนฟเฟลิมที่คอยปกป้องมนุษย์แล้ว ปีศาจก็เพิ่มจำนวนขึ้น จนบัดนี้มนุษย์ร่อยหล่อลง ทำให้เนฟเฟลิมเป็นที่ต้องกาีำรอีกครั้ง

แต่การกลับมาของเนฟเฟลิมก็จำเป็นต้องมีบททดสอบ และเอเดน่าคือแบบทดสอบของอีไลในความสามารถในการควบคุมตัณหาของเขา (เนื่องจากครั้งก่อนที่มีเนฟเฟลิม พวกเขาควบคุมตัวเองไม่ได้ และแพร่ขยายพันธุ์ไปกับมนุษย์โลกจนทั่ว)

แม็กซ์ชอบเอเดน่า ชอบในความตรงไปตรงมาในเรื่องเพศอย่างมากของเธอ มันเหมาะกับคาแร็คเตอร์ความเป็นซัสคิวบัสของเธอดี ในขณะเดียวกันความยอมรับในความสัมพันธ์ที่มีกับทั้งอีไลและเดล ก็อยู่ในขอบเขตที่เด่นชัดจนไม่ทำให้แม็กซ์รู้สึกว่าเดลเข้ามามีส่วนอะไรในโร แมนซ์เล่มนี้ เพราะสำหรับเอเดน่าทุกอย่างก็เฉพาะและเพื่ออีไลเท่านั้น

และถึงจะเป็นการดำเนินเรื่องผ่านมุมมองของเอเดน่าเพียงคนเดียว แม็กซ์ไม่รู้สึกว่าตัวเองไม่รู้จักอีไลนะคะ เราอาจไม่ได้เห็นความคิดของเขา แต่แม็กซ์ว่าคนแต่งค่อนข้างชัดเจนในเรื่องความรู้สึกของอีไล

ไม่ได้บอกว่าเล่มนี้เป็นหนังสือที่ดีมากนะคะ แต่สำหรับคนที่อยากอ่านอีโรติคโรแมนซ์ ก็ขอแนะนำแล้วกัน มันฮ็อต และมีคาแร็คเตอร์ที่น่าอ่าน แม้ว่าจะอ่อนด้อยในเรื่องพล็อตไปอย่างมากก็ตาม

และตอนจบ (สปอยล์) แม็กซ์ชอบการที่เฉลยว่า แท้จริงแล้ว นิคเองก็มีส่วนในการจับคู่ระหว่างเอเดน่าและอีไล

คะแนนที่ 75

Straight rip of Georgina Kincaid. Go read succubus blues, it’s much better.

[Gaby · Rating 2 out of 5]

there really isn't a plot to the book and is very repetitive. if all you want is horrible book porn this is for you.

[Cat Russell (Addicted2Heroines) · Rating 3 out of 5]

This story actually had a lot of potential.. which surprises me because I wasn't expecting much. The first 150 pages or so really held my attention even though I kept thinking about how laughable the storyline actually was. A virgin succubus is bound by a Nephilim whose brother becomes involved and they have endless rounds of sex in an attempt to test their self-control while the succubus willingly participates because she believes she can force them to become consumed with lust and steal their souls. Apparently Nephilim can separate lust from the act of sex.
I didn't have long to contemplate on how ridiculous that idea seemed because it wasn't long before any semblance of a plot disappeared beneath the overwhelming amount of carnal sex scenes. That was to be expected though and some of the scenes were pretty hot.
I had an idea that this was basically literary porn before I started. If the reviews left me with any doubt about that, there was the book cover featuring a half-naked man next to the phrase "Two immortal warriors, satisfying her every need....". ;)
Despite my complaints, I actually enjoyed Teglia's writing style for the most part. If a couple of the more over-the-top sex scenes were removed, this story would have been much more enjoyable. I found myself growing fond of Eli's character and I was also curious about Dal and his apprentice, both with their relationship and what it was he was teaching her to do. Like I said, it had potential. I wouldn't try to discourage anyone from reading it, but I wouldn't readily recommend it either.

"By then I'd probably be a raisin from long-term exposure to humidity and heavy rainfall. Could I inspire lust if my hair frizzed?"

This book drew me in from the beginning. How can you not like a brave succubus doing her job. She is waaay too good at her job. Damned before she could even try sexual relations and becoming what she is was her lot in life, err death, and her next mission could mean triumph or obliteration. Having no choice she complies and is caught by Eli, bound to him she quickly begins to fall for him. Seeing his place as nephilim and warrior of good was needed in a world overrun with the demonic she decides early on to sacrifice herself for good of all things. She may not have wanted to die, but she saw the alternative of taking Eli and Dal's souls as wrong. And while her choice to help them to control their overwhelming lust was also rewarding her as well she had no idea how rewarding her love for Eli was going to be. I thought this book was hot, sexy, and somehow very sweet. Eli was intense and controlling while Dal appears to be almost care-free and joyful in comparison; they make a perfect foil to one another and the two of them together was just plain fiery. I truly enjoyed this book.

[MissT · Rating 3 out of 5]

Well meh and meh! Okay well this was my first real erotic book. I don't class 50 Shards of Bore as an erotic book by any tick of the clock, so I was happy to read this one based on some pretty good reviews.
I liked it don't get me wrong. I chose it because the actual storyline intrigued me. Edana a succubus (demon) and Eli and Dal, brothers and Nephilim (Immortal Warriors whose job it is to kill off demons if they start to overrun the humans in population) Well you can guess the rest really!
The storyline was interesting but weak. I really would of liked to see more of a story to satisfy my need for the dark side of life (demons witches warlocks blah blah!) but alas it was mostly hot sex scenes.
Am I really complaining about sex scenes considering I thought 50 SOG was vanilla?!?!?!?!!?
Well yes and no. Overall an okay read if erotica floats your boat. Me? Well I will go back to haunted sinking boats caused by all sorts of evil delights!!! But that's just me :-)

I don't even know what to say...my brain is sort of sad that I wasted time with this. I hate to give a bad review on any book because it is someone's work and hopefully their passion put to paper, but this was just horrible.

If you want a plot or story this is not for you, if all you want it horrible, graphic, book porn you're going to love this book...maybe.

Thanks for nothin' Amber ;)
