Six books, I was glued the whole time. Unbelievable captivating, I couldn’t stop reading. A journey about Finn a young guy who meets Ezra an Incubus, a sex demon. Finn isn’t just a human, he’s a rare vascellum, who can hold sexual energy and hand it over. This all reveals throughout the story. Forces from all sides want both Finn and Ezra for their pleasure. There is a lot of stories and we meet a lot of beautiful and unique creatures, the author did a great job to keep Finn and Ezra constantly central. There are demons, vampires, shifters, humans to meet. The story is quite dark, brutal, at times non-con and dub-con. There is a lot of manipulation and seduction, and a lot of lust and pain. But also delicious sensuality, humor, and witty comments. Finn is the sunshine where everyone wants their part. It’s a well-developed journey. Greatly outlined, focused, and captivating.
I’ll try to give a (very) short impression of the books.
Seduction - Incubus I
Ezra, the incubus, wants Finn, the delicious human virgin. When Finn finally gives in, manipulated that is, he has to be with other people to soak up their energy and then pass it on to Ezra. He’ll be the most powerful sex demon in the world. Ezra must bond with Finn.
Once Finn was a bonded vascellum, even if the council found out and kicked up a fuss, there was nothing that could be done about it. They have to stick together, Finn would die without him.
Possession - Incubus II
Finn with his low self-esteem loves all the attention and possessiveness from Ezra. Only Ezra isn’t the nice sexy guy he pretends to be. Finn is a vascellum, a lust energy battery. After waking up and feeling wracked, Finn slips out of Ezra’s apartment, homewards. What he thinks of as one night with Ezra, is been a week with a lot of guys. Feeling awful he even thinks of ending himself. Then there is Milo...
Finn is mesmerized by Ezra who wants his energy battery back. Lying and manipulating innocent Finn works well. Only there is more behind it, Ezra is equally mesmerized by Finn. They fit well and the bond is getting stronger. Feelings are unknown for Ezra. Being banged by a huge line of horny guys is too much. When Finn gets abused by men, he runs into the night and the dark.
Pain - Incubus III
Running after Finn was at first a good decision, he didn’t expect to run into his personal nightmare.
This was a hard installment, ‘compelled’ was the main thing here, and omg that was HARD. Finn and Ezra can’t be separated even though there are forces who think differently.
The court will make a decision: Head of Court Avery will take care of the unique vascellum. Ezra will be returned to Fabian. Or... Avery is very conflicted with this all. To separate Finn and Ezra is unnatural and also without their consent. Thank goodness Finn and Ezra have creatures in their corner to stand up for them.
Trial - Incubus IV
Ezra has to return to his biggest fear, his nightmare, the name he can’t speak out loud. It’s nerve-wracking to watch his pain and fear. We are witnesses of it all and it’s devastating. Being a prisoner for a decade was what Fabian the vampire told him, Fabian is a liar. He wants to keep Ezra forever as their sex demon. Deep down in a dark cell, Ezra has to go through the most vicious, demonic, rough painful time. Between the time he’s conscious and unconscious because of the violence, there is one tiny light.
Freedom - Incubus V
Wanted or needed that’s the point. Finn made Ezra feel wanted and needed, something completely different than all the vampires who only used and abused him. Even though Ezra is freed from his hell, he’s not free in his head. Still a prisoner of his past. Finn has to be inventive to help Ezra become the one he loved so much.
Revived - Incubus VI
The last one I skipped through sorry, I was still high from the previous story and this one was so different. Maybe I missed something important but it didn’t feel like I did.
An absolutely must-read for Incubus, vampire lovers. It’s at times dark and painful, distressful, and tormenting. I loved it al. But beware of it, it’s quite a lot to take. Not once repetitive, all quite creative. it was an incredible journey. Dark painful, but also light and playful humor and banter. The sexual activities are amazingly written! Finn is the one who is treasured and kept. He even gets a pack who chose to be with him. I can’t describe it all, it’s too big for words. Read it yourself!!
OMG so freaking awesome! Emma Jaye the Queen of Aganst does it again! She built an entire world out of nothing so intricate, I wonder if it really does exist. Ohh please let it exist. I want an Incubus of my very own. Ezra was just so amazingly hot. I want more of Ezra!
SEDUCTION: The first in the series, this book is the introduction of not only the characters but the needs of an incubus and the part played by a vascellum. We meet the main characters of Finn and Ezra as well as Pixie and Charlie who play important secondary roles. I was sucked into the storyline of this book almost from page one. The author does a good job of explaining the background and setting up the storyline for the events that shape the core of this series. The personalities of the characters were rich and detailed and the interactions clear making it easy to see the story play out.
POSSESSION: First let me state that this is the second book of the series and cannot be considered a standalone. At least to me. I think reading the first book is necessary to enjoying this one to its fullest. Now I find myself with mixed emotions about this book. But all of those are towards the way the story is playing out and not towards the author or the storyline in any way. In addition to the characters we meet in the first book, Milo, a shifter detective/bodyguard/muscle, joins the crew and begins to play a big part in Finn’s life. Ezra, the incubus sex demon, has recruited Finn to join his crew and while I was enamored with him in the first book, I find myself finding him quite distasteful in this. My final thoughts on this book/series is this: it is addictive, draws you in, and makes it very difficult to put down.
PAIN: Gah!!!!!!! These books are so not good for my sleep schedule. I’ve been sucked in and it’s so hard to put them down. My allegiance flip flops as I read each book and now knowing what I do, I would like to think I am firmly in Ezra’s court. The poor demon. To realize you are in love just to have it ripped away again. Even being a sex demon doesn’t stop the need or the want in his heart. Onto the fourth book in the series. Sleep is overrated right?
TRIAL: My heart cannot take this roller coaster of a ride the author has me on. First I love Ezra, then I cannot stand the demon, and now my heart breaks for what he has suffered. Knowing he has come out of it with the ability to still love Finn beautiful. I just cannot stop reading this series. This review is an honest and unbiased reflection of my thoughts after reading an advanced readers copy of the book.
FREEDOM: The 5th book of the series, I find myself at a loss as this is made to be the last in the series other than a prequel of sorts. I am so very happy they all found their HEA but it cannot be the end. The author did a wonderful job with the storyline, transitions between books, and consistency of the characters. The writing was richly detailed and progressed nicely as the story continued.
REVIVED: While this doesn’t seem to really fit at the end of the series, it is a nice extra bit of information that wraps up some unanswered questions from the series. This book also tops the rest in the number and description of sexy times. It’s a bit more graphic than the others. But I found it fit quite nicely with the rest in writing style, cohesion, and strength of the storyline.
OVERALL: This is most definitely an addicting series that I suggest you only dive into if you have the time to read them all. You cannot stop once you begin. The author leaves each book with such a cliffhanger that it’s almost impossible to put it down. The writing was well done; the characters were consistent in description, personality, and conflict; the storyline progressed in an organized manner with the exception of the sixth book which I believe is meant to be somewhat of a prequel. I’m not one that usually picks up box sets unless I am already a fan of the series or the author but I took a chance and I am so glad I did. I look forward to reading more from this author. This review is an honest and unbiased reflection of my thoughts after reading an advanced readers copy of the book.
I've spent 3 days with Ezra, Finn and Silas, and when it ended I was sad, because I didn't want to leave this world. I wanted more days with Ezra. Or just to be able to hug him and protect him from Emma LOL
At the beginning I thought Ezra is an asshole, and Finn is the cutes creature ever who needs protection. Then Finn, the virgin met Ezra, the big bad wolf aka the incubus who feeds on sex. I loved Finn and still thought he needs protection from Ezra, but I couldn't wait to see how they relationship evolves. And as the story went I fell more and more in love with Ezra. Yes, he was still an asshole sometimes, but I got to see the why behind his actions.
I loved how fast and strong their relationship was, and the whole Vascellum thing was really interesting. Finn was an amazing vascellum, you wouldn't believe he was a virgin a few days ago, he was such a horny hotness. And Ezra, awww! Loved them together. Milo and his cousins were a great addition to Ezra and Finn and this little pack just so cute.
Those scenes when we got to see Ezra's past with Fabio was so heartbreaking, so full with emotions. And finally we got to met Silas too. Silas was the best thing that could happen with Ezra at the time, and I was so glad that he was there for him. Loved Silas and Ezra's relationship, and I can't wait to see them 'real time' being happy again.
The memory loss at Ezra's side was an unexpected plot twist for me, but it was so well written. All the emotions were awesome, I felt all of them and I hurt for them. And loved that Silas was there for Ezra again. Avery is a mystery for me, I can't decied he is good or bad, but I think it comes with being an incubus. But Avery-Ezra-Finn scene was really top hotness!
Finn and his gift as a vascellum was a suprise, and I love jealous Finn.
It was a really emotional journey, the good, the bad, the romance, the erotica, the darkness, all the things.
And loved Ezra&Pixie 's story too, it was more then good to see Ezra after leaving Fabio.
Loved readig this series and I LOVE Ezra. Can't wait to read more.
This series is a roller coaster ride of a series. I love the way you slowly learn more about the characters and their backgrounds as they go through various adventures. At times extremely dark it also affirms the healing power of love. If you like dark m/m stories then you will enjoy this.
I binge read all six books in a week. This series is absolutely fantastic and I’m obsessed! Each character is unique and interesting, they’re all deep and complex and I couldn’t pick a favorite (but I do have a crush on Pixie ). With each book I found out more about the world and magic system and got to know the characters and their motives better. There wasn’t a boring moment. I cried and I laughed and I fell in love with this story. I honestly had the best reading week. I highly highly recommend this series!!
Emma Jaye is an architect. She managed to built a world and subworlds, a story and substories, side characters becoming main characters and tell the same story from different perspective without ever getting confusing nor boring. This series is like a detailed structure built in front of your eyes. I'm impressed.
I read and voluntarily reviewed an arc of this story. In this box set. Ezra captures Finn’s attention and realizes he can use him for so much more. I started reading and couldn’t put it down. The sex is smoking hot and the details even hotter.
This is a great deal all six books in one boxset. These stories are all good full of action adventure and romance. With interesting and lovable characters. Loved all the stories in this boxset and hope there are more to come.
Five stars for a well thought out and written series. Finn is adorable and Ezra is devishly addictive, together they'll have you laughing and crying at the love and care they have for each other. Disclaimer: Strong emotions will be brought forth while reading!
This series is absolutely fantastic!! Ezra is literally the most sexiest incubus! Emma Jaye's writing style never fails to amaze me. Her characters are so likeable, addictive and well fleshed out. This series has given be a book hangover. Vascellum can't come soon enough!!
The character development, world building, angst, overall storyline and the amazing storytelling would not let me put this book down. I loved it! You really grow to love Finn at first then Ezra even more and literally every new character introduced has a background and a purpose. You really feel for Ezra, the pain he went through and the fact that everyone saw it. This book is exactly what I look for, angst with an audience, it was perfect.
There's a good amount of backstory and action. It's nice to see Ezra's traumatic past. The books themselves were a quick read so it was nice to have them all, together.
wow.. this totally sucked me in and made me need to know what was happening next.. it was amazing. it was sexy.. it was action packed and curious.. it was wow! and written beautifully and in some spots it was dark and i loved it haha
This was an amazing series. Even though there was 6 books in this set they each flowed from one to the other. I loved how one of the book goes back and tells how Ezra met Pixie and how they became friends. It was so well written that the books just flowed. I really hope to see more in this series.
Epic. Cool world-building, very unique. Info-dumpy at times, but its complex and I guess we just want to get to the sex parts. Mostly with Finn/Ezra, but the reader jumps around briefly with a few different characters during the series. Not a dog person but Milo was my favorite anyway. I enjoyed the grey morality, there are no good guys or bad guys. Every time I think, "there's no way they'll redeem this character," they do, what a wonderfully murky world of morality and monsters, with varying levels of conflict and symbiosis. First 5 books are the story, the last book is like a prologue. Kind of frequent errors are slightly distracting, I found 19, lucky the story is so captivating.
I think this is a phenomenal series overall. It started out a bit slow for me, probably a four-star read for the first two books, seeming focused more on the sex play and overriding Finn's human aversions. I wasn't a fan of Ezra, and felt he was just using Finn. But by the third book...Wow! The author really ramped up the emotional angst and energy. The characters got more in-depth and developed, and I understood why Ezra acted and felt as he did. Ms. Jaye really advanced and developed her characters in a slow and wonderful way. It was painful and tortured, but sexy and hot as h*ll. Books 1-5 tell the story of Finn and Ezra's relationship. while Book 6 tells the story of what happened to Ezra after he escaped the vampires and how he met Pixie. I highly recommend this bundle if you like the playfulness of a seduction, along with some dark, twisted scenes, and don't mind a little dubcon/noncon. If you are interested in more details on the individual books, I will be posting reviews on each one, so look there.
I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving this honest review.
I rarely decide to read a whole box set because it's a bit of a gamble if the author is new to you but I'm so glad I gave this one a shot. If I didn't I would be missing a a fantastic read, really hard to put down. I didn't have the time to read it in one sitting, but the story stayed in my head at all times and I couldn't wait to pick it up again. It's a roller-coaster of mixed emotions, angst, heat, humor and sometimes questionable actions especially on Ezras' part. His background is slowly revealed through the series and it explains a lot. The whole series is written in different pows, including some of the supporting characters which are intriguing and very well fleshed out. Each book ends up with a cliffhanger that will just leave you wanting for more so I suggest that you pick up the box set. Book 6 somehow stands out - it feels more like a prequel to something new. You definitely need to read book 7, Vascellum revenge because the story continues.
I loved that all 6 books came together in this set, so I could just binge them all. This series was amazing, and sucked me right in.... So many interesting characters and an unique, continuous storyline. Definitely recommended for fans of supernatural stories.
6 books with the lives of Ezra and Finn entwined. Ezra is the youngest incubus, he came to his life through violence and abuse. I liked him from the start, conniving and not very morally inclined he found his vascellum, a rare occurrence for sex demons. Finn started as young and pretty innocent with a roommate named Pixie and an arsehole of a boyfriend named Charlie. Their lives become more and more involved. The world building in the stories is enthralling. I didn’t want to stop reading, as I went book by book. So much goes on, how Ezra suffered made me angry but he gets his justice done and Finn so young and naive but utterly brave always by Ezra’s side. Plus all the characters that enrich the storyline, shifters, Milo, Pixie, Avery, Silas, Fabian, Jericho all good and bad and spicy. There are so many steamy scenes which blew my mind and a strong background on their lives and experiences. It’s a long journey and I can’t wait to read book 7.
Ezra is forcibly turned into an incubus and is imprisoned and forced to be a plaything for the vampires and my heart broke for his ordeal. After a miraculous and turbulent escape he sets up himself as a businessman and survives but when he acquired Finn things take a turn for the extreme but in the best of ways. I devoured this series and need more, like Ezra needs sexual energy to survive i need more Finn and Ezra stories. This world pulls you in and doesn't want to let go, I think I found my new favourite series. Ezra has found a family of misfits but he makes them his own.
I love Emma's words and I'm so glad I grabbed the Box set it was an epic binge reading sesh.. Once you start the journey it's impossible to stop..I immersed myself in this book world and didn't leave till I finished every page..Great characters and a great story.
Why I've waited sooo long to read this..I have no idea!! This author has a way with words, that keeps the reader on their toes! For Ezra, it's strictly business, so no need for those pesky feelings. Finn, yeah, he really never stood a chance, now did he?
"You're right, I don't. I select my people with great care, and you, Finn, are something special."
Can't wait to read the next book, and see what's next!
Incubus Possession 2
Continues right were we left off in book one, Incubus Seduction.
"Finn Barrett is mine, whether he realizes it or not. The fact that he's playing hard to get makes life a little more interesting, don't you think?"
How selfish is Ezra? And with the bond, does he get feelings for Finn? He's a soulless demon...will the bond change him, somehow? Oh, I need to read more!!
"Let go of those old-fashioned human morals. You're not one of the sheep anymore. You're different from them, better than them."
My heart is breaking with that ending!
Incubus Pain 3
These poor boys...there's like a never-ending drama! And one secret revealed after the other... and then some twist and turns thrown into it all?!? My oh, my!
"Softness led to pain. Only the tough survived in this dog eat dog world."
Ezra's story nearly chattered my heart. He's not as skin deep as he appeared in the two first books, which makes him all the more perfect!
"Somebody wanted him, for himself, rather than what he could do for them."
Pixie..yeah she redeemed herself in the end of this book! Yeah, I didn't care for how the people in power just assumed this and that happened, without hearing from Ezra and Finn, first.
Incubus Trial 4
Wondering how Ezra got to know Silas and his "father" ? And what happened when they had Ezra chained up? Read Trial, and get all the answers!
"This is what being an incubus is. I'm a demon, a God forsaken, da**ed for all time, demon."
My heart broke for the poor boy, being forced to all that...no wonder he's so messed up.
Incubus Freedom 5
The first few books, felt a bit shallow. But then it picked up...big time!
"Manipulate, wait, and don't trust, had been his most effective strategy to avoid pain. He didn't see a reason to change it."
The aftermath after a walk down memory lane gone wrong... Yet again, poor boys!
"...the different supernatural species don't trust each other. The way you've drawn diverse demons, shifters and a fan together in a common cause is unprecedented."
This author knows how to squeeze on the right heartstring, push on the right button and make you feel it all and then some.
"Finn's voice threatened heartache for them both and promised a life Ezra didn't dare hope for; the life everyone had been telling him was possible. The life he had so far denied. Could it happen?"
Incubus Revived 6
Revived is about the time after the vampires, and how he met Pixie. It was great to read from her POV. How a fae's mind work.
"He wasn't sure if he believed her, but the thought of having someone around that he couldn't influence, who wanted something other than s** from him, a potential platonic friend, sent a surge of yearning through him."
The bathhouse and the figging was fun to read.
"Ezra drew in a shuddering breath, wondering for the first time if he could handle all this food."
