Darkest Flames #1.5

Demon Stalked

Katrina tried to reject us.

But are we going to let our mate tell us to take a hike?

Hell no.

We're going to woo the shit out of this human girl, get her to go to this winter dance, and make all of her dreams come true.

Because that's what demons do...right?

This is 1.5 of the Darkest Flames series. It should be read after Demon Kissed and before Demon Loved. This continues a reverse harem romance, strong language, and sexual situations.

88 pages, Kindle Edition

Usually I'm not that into novellas. As in, I'm usually not enjoying them as much as I enjoy the main books in a series. Novellas are fun, but they rarely add something to the story. Mostly a series is perfectly fine without its novellas. However, I also didn't want to NOT read it. I mean, what if they were talking about it in the next book and I would feel like missing out?

Do I think this novel really adds something to the bigger storyline and readers who haven't read it have missed some very important and vital information? No. The plot, apart from the fact that the guys are attempting to get their girl back and the girl is attempting to stay away from them, is not really moving much. They end the story where they began.

Do I think this novel is incredibly amusing and entertaining and does showcase a little more of the five demons and the different ways they approach and deal with life? Yes. I loved how they all had their own way to woo their girl, to convince her that she should come back, that they love her. I think it said everything about who they are I wanted and needed to know.

Do I think that the heroine in this story deserved this moment of happiness, of life being well and of feeling happy, even though we all know that it won't last long? Yes again. So much happened in the previous book and there was so much pain involved. All these characters deserved time to breath, to just enjoy each other, to just do what normal people do when they're in love.

And now I can't wait to see what the next book will bring!

Nice Transition

So in this novella, the demons are trying to convince Katrina to be with them. Except for Kastros who wanted her to stay away for her own good. That backfires on him, though. Things aren't completely settled by the end, but the guys are definitely wearing Katrina down. This was a sexy novella, but cute and sweet, too.

Loved the "Wooing"

Akor is seriously hilarious and all the thung he does. Just a great novella about how the demons plan on wooing Katrina back to them. Loved it!!

So um, read this right after the first book and I guess I just don't really get why this was a novella type? Adding this in definitely allowed Book 2 to have a good starting point, but I don't understand why this wasn't just worked into the second book. Having it separate just seems a bit unnecessary.

Why did you read this book?
I’ve been waiting for some of the RH series I’ve been watching to finish so I could read them in one go. This series was one of them.

What format did you read this book in?
Read it as an ebook on Kindle.

Is this an educational book or a book for entertainment?
I read this book for pure entertainment purposes.

What genres do you think this book belongs to?
Chick Lit, Contemporary, Fantasy, Horror, Humor and Comedy, Paranormal, Romance, Young Adult

What was your favorite part in the book? SPOILERS
My favorite part is when Akor buys all of the pets at the pet store then put pink bows on them. They guys are all like “we can’t take care of them” but are instantly petting and falling love with them. Too cute.

Who would you suggest this book to?
Anyone who like dark humor, demons, a mental strong heroine, and large RH.

What is your general opinion/ rating of this book?
I enjoyed this short, but I felt like it could have been tacked on to the end of book one or the beginning of book two. It was sweet to see how each guy try to win the MC over (or in Kastros scare her away). I think my two favorites were Akor and Van’s attempts. (I wish William would go away.) Looking forward to the next book.

Are there any cliché scenes or concepts? (If yes, does the author add something unique to them?) SPOILERS
The MC is the demons fated mate. The authors add a unique spin by making the fated mate thing a curse that causes the demons to become weak. Most demons kill their “Center” before they get attached.

How intense are the intimacy scenes?
There is one intimacy scene where the main character receives oral sex.

At what “burn” level is the romance?
Slow to medium.

Love interests, how many of them are there and what gender? SPOILERS
There are 5 love interests, all of them males.
Akor- Demon of pain. (A bit crazy.)
Van- Demon of lust. (A romantic at heart.) Pretends to be her school counselor.
Zolroth- Materialism Demon. Pretends to be a student and her boyfriend.
Raz- Leader of the Demons. Pretends to be her gym teacher.
Kastros- Vengeance Demon. Mute. Pretends to be her decathlon teacher.

Any trigger warnings?
Mental Health: Trivializing Mental Illness, Romanticized Mental Illness, Panic Attacks
Sexual Content: Explicit Oral Sex Scene
Violence and Death: Death, Burning People, Extreme Violence, Gore, Torture, Described Blood, Graphic Violence
Other: Kidnapping(?), Profanity

This one's okay

Nice little novala, I uh, I don't see why it couldn't be put into book 2, but maybe the author had a timing or word issue, but it was okay. I mean, yeah, it kind of gets you past all the will. She won't she parts which I'm glad of I don't really like that. I like it better once they all come together. And That's right for the common goal, so to speak so but it does, you know, it gives you pieces of you know, the will she won't you and you? So that's pretty good. I like the way the demons are conversing. I wish you'd get on board already. So hopefully in book three or book two, she gets on board, so yeah, this one was okay

Something about this story

Has me hooked and I'm not even sure what I love lost. Katrina is a little badass in the making and I love watching her come into her own. Her parents legit are the worst(in a neglectful way), the guy she was crushing on is a total lame, but thank God for the mmc's. I usually prefer not to be strung along for 3 books(lady blue balls suck) but I'm truly enjoying the ride and the build up here. Can't wait for the next book because I think I have some things figured out but I know I'm probably wrong lol

I listened to this as part of the book 2 audiobook (they were combined, which I greatly appreciated). I did enjoy this POV novella, it helped paint the picture better and helped us get to know the demons better. Definitely some good laughs and should be read/listened to in between books 1 and 2. Narration was good too like the others, the different personalities of the demons really shone through in this novella, 4/5 star rating from me!

This book was so funny. I love how they all tried to woo her in different ways. I was laughing when Akor bought 13 cats and dogs. It was so cute how Van got Adam and his preschool to help him. Zoloroth did what he does best. Raz is intense and funny. It’s funny how Kastros took her to hell so she wouldn’t want to be with them only for her to thank him. He realized quick that it was useless trying to push her away.

cute

It was a good novella. This series seems to not be as steamy as some of her other ones. I’m a little sad about that, and the FMC, to me, is more immature than some of her others as well. With that being said I’m still interested and will be finishing the series (: if you want an easy read, don’t mind a slow build up to steam, and are okay with an immature FMC this is for you.

That was fun. A good, worthy read to spend an hour or two on. Nothing too serious, mainly jokes.

Brilliant short read. Great addition to the series.
Katrina is doing all she can to stay away from the demons who have stolen her heart. Her crush william just doesn't seem to be doing it for her no more, but she cant have the ones she truly wants.
she has some hard decisions to make.
brilliant read.

This is such a cute little interlude between the first two books in the series. It's especially important because the first book is almost entirely written from Katrina's perspective, so the novella gives the reader a chance to learn how the guys feel about her. It also has the added benefit of making the will-they-won't-they get back together not the main focus of the second book.

This was

This was such a short sweet read, I do think although it's selfless and for the "greater" good she's not the brightest bulb, I mean 5 hot as sin demons and she's running away instead of running towards, who does that?!?! I'm jelly and hope they get together soon

Excellent!

This is book 1.5 of this series and You need to read book 1 first. This book is told from the demons' point of view and Katrina as well. They are trying to woo her and win her back after she left them. I found myself smiling like an idiot while I read this book.

Short but worth it

I wish this was included in the first book because it ties up some loose ends. I feel that the novella provides important plot points, in order to read book 2. Definitely worth the read.

A sweet novella

This novella was perfect. The guys amp up the romance to try and win Katrina over. Katrina wants hormone than to protect her demons but is unable to resist. Can't wait for the nextbook

If it fits it sits

Omg!! Winning her back, yes! Going all out in their own ways. Weaving their way back into her good grace to put everything on the line. Can she keep them? Who the frickety frack is is the loser in the clouds? He needs to be dealt with.

Quick Novella

This is a quick read. Katrina walked away from her demons and they had no intention of letting her go, so they woo’d her to the best of their demon abilities lol I freaking LOVE Akor he is insane 🤣

Katie and her five handsome demons are having trouble. She is the cause of the trouble as she is their Centre, the only person in existence who is their soulmate. And the person who can cause them to be killed. Oh boy. What a series and I can't wait to get stuck into the next one.
