Creatures of all kinds go to the Barista to find love, including the devilishly sexy incubus known as Dante.
Dante wants to find his soul mate— someone that won’t scream when they see his horns, his tail, and his…other thing. Thousands of years of seduction and power, and he still can’t fill the hole in his heart.
When the Barista sets Dante up with a human named Peter, he realizes that he’s never wanted anyone else more. Peter is resistant though, especially when it comes to the L word.
Dante has his work cut out for him if he’s going to finally get his own little slice of hell.
This novella has the following:
Hot MONSTER Scenes Special package…. Fated Mates Love BDSM Sword Crossing And more ;)
The Creature Cafe Series follows the Barista and who he matchmakes. Each book will have a different monster finding their true love, tons of spicy scenes, and special *ahem* appendages. Follow Clio Evans on Instagram, Facebook, or Tiktok to stay up to date on monster related shenanigans
listen. i almost didn't rate these on goodreads because i was content to let the fact go to the grave with me that i did indeed read the first four books (eh, novellas) of this series all in one night.
when i say i want depraved amounts of smut in a book, this is what i'm talking about!!! quick pacing and a sprinkling of plot, but the rest is pure sex. each novella reads swiftly with enough set-up to get your oriented with the world, but the rest is history. each book has a different pairing, both with gender and magical creatures, as well as a new set of kinks and preferences. in a ten book series, i think you'd find something you like. unless you skip sex scenes in books, in which case, move along lol.
if you're into kathryn moon but want something shorter and more porn than plot, i'd recommend these. [tiktok voice] it's like a reward.
TWs: bondage, tail fucking, consensual non consensual scenes, public sex, mentions of rape and assault, and more. tail fucking? yesssss, exactly what I need … Those were my thoughts last night when I went to bed, because I wanted something that would give me a nice night and hopefully turn my head off. Mission accomplished!
“I want you to cum inside your pants while I fuck your ass with my tail. And then I’m going to take you home, clean you up, and fuck you again. Do you understand?”🤤🤤🤤
My balls should have been empty, but on his next thrust—I came again, spurting all over the blankets beneath us. “You little slut,” he hissed, pulling me back. He pulled my body, and then his tail shoved my face into the cum on the blankets. “Lick it up,” he demanded. “Clean my fucking blanket, pet.”🤤🤤🤤
A few more details about the setting would have been nice and it's way too rushed towards the end, but since I just wanted to read smut anyway, it was perfect for this.
“The truth was— even monsters needed love. Even the slimy, demented, horned ones. Even the psychopathic, tentacled, hellish ones.”
After this quote I knew I was in for the long haul! I literally couldn’t put this book down! I love books that take me out of my comfort zone and show me things I didn’t think I’d like!! Dante & Peter were pure fire! An incubus and a human—who knew!!?
“I’ve been searching for you for thousands of years. For my soul mate. The Barista brought you to me, and now you will never escape. I wasn’t lying when I told you that for eternity, I would be the only one to catch you if you fall. Not even God will touch you, Peter. You. Are. Mine.”
“My own piece of heaven, my own little slice of hell.”
✦ ew - very ott, zero relationship development, instalove, very simplistic writing. ✦ yum (?) - tail fucking, cnc, incubus/human, bondage, edging, blood play, piercing during sex.
BUT! I will say that I loved the whole barista part of it. I wanted to love it but it was just,.... not for me. I like a good dark romance. But this wasn’t for me.
Something that could help it, in my eyes was a proofreader. Some easy to correct mistakes to make it read and flow better.
Otherwise, yeah,... just wasn’t for me.
Will I read another? Maybe. Because as I said, I love the barista part of it all. And I really wanted to enjoy the book. Oh well, you can’t love them all.
This book was recommended to me because monsters, sex and BDSM, which is my gravitational pull when it comes to erotica.
On one hand, I can understand what the author was trying to do, but on the other hand, I think it was executed badly. This book was hyped up to me, which put my expectations on high.
I was expecting intense, descriptive monster fucking, and what I really got was rushed, almost bland sex, yes, I’m using bland because I felt no spice while reading. I don’t want to use the word boring, because it wasn’t boring, but it’s the only word I can think of that can explain my feelings for this. I did not like it.
Props to the author though for writing something different, and for trying to give us freaks some content to quench our thirst.
What a naughty monster filled delightful little read! I wish it had been longer! Other than a few plot holes, I absolutely devoured this in one sitting. Definitely ticked all of my filthy monster boxes. Can’t wait for more!
Nothing much here. Instalove through and through. More fated mates, I guess? Especially for the incubus side of things. There really isn't much plot. And I didn't much care for how the vampire part was done. For multiple reasons.
Had some hot scenes though. Really appreciated the aftercare of such scenes as well. Easy, quick read. Probably pick up others. Really liked the Barista hit.
I loved the idea for LITTLE SLICE OF HELL with the mysterious Barista matchmaking monsters with humans but the execution wasn't the best. This is a novella so everything moves really quick and feelings emerge fast but that didn't really bother me. It was more the interactions between Peter and Dante just felt a little off and Dante was slipping over my tolerance line for over the top alpha, possessive characters. Additionally, where was the lube?? I don't usually comment on the mechanics of the sex itself but seriously, they never used lube and I'm supposed to believe Peter, a human, enjoyed Dante's monster (both in type and size) appendages without any issues?
If you are considering reading this, please check for content and trigger warnings before you start. Even for a novella, things went way too far way too fast. If you’ve ever found yourself in a situation similar to the ones here, please take a moment and consider if you truly want to read this. It made me both uneasy and unsafe and I should have stopped reading after the second chapter.
CW: CNC, BDSM (heavy on the SM), past SA, violence, unsafe practices, blood play. Other warnings: instalove, fated mates makes everything unsafe “ok”.
Dante is a incubus who is looking for his other half so he meets with the monster who knows how to find it Barista and he now has a date with his soul mate.
Peter was looking also but his past was pretty sad he hsd some trauma. When he met with Dante there was a connection they were met to be Dante wanted forever and well it took Peter a moment because of his past. And it was catching up with them fast. But that didn't stop Dante from making Peter his.
The spicy was hotttt. Like spicy good. I love these two together and I might keep with the series just spaced out.

This is the first book in the Creature Cafe series and features Dante and Peter. Dante goes to the Creature Cafe to meet with the Barista. He specializes in locating and matching monsters to their mates. Dante is an incubus demon and has specific tastes and kinks and he is hoping that the Barista will be able to find the other half of his soul because he is tired of searching after thousands of years.
The Barista sets Dante up with Peter who knows about monsters and has his own tragic past involving a monster. The two of them are incendiary together but while Dante wants eternity, Peter isn't so sure. When Peter's dangerous past catches up with him will Dante be able to save him and show him that eternity is worth fighting for?
I'm amazed that this short little novella felt like a full length novel. It was action packed, suspenseful and steamy as hell. I'll be honest...some of the steam in here went a little far for me in terms of what I find sexy but sometimes ya gotta step outside your comfort zone. If you like MM monster romances with some definite boundary pushing, then I recommend this!
I’m intrigued by this world and am already crushing on the Barista. Dante and Peter were cute couple, and I’m 100% on board for a 13 inch 🍆 with ridges ON TOP of a tail with ridges too!
Overall: 3.5 rounded to ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Plot/Storyline: 📖📖📖 Feels: 🦋🦋🦋 Emotional Depth: 💔💔💔 Sexual Tension: ⚡⚡ Romance: 💞💞💞 Sensuality: 💋💋💋 Sex Scene Length: 🍑🍑🍑🍑🍑 Steam Scale (Number of Sex Scenes): 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Humor: A bit Perspective: First person from both hero’s perspectives
(These are all personal preference on a scale of 1-5 (yours ratings may vary depending what gives you feels and how you prefer you sex scenes written, etc) except the Steam Scale which follows our chart from A Love Less Ordinary )
“Peter,” I growled. “Answer me now. This is the cliff, and once you fall – I will forever be the only one that can catch you.” “Yes. I’m sure. I want this, even if it’s insane.”
Basic plot: Peter is ready for a relationship and goes to the barista for a mate.
Give this a try if you want: - Monster romance - Incubus/demon hero and human hero (MM pairing) - High steam – 5 full scenes that are pretty long in a short page count - Instalove - some kink (bondage, choking)
Ages: - Peter is 27, Dante is 10,000 years old… (Do I count this as age gap??)
My thoughts: I enjoyed this concept of a cupid barista and a creature cafe! The first pairing is a human and incubus demon. Definitely instalove with lots of detailed bedroom scenes. The plot lightly touches on Peter overcoming some of his past trauma and allowing himself to be loved again and opening himself to a trusting relationship.
The kink is a little bit much for me but I think it was my first read with choking and I will try anything at least once, haha. There’s a lot of sex in this book and it’s pretty short so the character depth isn’t super strong, but it’s enough to hold the story together. I think if you’re in the mood for a steamy monster read and you like some kink play you should give this one a go!
Overall I liked the writing, and will definitely be trying more from this series.
This was a fun erotica short (so don’t expect much plot). The premise was interesting and I’d definitely be willing to check out the next entries even though I wasn’t quite blown away by this one— the writing could’ve used some tightening up.
The spice was well written but some parts of it felt a little drawn out. Giving it 🌶️🌶️🌶️/5.
Also, the MCs fell in love within 24hrs? Okay I guess…
Expect - Public sex - Possessive, protective MC - Instalove - Incubus MC - Allusion to mpreg (nothing on-page)
First I was sold because of the tail … but where was the lube? The prep? Anything?? When you sleep with a monster who is big beyond imagination and has ridges…I think there’s no way that Peter a human would actually enjoy this😀 Also Dante really annoyed me like I felt he was constantly screaming at me💀 all in all it felt off …not sure if I will give the other books if this series a try
it came in the right moment cause i was needing one of those.
we have an incubus and a man with an amazing plot (i was shocked cause i thought it was gonna be just sex). well, it wasn't. (it has a lot of sex but there is a huge character development!)
Holy Shit what did I stumble across? It’s no secret MM monster/human romances fascinate me. Lily Mayne’s Monstrous Series is my favorite and not just for the romance but the hot AF sex scenes with all the various appendages each monster has. But this book took the monster kinky sex theme and turned it on its head.
This series is about a Barista who has a talent of finding the perfect mates for monsters. This time an incubus named Dante was looking for his fated mate who happened to be a man named Peter. After their first date, Dante takes Peter to the park where he promptly fucks him with his tail and whisks him away to his mansion to do more kinky things.
Surprisingly, this book although short had more than just sex and I liked it a lot more than I thought I would. I couldn’t not pick this up like my curiosity wouldn’t let me walk on by but I am so glad because this was really good. The only negative for me was this got a bit cheesy with the instalove but they are fated mates… My favorite character was actually Ghost though. Adorable.
This has trigger warnings galore but if you like kink, monsters and want a quick read, I’d recommend this. This series looks like it won’t just be MM much to my disappointment but I’m probably going to read it anyways. Curious mind and all 😂
I saw the author on TikTok and decided to buy the book. I'm a sucker for monster/human relationships & erotica(or just monsters, aliens, supernatural creatures in general).
The beginning was so promising but at page 30-40 it went downhill...FAST. Didn't like it at all and thought about just quitting it then and there.
This whole, we are in love with no real reason and especially, the whole r*pe beackstory from Peter made me like "???". Also, the writing style went downhill... equally FAST.
