Long and Short of It Reviews
This intense and sharp page-turner delves into the dark truths surrounding Eva Jackson, a demon set to receive the consequences for her past transgressions for toying with Liliana, who happens to be human. Eva is found guilty and her fate is to lose her powers and to live as a human until she has shown herself worthy enough to have her powers back. During this time, Eva is under the watchful eye of her demon lover Clay Quinones. Eva is in denial of the feelings and attraction between them. Even though Clay can get Eva wet between the thighs, she refuses to give her heart to Clay. When handsome, tanned, and ‘a voice as smooth as butter’ Oz O’Dea approaches her, she finds herself easily drawn to him. Is Oz too good to be true? Is he who he say he is? Will Eva’s involvement with Oz bring about danger to herself and others? Demon Tempted is a convincing, uncanny world of humans, demons and the co-existing of both. It also has a cast of characters so compelling, I found myself even liking the bad guy. The author made his physical traits and mannerisms so captivating, as to have even me falling for him. Even the other demons were willing to throw themselves at his feet to satisfy him. Nikki Prince’s sex scenes have a satisfying sensational climax to them. During the scenes between Eva and Clay you can feel the attraction and pull between the two. The sex scenes brought about a balance in the book. The scenes weren’t too much or too often. There is a male on male oral scene that helped build and show the dominance of one of the demons. Nikki Prince is a skillful storyteller in this spectacular mythical novel that takes you to another realm. I was so drawn into the novel that I will definitely go back to read the first book in the Karmic Lust series. I found it a little hard to follow when each character had nicknames or ‘name of old’. This book can be read as a standalone but I am sure it would be best if you read Demon Mine first. That way you as the reader will know the characters in the story, how they interact with each other, and the relationship between Liliana and Eva and why Eva is being punished. Demon Tempted has opened up a new side of paranormal for me. I suggest you grab the series and see where it takes your imagination.
