BLURB:
Sucking souls is hell on the love life.
The last thing I needed in the middle of a job was to get caught in my full demonic form by a puny human named Darren.
I know I have to do the right thing—as much as it pains me—and put him on lockdown for his own protection. Now if he would just stop talking…
Henchman’s Mate is a 46K novel full of witty banter, an obsession with cleanliness, and an epic showdown for best demon.
REVIEW:
Darren is hot but annoying, he tells himself. He always has a million questions and he’s clingy and needy (his ex’s words, the clingy needy part, not the questions because that’s a fact dang he has a lot).
He’s twenty-six and lives at home with his feisty loving mom, who the best!
Drinking at a bar Darren sees the most beautiful and dangerous-looking guy step in. Darren tries to have a conversation with him but he gets ignored by the big guy. Nothing new here, his self-esteem is already below zero, just when he walks away the guy grabs his wrist and talks to him.
Even though Darren is quite annoying with Darren’s incessant chatter and millions of questions, Cyrus sees also the gentle side of him and the wounded.
Why does he want to protect him? ugh!
Darren is witnessing Cyrus doing his ‘job’ as ‘judge, juror, and executioner’ in the alley and now Cyrus has to keep him safe and protect him against… you’ll understand read it yourself 🙂
Darren can’t leave his side and ha! He doesn’t want to, he’s smitten by Cyrus.
“A storm was coming, but it wasn’t weather-related.”
With the approach of danger Cyrus and Darren retreat to Darren’s home and mother.
I laughed, I snorted, I spilled coffee, it was all so extremely funny. It’s a sort of a dark story but it isn’t at all. It’s feisty and witty, you got to love the little human and his endearing demon.
It’s an awesomely written story, entertaining, engaging and thrilling at the same time.
The realms are creative just like the plot, I loved the story and characters (except one of course) Both Darren and Cyrus are so lovable, let’s not forget to mention Darren’s mom ha!
It was an extremely enjoyable narrative!
All’s well that ends well… I didn’t expect anything else, duh!
