Base Instincts (Larissa Ione)
SUMMARY
As a Seminus demon, Raze’s life literally depends on having sex with females. The problem is that he doesn’t desire females, and it’s physically impossible for him to be with males. Thankfully, he and his best friend, Fayle, have an arrangement that keeps him alive . . . if lonely. He finds some solace in his work as a medic at Thirst, a vampire club known for its rough clientele. But his carefully structured world turns upside down when he meets a mysterious male who makes him want what he can never have.
Slake is an assassin used to getting what he wants, and what he wants is Raze. But he also wants to earn back the soul he sold when he was a much different demon. All he has to do is capture a runaway succubus named Fayle and hand her over to her family. What he doesn’t count on is being caught himself by a web of lies—and his attraction to Raze.
Raze and Slake must navigate a dangerous world to be together. But as Fayle’s jealousy of their relationship turns deadly, they find themselves embroiled in a battle not only for their love, but their lives and souls.
MY REVIEW
Right… so this is the first MM story in the Demonica world.
Raze is a Seminus demon, i.e. he needs sex constantly to survive and in particular sex with females (humans or demons it does not matter). The key word here is “females”, because Raze is a strange unique Seminus demon and for some strange reason he prefers males.
The problem is that he cannot survive if there is not a female in the equation.
Fayle is his best friend and a succubus demon. She is the one that helps him out every time he is on the verge of dying. But Raze does not really know what exactly Fayle is and how much he depends on her.
Slake is a cold-blooded killer (of unknown species) that he was hired to find Fayle and bring her back to her family. He also needs his soul back because he stupidly has given it away a long time ago. When he finds Fayle, he realizes that he is attracted to her best friend i.e. Raze.
By the end of the book:
• Fayle will prove to be a bitch
• Slake and Raze will be in love
• Slake will reveal what kind of demon he is and what this means
• A vampire ex lover will appear
• Eidolon will be ecstatic with the very first gay Seminus demon
• Revenant will save the day
Overall it is an excellent book. It is nice revisiting the Underworld General Clinic, meeting old friends such as Eidolon and Revenant and reading another one-of-a-kind love-story with demons.
