I don't know why I expected this book to wine and dine me first before having the main characters do the literal devil's tango within the first few chapters of the book but here we are. If you're just interested in black pepper level spice scenes with only enough plot to string it together then this is the book for you otherwise stay away.

I ended up liking this more than I thought I would - I wasn’t sure how the plot was going to play out but was suprisingly fleshed out considering how short this is and how much of it is just smut lol - but ya great 👀 and overall enjoyed it

One of the more fun and creative monster fucker books I've read. The story probably could have used one more round of editing though, just a few obvious typos and incorrect character names.
Acheron is a fascinating monster. The entire form of his body is malleable and he can change sizes and shapes on a whim.
I was a bit apprehensive of the whole sleep paralysis aspect of the book, but once I saw that being used as a kind of safe word for Penelope I was on board. The whole sleep demon system and Acheron being able to read her mind and limitations created a really nice sense of security. The creativity of this setup was fantastic and I loved that Penelope was able to have so much fun.
If the author chooses to make this into a series I would be delighted to read the rest of them. The side characters introduced in this book all have enough personality to welcome additional books.
