Sing Me to Sleep by R.M. Virtues
4.0
I will burn this entire world and the next to the ground before I let anyone hurt you again.
This trope is so unique. Getting cozy with your paralysis demon? Yeah, not something I've ever read before. Now make that said demon hot af and a dirty-talker!
I can't consider this as a stand-alone. It was clearly meant to set the foundations of the series. I was so intrigued about the world building and the depiction of Heaven, Hell and Earth as well as the creatures inhabiting it. It feels like the author has developed a complex lore, some of it relating to the interpretation of good and bad.
Of course, I was confused at times with names and the functioning of each group and all the bombardment of information that didn't entirely connect with our couple's story, which at times seemed forced to the background.
The mcs were quite interesting and had this ricocheted chemistry between them. Their feelings though were a bit rushed and they went from zero to fully bloomed. I was surprised by the spice and the con/non-con side of it. The spice was so, so good but it was also the major part of their relationship. They only had s*x and the boom in love. I can't deny though that the mcs grew on me and the rest of their story was lovely.
All in all, I really enjoyed this novella, its uniqueness, the lore and my new favorite demon, Acheron. Also, that book cover is gorgeous.
Did I like it? Yes.
Would I reread it? Yes
