INCLUDES BONUS CONTENT NOT AVAILABLE IN THE SERIAL!In a world where demons live in hiding among humans, Adie Pond is a stranded succubus locked out of dreamland. She wants to live a quiet life on the corporeal plane, fit in with humans, and have as much of a normal life as a demon can. She thinks she’s come up with a great alternative to sexing humans to death: open a bakery! The happy feelings … feelings humans let off while indulging in sweet treats is just what she needs to feed her own cravings!
But her plans hit a roadblock when a chance encounter brings her to the attention of three sexy demons with an agenda of their own. Tobias, Emil, and Kellen want to stay on the human plane just as much as Adie does, and to do that, they need a succubus. Lucky for them, Adie fits all their requirements.
Only Adie refuses to simply give into their demands. Her normal life doesn’t include demonic complications. She can be just as determined as they can, especially when they try to force her into a corner. Will these four demons come to a compromise, or will more than sparks fly in their battle of wills?
Join Adie on her (mis)adventures towards achieving a quasi-normal life among humans.

I read the first chapter of this book in the Reverse Harem Advent Calendar and although I wasn’t entirely sure about this book I wanted to give it a try. I love the idea of a Succubus and I already discovered that I especially love the idea of a Succubus who refuses to have sex or just doesn’t want to hurt people. And this book absolutely and totally delivered.
Adie was everything I want my Succubus to be and there was also a good explanation why she was who she was and why she acted how she acted. She wasn’t just some rare and weird Succubus not liking sex for the sake of it. And apart from being a Succubus she was also all kinds of awesome. She took matters into her own hands (sometimes a little rushed and not that thought through, but still), she guarded her own boundaries, she fought for what she wanted, she tried to stay positive and bubbly and she just seemed like a great person to be friends with.
And then there were the guys in her harem. I liked how Frost made sure to make them clearly demons, with a certain bluntness and lack of manners, but she also made sure that there were reasons to like them, to feel for them, to connect with them. She made them more than just demons. They had their own personalities and hobbies and lives. I can’t wait to see and discover more of it in the next few books in the series.
The plot seemed a little thin at this point, as it’s mostly focussed around Adie and her men, how they interact and their journey. But, I never got bored, I liked watching them banter, grown closer, grow apart and grow closer again. I’m pretty sure when Adie dives deeper into this world more plot will be added and I’m sure it’s gonna be great.
Because this book was amazing, adorable and cute in so many ways and it’s now very high on the list of Paperback copies I’ll consider buying when the new credit card month starts in a week!
First in series and first read by this author.
Adie is a succubus, albeit not a very good one… she’s a small fish in a big pond when it comes to her powers and she’s squeamish about draining humans, so she skins energy to feed her nature.
She could feed off of other demons but there is alway the pain of trading and bartering..but she is working on a plan to make her life much easier..she has a meeting with a bank to fund a cupcake boutique. ( her plan is to feed of the ‘happy energy’ her cakes will bring to her customers )
She just has to feed off a ‘rented meal’..to have enough strength to make it to the meeting. Except the meal that arrives is not why she was expecting.. to be fair he is a lot more powerful ( and a whole lot of sexy ) After fleeing the encounter and realising that her meal is actually one of the owners of the bank and a very powerful demon ( Tobias ) and meeting his partner Emil.. she is pretty much told that her plan to skim feed off her customers is a bound to be a failure. But they are willing to fund her venture in… but they want her to feed off them in lieu of loan repayments. Which Adie will not do…
Taking their rejection in her stride and needing to feed she heads to a club where she meets another demon!
Kellen, again she ends up tangling ( ) with him after he demands she returns all the skimmed energy she has taken from his club goers..which is his right as it’s his club!!
Managing to escape she thinks all is well until… she is evicted from her apartment, made homeless, drained of energy by her mentor, brought up on charges by Kellen and has no other options but to try and renegotiate with all three demons who happen to live together and want her to move in!!
I happily stumbled across this book whilst foraging for a new read.
I am happy to report that this book was a breath of fresh air and an absolute joy to read and I cannot wait to dive into the next in series.
The story is a uniquely great concept and I like how it’s going, the push and pull between Adie and the trio is developing nicely without the slow slow death of the dreaded slow burn that some serial RH’s have….plus there are a lot of books in the series for me to binge read… YAYA BINGE READ POINTS!!
Adie is a funny character, determined to fight and understand her nature and I’m enjoying the group interactions she has as well as the one one one that are developing and establishing a great level of personality from the trio ( extra bonus points in it being a manageable trio! because….let’s face it when the RH is too big to remember names or give equal ‘screen time’ it gets a tad tiresome )
I’m torn between which one of the demon trio is my fave… but this is a reverse harem book so of course so far all three!! Only time will tell
