Demonica Kindle Edition

I enjoy a good, steamy m/m romance, but I was drawn to Demonica because other reviews said it was an asexual romance, and I am asexual, so I was intrigued. At first, I thought Shale was being labelled as the asexual, which isn’t correct. His medication makes him have a disinterest in sex, but meds don’t make one an asexual. It turns out Annai is the asexual.This is a very sweet romance. They want to kiss and cuddle, but no more. It’s endearing, and as an asexual, it made me smile. My only complaint about this story is that I wish it were longer. Derr gave us hints of a very interesting world that I wished could have been explored more. I think this would have done very well as a full-length novel. Nevertheless, a heartwarming read.

There's a lot to like about this book. There was a bit too much talk for me about all the magica, but I'm certain most people would not think so. I would have enjoyed hearing more about the mechanical prosthetics that our MC relies on. A lot of time is spent reminiscing on the pain of how things ended, and it seems overbalanced when compared to the offering of hope and a new relationship at the end. But again, it does end with that thread of hope and a new life that is safe, easier, and with the estranged family welcoming him back. Overall it was very enjoyable and I would recommend it.

Unlike most of her books, this one doesn't involve sexual intimacy. Because of this, you get a bit more sweetness to the characters and story. Both main characters are fairly straight forward and yet not two dimensional as can sometimes happen with short stories. A short and sweet read for anyone wanting an hea that involves light caring, no sex, and appealing personalities.

Not one of my favorites from my favorite author. I thought she did more telling than showing in her world-building, which is unusual for her. The characters were also not as interesting as some. I like her bossy brats or enemies turned lovers better.

I love the combination of steampunk and magic. Also, flawed characters who are so endearing should come with their own warning. Quick to read, entertaining and fulfilling.

I thoroughly enjoyed this. I've come to expect BAMF female characters and loving male characters and this book did not disappoint. There was action, adventure, disability done well, and asexual characters. So much to love.

Great story. Had me teary eyed through most of it. (luckily a happy ending, sorry for the spoiler). I believe the enjoyment is in the journey and this is a great read. This author is wonderful and quite prolific. No disappointments.

I really liked this.

Megan Derr is one of my favourite MM writers so I was looking forward to reading this short story and I wasn't disappointed.The story is fairly simple. Two mercenaries Keira the leader and Shale who used to be the Queens son's boyfriend are tasked with escorting her youngest son Annai home but what they weren't told us that their is a bounty out for the capture of Annai and the demon who possesses him. Shale and Annai are drawn to each other, now if only they can get home to the palace in one piece.

This is the sort of story that I love from Megan Derr. Just enough world building to give you a flavour without being over long, gentle, quite short and doesn't quite end as you expect, although a happy ending is guaranteed.The writing encourages you in to care about the characters so easily, that you want the best, both for Shale and for Keira.

It's a bit short, but set in an intriguing world where magic call be useful and dangerous. Full sized story next time please.

Characters had beautiful chemistry. Short fun. Xx
