The OMFG: Horns Over Hooves

The OMFG: Horns Over Hooves by [Jules Counts]
($7.99 or Kindle Unlimited) Horns over Hooves is a romance about a woman who develops a crush on a faun. Clocking in at over 300 pages, and waiting well over 100 pages for her to finally fuck the dude, it's definitely not the norm for what I review here. [Purchase Link]

Before I continue on, I'll say I didn't finish this book. Not because it was bad, though, I just actually have trouble reading longer works. It's rare that I spend more than an hour on any read. That being said, I spent three hours reading this before I put it down.

It's got good characters (though giving two major characters nearly identical names tripped me up, Kira and Lila), surprisingly intriguing world-building, and of course, a killer, believable romance. Maybe I'll come back for this one, eventually. I'll definitely be coming back for the shorter christmas special for this book.

Most people recommending this told me it was funny. I didn't find it funny, but I didn't find it stilted, either, I never felt any place didn't stick a landing. Enough people mentioned it being funny that it must either get funny after the 150 page mark, or I'm just missing jokes. Which is sad, I'm a huge comedy person.

Reign of the Demon Queen by Devon Jaxon

($2.99 or Kindle Unlimited) The queen of succubi has been freed from her Nowhere Jail where she then kills a bunch of dudes via sex and definitely enslaves a woman that she insists is not a slave [purchase link] This one is interesting because despite being like 50% sex, it reads less like an erotica and more as a plot-driven story. It also takes a first person route of a top, which I appreciate because you just don't see that very much. Giving this the purchased tag because of the totally-a-slave woman, even though she isn't purchased. Giving this the consensual tag because it reads as consensual, but, well. Slave woman.

Sinful Holidays by Rianne Burnett

($2.99 or Kindle Unlimited) Mira keeps calling her ex for sexual relief, but decides she has to move on. When she does, though, she ends up getting involved with a serious demon. [Purchase Link] Right up my alley, well-written characters, and hot sex! The scope of the story matches its length (there is a plot thread left unresolved, but that doesn't bother me too much), and it has a good amount of plot-to-sex. It's not quite horror. There is stakes, but the horror element is very light in this book.

Under His Spell by Vivian Blake

($2.99 or Kindle Unlimited) A woman married to a man not afraid of sharing is approached by a devilishly handsome witch. [Purchase Link] I appreciate that this work spent time to establish that everyone wants her to fuck the stranger, but then it kept establishing that for over half the pages which gets annoying. It's also establishing it in that mixed-message way that's supposed to appeal to "I want this but can't say yes due to societal expectation" crowd, you know, the "Baby It's Cold Outside" people. I used to be that crowd, and this would have certainly gotten me off then. Now, as the title suggests, there IS a love potion involved. It's not the "you feel compelled to fuck me now" kind, but the "liquid courage" kind. Personally, I'd have preferred the protagonist consented to the spell, but again, I'm not gonna hold my personal taste against the work. It has its target demo, it hits it, but by hitting its target ...
