Book Blurb

Rolland and Porter have been lovers for years, even though relationships between Nekos and demons are forbidden. But despite Porter's numerous attempts to take Rolland away from the Neko Island and make him into a pet, Rolland refuses on the grounds their secret would be discovered.

When Lance, a demon rebelling against the Royal Council, comes to Neko island in search of pets, Rolland volunteers. But Lance is not as ignorant as he pretends. He knows Rolland is actually a hybrid demon/Neko. Lance offers Rolland the chance to join him as an equal, but Rolland would have to divulge the identities of the other hybrids. Is his freedom worth betraying Porter and the secret he vowed to keep?

 

Book Review

Happy to return to this futuristic / paranormal world where demons reign, use humans as food, and Nekos – human/cat hybrids - are their slaves, I was also relieved to see that Rolland gets his own story. While his brother Collin and his secret lover Prince Adrian were the focus of the first two books, this volume finally shows some of the things Rolland and his even more secret lover Porter (who is Adrian’s cousin) go through. The political plot around the rebel demons thickens, and some astounding revelations about demon/Neko history emerges. Hold on to your hats for this one!

Rolland has been Porter’s lover for years, but nobody except them knows exactly how closely they are linked. They also each have some far darker secrets, and in this book a lot of that comes to a head when Lance and his evil machinations puts them with their backs to the proverbial wall. Rolland and Porter love each other deeply, and one tries to protect the other. Unfortunately their love is forbidden, and they don’t have a lot of ammunition to get Lance off their backs.

If you like stories with secrets, intrigue, and unanswered questions, if you enjoy reading about men who clearly love each other but cannot do it openly for fear of being killed, and if you’re looking for a short, hot read set in an interesting paranormal world, then you will probably like this novella.
