My newest book trophy: Awakening the Demon by
@evelyn-embers.bsky.social
I read this as an ARC and loved it, so I had to get a physical copy for my bookshelf. I'm looking forward to more from this world!

We read monster romance to explore desires that are too big, too dark, or too vulnerable for the real world. Itβs about absolute acceptance of our flaws. What does the monster romance genre give you that contemporary just can't touch? ππβ° πͺπ πΆοΈπ

Romance is about making a choice. Rylik has to choose between his safe, century-long isolation or the lethal danger of loving a human in a world that despises her. Would you risk your entire peaceful existence for someone you just met? ππβ° πͺπ πΆοΈπ

Audrey doesn't lose her identity in the Rift. Sheβs a botanist; she starts teaching a demon about irrigation. I love FMCs who bring their real-world skills into fantasy. What mundane FMC career is your favorite to see applied to magic? ππβ° πͺπ πΆοΈπ

The Demon Realm refers to humans as βit.β Rylik calling Audrey βbeautifulβ is an act of political defiance. The world hates her, but her monster worships her. Does the βus against the worldβ trope need a hostile society to really shine? ππβ° πͺπ πΆοΈπ

Audrey is a mid-thirties botanist dumped by a bureaucratic nightmare into a demon realm. Falling for a monster is the ultimate escape from burnout. If you could portal out of capitalism into a cozy cave, would you ever actually leave? ππβ° πͺπ πΆοΈπ

Thereβs a thin line between possession and protection. Rylik keeps Audrey in his cave, but he spends his time weaving her blankets and making her stew. When does caretaking cross into claiming, and why do we love reading about it so much? ππβ° πͺπ πΆοΈπ

"Awakening the Demon" ARC Interest
Hi Readers! If you are interested in ARC reading for Awakening the Demon, please fill out this form! Please note that filling out this form does not guarantee that you'll receive an Advanced Reader Copy (ARC). After the ARC application window closes you'll receive an email from me with next steps. I will be using Story Origin to handle the file transfer. Awakening the Demon is a full length novel, ~400 pages, set in the same universe as my previous series Monsters of Coldwater Springs and The Crescent Coven. You do not need to have read any previous books to jump right into this series. There is no financial compensation for being an ARC reader You agree to post an honest review on of Awakening the Demon when it releases on Fri, April 24th (or soon after) You agree to post a review on Amazon primarily, and Goodreads as a secondary. I'd love for you to post anywhere that you like to leave reviews, but because this book will be enrolled in Kindle Unlimited, Amazon is the most important review. TRIGGER WARNING: While my books are generally cozy and low-angst, there are some triggers that I'd like to post for you, so you can make an informed decision! Spicy Themes: On page sex is plentiful and descriptive. There are elements of voyeurism (he likes to watch), bit of a breeding kink (likes to finish inside, but there will be no pregnancy, discussion of pregnancy, or possibility of pregnancy) and there is distinct monster anatomy (ribbed for her pleasure, and mild tail play!) Dehumanization & Xenophobia: The demon society views humans as less than, and often use species-based slurs, or refers to her as an βit.β Mild Violence/Injuries: Very mild to keep to those cozy vibes, but there is a brief scene where an antagonist attempts to drag our heroine away, and there is on page descriptions of injuries/blood, and mild scenes of our heroine being jailed/held captive. Iβm making it sound darker than it is, but still wanted to give a heads up! Past Trauma: brief descriptions of bullying for our hero, and the (not on page) death of parents for our heroine.
