Demon Lover by Heather Guerre
fast-paced
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated

More good than bad, but I found it very repetitive and stilted. Each night they were together was really just varied bits of the same old dialogue.
Autumn: Irdu, I don't want you to do anything you don't want to do. There must be something that makes you happy.
Irdu: Whatever makes you happy, makes me happy.
Autumn: But I hate that you are enslaved to my pleasure.
Irdu: Your pleasure is what gives me life. I would do anything for you.
Autumn: Ok, cool. Let's bang.
I found Autumn bordered on TSTL and she got rather annoying by the end. She would have benefit from a bit more fleshing out, but I guess within the limitations of the novella length it wasn't deemed necessary. Irdu was sweet and all about that consent (he was also rocking some rather interesting piercings), but I didn't feel a sense of depth to their relationship that would have made this a knockout for me.
