My new next-door neighbor looks like a demon—and acts like one too!
Most of the Akrellians now living on Earth after saving humanity from an alien invasion are super polite. The red-scaled, black-quilled behemoth living next door is a notable exception, and he doesn’t bother to return my enthusiastic greeting with anything more than an impatient growl.
But I know the secret to making friends, and that secret is a dozen red velvet cupcakes with cute monster faces on them, just in time for Halloween. The grumpy, smoldering volcano of a male might pretend he’s not interested in my offering, but he can’t resist my sweet treats for long.
Of course, he might just be too hot to handle, because this Akrellian serves a darker Dancer, and the drumbeats from his primal song draw me to the domineering and demanding male while his wild howl thrills my blood—even as it sends me fleeing. When he gives chase, I try not to reveal how eager I am to be caught.
It’s just too bad that he believes I’m an assassin who tried to poison him.
This dude has a cute next door neighbor who owns a bakery chasing after him, and he has convinced himself that she's an assassin. What led him to this conclusion?? Eating an entire platter of cupcakes in one sitting. I get it though, that sounds TERRIBLE!
Ariyah can't get Zernagol out of her head, and he seems to not want anything to do with her. Until he does!!! And then he hunts her through a cornfield, scares the pants off of her, and it is very hot.
There is a large portion of this book dedicated to the question of whether or not criminals can be rehabilitated. And if those rehabilitated criminals deserve freedom. Yes, they can. And yes, they do. We can talk about it more in depth if you choose, and every case is different, but the answer overall, is yes.
I would love for Cupid to have their own happy ending. <3
