128. A Demon in My Bed by Sarah Winters

listened to audiobook
narrated  by Logan McAllister
Unabridged audio (9:32)
2017
310 pgs.
Genre/Level
Finished 12/18/2019
Goodreads rating: 3.67 - 64 ratings
My rating:  1
Setting:  contemporary eastern Canada

First line/s:  "Verrin growled low in his throat as he paced the cell's cramped confines."

My comments:  This story is based in mythology, set in the current time, it's full of all sorts of creatures - vampires, jins, fallen angels..But the "stars" of the story are a set of five brothers who are all incubuses.  An incubus is "called" to pleasure a female.  Although this is referred to in numerous ways and explored a bit in a few places, the main story - at least 75% of it - is about one of the brothers getting captured and held and the others are trying to rescue him.  The protagonist is a female from PEI?  Newfoundland? (or somewhere like that).  Winters threw in a best friend who was absolutely ridiculous and unneeded.  AND can you believe that after over 2000 years of immortality, one of these incubi/incubes (??) falls in love for the first time?  And to this very blah female?  Ha ha ha ha ha.

Goodreads synopsis:  A missing brother, mercenary demigoddesses and an unknown force pulling fate's strings are just a few of the hurdles facing Verrin when he wakes up in a dungeon one morning. As the son of a renegade Angelic Watcher, he was born ill fated. Being summoned by a plump little sex kitten who was everything he liked in a woman should have been a stroke of luck...
           As a librarian, the most exciting choice Cassidy O'Neill usually has to make is what book to read next. She never expected an antique book to drop a dirty minded sex demon into her bed. Bound to his side until the summoning is fulfilled, Cass is determined not to lose her heart to Verrin - even if he is the sexiest man she's ever met.
          In a world where myths are reality, falling in love is a gamble even immortals hesitate to take.
