Review by Lily, posted on ScuttlebuttReviewsWow… I’ve read many books in my life, but I’ve never ever read anything this intense, loving, refreshingly different, and so explicit. There are many points that made this story so enjoyable and refreshing for me:1) There are two dominant characters in the story and one of them is a female2) The two males are bisexual3) Three of them love each other unconditionally, with total empathy and adoration4) The things they do together are very sensuous and sizzling.Demons Within helped me understand more about the dynamics in a D/s relationship. I love how Ms Ayers explains D/s relationship through female Domme Sidri’s discussions with Allen. Sidri lovingly taught Allen how he, as a submissive person, is in control of the relationship as much as his Dominant partners. As a result, I really enjoyed reading this story… It is just so beautifully written with some psychoanalytical parts that fit seamlessly with the plot and dialogue.My only issue with Demons Within is the theological discussion in the beginning; I feel religious discussions are very subjective and can be touchy. This is especially true when one is reading erotica and doesn’t quite expect to see it. Religion is really personal and can be off-putting if a reader isn’t willing or able to get past the topic and appreciate the overall story because they’re caught up in the theological issues. When present in “standard” romance stories, it’s not as jarring because those are usually more about character development and their relationships, rather than the sexual aspect of the relationships, so it makes more sense to me. But I tend to think that erotic romance is more effective when it leaves religion alone unless it’s integral for plot development for some reason. But like everything else here, that’s just my opinion!That little bit aside, I loved this story! Allen, Sidri and Tatum are lovable characters with wounded hearts and beautiful personalities. My favorite is Tatum, but you need to read the story to know why. I will say he is just wonderful and sexy.
