The Demon Lovers Boxed Set Kate Douglas.ARC supplied by Netgalley.I've read and enjoyed some of Kate's other works so wanted to try this set. I love fantasy/paranormal romance, and enjoy erotica but I need a good story backing it to really get into the novel and sadly found this lacking here. There's a supernatural background to the series with demons and demon slayers, and a parallel dimension to our Earth - all good and promising in a fantasy novel, but it seemed to be very quick progress through the stages. We didn't really get to know any of the characters properly, no real background information on them or the people they worked for . One moment Addie is human and walking home at night, then she's attacked and within what feels like a few pages she's embracing her new life, and happily enjoying a ménage with (admittedly hot characters) Jett and Locan. They have what feel like quick forays out to kill a few demons, and then return for some hot and heavy sex sessions. I like books with passionate, sensual, erotic sex, am happy for ménage and m/m scenes but somehow this series seemed to be more sex that story, and as I've said its the storyline that's most important to me. I didn't get that here and that's why my rating is low. For other this sort of setting will be perfect of course and will make this a five star read, but its not for me. We're all different thankfully and what one of us hates others love.Its priced at 2.62 for 262 pages so on my VFM scale its good - if this is the sort of novels you like.Stars: sadly just a two from me :( I've read and thoroughly enjoyed Kates' work before ( see my review on Dark Wolf) but unfortunately not this series.
