Demon Master's Wife  Donna McDonaldWhat the devil? I thought demons were horrifying!In Demon Master's Wife by ingenious author Donna McDonald throughout the  narrative all my fears about demons were shattered.  Demon, Malachi in both books is incredibly insightful and thanks to Ms. McDonald's  Forced to Serve series my inhibitions were blown into out of space.Demon Master's Wife is an awesome second installment of the Forced to Serve series.In Demon of Synar Ms. McDonald's  vivid imagination laid a powerful infrastructure for the Forced to Serve series. Readers  are introduced to a host of  dominant characters with strong  persona.  Ania Liam,  Gwen and Kade are precious, lovable and easy to relate to because  their issues were believable. I appreciated the important role of friendship and forgiveness embedded in both books.Demon Master's Wife has messages that speak to all readers because of the  commonalities. The issues aboard the space vessel of the Liberator are no different than those we experience on Earth. Hmm, the same problems have been stumbling blocks since the beginning of time.In the Demon Master's Wife main characters Ania Looren the former Ambassador of Peace Alliance is mated with Captain Liam Synar and she is the host for the sharp-witted demon that Liam inherited from his family. Malachi is a dark spirit which is the characteristic of a demon. I found Malachi's  wisdom and perceptions rather sexy.  Oops,  TMI;  Malachi is the opposite of the demons I commonly associate with taking over a person.Liam and Ania experience conflicts that tear at their relationship asunder  and Ms. McDonald portrayals are realistic.  She taps into the emotional pain and passionately shares it enabling her readers to feel the heartache and disheartening occurrences that are pervasive throughout the book. Yes, the energy and mood of Demon Master's Wife is slightly dark but love is the light that breaks through the darkness.One of the factors I enjoyed was the acts of love Dorian and Gwen and Liam and Ania shared as bonded mates. Dag I am jealous and wish I knew a man with miraculous talents such as Dorian to drive me crazy with pleasure from another location without a  device. Kade's and Gwen's connection was such that Gwen received the big O from a different planet.  The mind is a notorious tool with the potential  to do much more than we utilize. Ms. McDonald appears to have access to this extraordinary ability because she conveys it so well.  The manner in which the sensuality is highlighted in both books Demon of Synar and Demon Master's Wife  comes across on such a higher erotic plane titillating me and I am confident other mature readers will encounter. Imagine living for almost a thousand years and still looking fabulous with the influential spirituality and insight with  skills of mighty warriors with the aptitude to look beyond the surface of a problem. The male crew members of the Liberator ship are ripped, finely toned bodies and the women aboard the vessel are super intelligent, empaths, high ranking officers with deliciously curved bodies. Who knew there are "Cougars" prowling the galaxies. :-)The story elements are clearly defined from the rising action to the resolution it grips you tightly and it's wiggle-resistant. The action scenes in Demon Master's Wife are explosive and I can see  them as a movie with Steven Spielberg or James Cameron types special effects. Ms. McDonald has the progressive visualizations to bring a plot full of twists and turns, unexpected events that keep readers up late into the wee hours to finish the book. Ms McDonald fed me well and I'm sated for the moment so I placed my Kindle down, recharged the battery.  As a great writer; Ms. McDonald left enough room for a fresh set of  mysteries.  I will devour book three Siren's Call over the week-end since staying up all night reading is not a legitimate excuse for tardiness. Well maybe if I give the boss copies of the books; I might  be able to pull it off. :-)Fantastic writing keep them coming!!
