Thanks to the author I received an arc in exchange for an honest review.
What a post-apocalyptic story. Maggie is a half-succubus (I didn’t know what was the meaning of this until I read this book) who lived in the worst whorehouse in the world, her only objective is to find the freedom and the love, a man who be able to love her against everyone, against the world. In the year 3515 and the majority of the world has been destroyed by human and the Earth needs to survive because now the world isn’t a safe place and everyone wants to live.

In this place, angels and demons fight to reign the world but this time the demons are eviler than before, and now they want to rule the world in the worst way. Maggie is the key piece of the whorehouse the House of Pain because her value as a succubus is to keep her virginity but she knows how to keep her human side and fight against her demonic powers until the day she met Daniel. Daniel who was kidnapped and the prisoner in the House of Pain when he was looking for his 5-years son missing.

The owners of the House of Pain, The Bledel twins cross the lives of Daniel and Maggie of the most unexpected way when Daniel is forced to prostitute himself and the power of a woman takes away his control… After a while, Daniel promises himself to care of her. Maggie is the key-piece for who the devil can access to the Earth but she will keep the virginity for the Demon but the evil won’t count that the lives of Daniel and Maggie didn’t cross by simple chance and an unstoppable love will be born for destroying all the enemies.

The world and the characters are well created in this story, and the main story have sex scenes that were something that I hadn’t read before (sometimes it was a bit difficult for me), but in general, I liked so much the background of the story and the main characters. In other words, if you like paranormal romance you have to read this one.
Have you already read this book, if no, Would you like read it? What do you think? I'll wait for your comments below.

Wrap Up, October 2018





Hello!! I was able to read 2 books for the month of October.





The Girl Next Door, Jack Ketchum
4/5

Suburbia. Shady, tree-lined streets, well-tended lawns and cozy homes. A nice, quiet place to grow up. Unless you are teenage Meg or her crippled sister, Susan. On a dead-end street, in the dark, damp basement of the Chandler house, Meg and Susan are left captive to the savage whims and rages of a distant aunt who is rapidly descending into madness. It is a madness that infects all three of her sons and finally the entire neighbourhood. Only one troubled boy stands hesitantly between Meg and Susan and their cruel, torturous deaths. A boy with a very adult decision to make. 




And Then There Were None, Agatha Christie
4/5

First, there were ten a curious assortment of strangers summoned as weekend guests to a private island off the coast of Devon. Their host, an eccentric millionaire unknown to all of them, is nowhere to be found. All that the guests have in common is a wicked past they're unwilling to reveal  and a secret that will seal their fate. For each has been marked for murder. One by one they fall prey. Before the weekend is out, there will be none. And only the dead are above suspicion.
