I'm not even going to try and pretend this one is the height of literature. It's porn, it's definitely porn. Very fun porn though.
Alex is tramping through a cemetery one night, looking to take some radical snaps to impress the goth chicks, when he happens to stumble on a mystical ritual. Since the ritual involves tying up and "taking advantage of" (yay for horror hiding euphemisms) two women, he gets a bit involved and ends up murdering a couple of people, who luckily deserve it. Also, everything burns down.
Only it turns out that the two women happen to be a succubus and an angel, and now they're "bonded" to him. Which means a lot of sex for a very cheerful succubus, and a lot of tsundere for a very conflicted angel. And so Alex gets it on a lot. Firstly with Lorelei, the aforementioned succubus, and then with every other woman he happens to talk to, because Lorelei isn't jealous and his pleasure helps her heal from the aftereffects of the ritual. No, stop giggling, that is definitely how sex works.
Obviously it's a bit wish fulfillment-y, but it's actually really enjoyable, such that I never found myself rolling my eyes over the ludicrous things they all get up to. There's a bit too much getting het up over the emotional requirements of everybody involved in this rather polyamorous tale (mostly from Alex, who is a bit soft), but it's balanced out with some unexpectedly brutal demon murder and a lot of evil cults.
Sex scenes pretty well written, with no "throbbing organs" or "tumescent purple people eaters", though there is a slightly horrifying number of typos in the book. Definitely needed a final line edit.
Still, good enough fun that I happily finished it, and am seriously considering reading further into the series (there's three books total).
