The Devil Inside (Morgan Kingsley #1) in SOS: Serious Overload of Series

Aug 26, 2010 Lisarenee rated it liked it

Not sure what to rate this book. Very different from my normal books. Not a bad story, but will not continue with the series. Read it because it was the BOM of one of my other groups. Had way too much kinky stuff - whips and what not(which I had no idea prior to reading and is something I don't particularly care to have included in the stories I read) and had a guy romance which doesn't particularly appeal to me. So the latest trend seems to be to take creatures which were once only characterize ...more

3 1/2 STARS

I liked it, but Morgan's attitude and personality seemed to swish around a lot. One minutes she's this bad ass chick that can take anything, then she's blubbering about and squeemish. She didn't seem to be able to make up her mind to save her life, which if it hadn't been for demon Adam, her ass would have been dead, dead, dead.

Morgan's world is one where demons are real, but not the hell-fire & brimstone type. They are apparently not all 'evil' and they live on a separate 'Plain' tha 3 1/2 STARS

Morgan's world is one where demons are real, but not the hell-fire & brimstone type. They are apparently not all 'evil' and they live on a separate 'Plain' than we do. Ours is the Mortal Plain and demons can only cross to our plain by living in a host human. If the host is willing, then the demon is a legal demon. If the host is unwilling, then the demon is obviously illegal and that is where Morgan comes in. She is an exorcist and she rids the world of demons who have possessed unwilling humans. She is also very prejudice against demons, even if they are legal and the human host was completely willing and happy to give up their bodies to the demon.

There was plenty of sex. Phone sex, masturbation, girl & guy, M/M, S&M and even an S&M club. I was unaware that there was M/M sex in the book. Not opposed to it, I just don't have a lot of interest in reading about it. I like men, not men doing men cause I can't relate. When I read a hot yummy sex scene, I , like a lot of others, put myself in the female role (that's the fun of fantasy and reading, it can be anything you want). When I read the M/M, I just can't relate cause there is no role to put myself into and it's just not my thing. Just my personal preferrence. Also didn't care for the S&M and bondage/whipping stuff. Don't get off on that either, again, can't relate, not my thing.

This didn't sway my rating on the book though. I liked the tenderness and the absolutely obvious love that was shown between Dominic and Adam. Many of their tender moments made me smile and get that sweet 'ahhh' feeling. No, what made me not a huge fan of the book was Morgan. I just could not make myself really like her. So many times I wanted to reach into the book and shake her or just slap her and hope for some sense to hit her. The story was interesting however. I liked the whole demons being real and accepted in the world thing and the writing was well done. Things were explained that needed to be explained and the twist at the end was unexpected and a good one. Maybe I'll like her better in the next one if I pick it up. It's not high on the priority list right now, too many other books to read 1st.

So, this was ok. I can't say great, just didn't feel it with the heorine, but as always, you might LOVE it so read it and figure it out for yourself. Enjoy ...
