Demon Gate Series Volume 1: Origins, Initiated and Mischief

This was utterly fascinating to read! Nicholas Bella has a tendency to torture their characters, break them to pieces before rebuilding them back together which is exactly what happened to Brian - the average patrolling cop turned powerful demon. The first few books follow his awakening as a baby demon, his reluctance to accept the changes in his life and the slow sinking in the treacherous waters of the demonic politics, the two-faced games and the almost undetectable slide of his humanity, replaced by his new demon self. I loved the gripping intensity and the dark erotica feel, the brutality of the harsh, unforgiving rules of the demon hierarchy where the lines between prey and predator blur. While in some situations, you feel like a king, in others you are the dirt under the show of someone more powerful than you. And Brian definitely had some though, painful lessons to swallow/ literally/ before accepting his new position. I have no doubt the continuation will be no less a punch in the face kind of read. It's a dark erotica with dub con and other triggers so be aware before taking the stroll, down this particular alley.
