Silas' tre makes for some fun times!
Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.

This is the start of a new series by these 2 authors, and I have to say, very different from the Tangled Tentacles and I loved that it is!

Silas goes to town once a week to sing. He can only manage short times away from his tree and the forest, being a dryad. Dakata is a demon, living in the human world, managing music acts. Dakata's demon reacts to Silas, making Dak aware that his Blissful One is near. But others are against the mating. And danger looms.

I just gotta mention the cover! When I got my copy, it didn't have a cover, and I only saw the cover AFTER I read it. It fits, perfectly! The scene it's taken from? Comes over exactly like the cover! Love it!!

I loved this, I really did. It's a bit different, with Silas being a dryad. He is bonded to a tree, and cannot be far from it. The tree talks to Silas, but also is able to move freely. Which makes for some fun times, especially when Dak is near and they get down and dirty! Phew!! Dak's demon talks to the tree too.

I liked that the danger was simple jealousy. No complicated plot with twist and turns to follow. I even liked the way Dak's demon dealt with that threat.

So, I have a couple of questions!

Will Wanda get a book? I mean, she has three trees she is bonded to, will she get three partners?

Will Dougal and George get stories too?? I loved these two and hope they do.

And just who is the goat, in dak's apartment that kicks Merihem in the nuts??!!

It's a little bit out there, but Sayle is becoming a master at the out there troupe!

Loved it, can't wait for more!

5 full and shiny stars.

This was totally amazing. I love a good demon series and this series has sooo much more then just demons. It has witches, demonesses, and so much more. I loved loved loved the tiny demoness. I loved the demon's mate. I do think that they are all idiots at times. The demons need to tell their mates who they are to them and stop trying to make it "easier" lol. They always make it worse. I was soo sad for Val, she is amazing and so strong but she went through so much pain to get strong. Jake is a favorite demon for me.. The pain.. the love.. how strong he is and how much he cares and how much pain he had to go through to become who he needed to be. I love them together with his niece. Amazing story and I'm so glad that I have been introduced to the writing of JL Sheppard. She is amazing!
