Iolanthe is a 3000-year-old elf with a brother who we know and love. She has escaped from the "confines of home" when told that she would be marrying a male of her parents' choosing after she reached her 1000th birthday but hadn't yet found her fated mate. She frequently goes on treasure hunts and also manages to get herself in - and out - of scrapes.

Kyter is the owner of Underworld, a nightclub in London where fae and 'other' are welcomed. He makes a journey back to the village of his birth due to tragic circumstances and finds himself on a path that will intersect with Iolanthe's. They are both after an artefact and neither of them is in it just for fun.

As this book unfolded, I was convinced it was a solid 4-star. After all, Vail is the one who has stolen my heart and I honestly thought that no one could compare! I have to say that Kyter came close though. He is a flawed male who reacts with instinct instead of sense when he realises that Iolanthe is his fated female. However, he is also man/jaguar enough to realise his mistake and work to put it right, even if it means laying himself on the line. Kyter was sneaky in weaving himself into my affections but I wouldn't want it any other way.

A fast-paced and well-written book that has enough action in it to keep you on the edge of your seat along with passion that flows off the page. Once again, I have no hesitation in recommending this to all fans of Paranormal Romance!

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Imp Series: A Demon Bound, Satan's Sword, & Elven Blood (Imp, #1-3) in Books

Jan 6, 2021

I read the first book as a freebie a few months ago before this bundle came to my attention at a reduced price of 99p.

4.5 stars

A DEMON BOUND

I wasn't sure about this to start with but I quickly warmed up to the story. Admittedly, a lot of my excitement with this was the love interests and her reactions to them as an Imp, wanting to get them into bed and do naughty stuff to them a lot of the time. I'm very intrigued as to what will happen later on in this series with Gregory and also with Wyatt.

I definitely want to read the next book!

SATAN'S SWORD

It had been a while since I read the first book so I should probably have done a reread but I remembered enough once I started that I didn't bother. I remember being more intrigued by the Gregory aspect of the story than Wyatt, and I wish he was in more scenes but maybe that will change in the next one.

I do like Sam, she's a proper demon who abuses her body since she can't hurt herself too much and doesn't die easily. She gets up to quite a lot of mischief with her little gang but it's an enjoyable read.

Off to read book 3.

ELVEN BLOOD

I actually think I was more into this book than the previous one. It might have been that the previous book was fresh in my mind but I was really into it. I am still interested in something happening between Gregory and Sam. PLEASE!!

Aside from that I was intrigued by the elf/demon half breed and when it came out who it was I wasn't that surprised but it added an interesting twist. I was also eagerly waiting to see how Sam would deal with Haagenti. It was a long time coming and I enjoyed how it ended.
I can't wait to read more of this series!

Album Favorite

"I didn't know much about Sly and I'd only heard the two hits that he'd had, which were 'Everyday People', which I loved because of that bass line which goes all the way through without changing once, and 'Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)', and I loved them but I didn't think that much of them. Then one evening in 1971 I was round the house of this bunch of London musos who I'd kind of fallen in with and they were all sort of jazz-influenced people. They used to smoke a lot of grass. I didn't, but the room was full of enough stuff to probably affect me. They were all talking about this album and how it set the scene for something totally new, and I was interested because they were the very serious people who were into Coltrane and Charlie Parker, yet this was a pop record. It's so sketchy, the whole thing, it hardly holds together. It's like little flicks of paint. Instead of an organised composition, it's just people throwing in these little touches and somehow it coheres. It's like the first time I saw a Jackson Pollock or something. Another interesting thing about this is I had just started experimenting with rhythm boxes, which were considered completely beyond the pale by most musicians. They had like six rhythms on: bossa nova, Latin, rock & roll... something like that, and they had these terrible sounds [mimics rhythm box] but I really liked them and I was starting to write things over them, and everyone was asking me, ""Well, you'll replace that, won't you?"" and I said, ""Actually, I don't think I will."" Then I heard this (first track, 'In Time'), where one is playing alongside Andy Newmark, one of the great drummers of all time. But there's nothing really holding it together except the rhythm box."
