review 1: I gave it a 4, but I would've gave it a 4.5 instead if Goodreads gave me that option. The one complaint I mention below in my review is the only reason why I didn't give it a 5.WARNING…Demon’s Slave is dark erotica and not intended for the faint of heart. I read some negative comments about this book. I disagree with those negative comments because going into this book I was expecting a dark and twisted read and that is exactly what I received. There is a warning in the blurb, so you know straight up what you’re receiving and to read at your own caution. So I’m really unsure what the naysayers were expecting.I loved this story from the first sentence! The story is graphic, somewhat abusive and hardcore pain/torture type of BDSM. Had Skriker been something other th... morean a demon bad boy, I would have been turned off by some of his actions. But he’s been granted Mastership over his half-angel girlfriend. I wouldn’t expect a demon to treat her sweetly, that’d be unrealistic. Does he go too far at times…hell yes! But, I repeat, he’s a demon, he should go too far. If he hadn’t pushed her boundaries, I would’ve had issues with this story. I found myself loving Skriker in one paragraph, hating him in the next and loving him all over again in the next chapter. Anyway you look at it, that’s good writing. My only complaint was how much Skriker ‘smirked’.The heat level of this book is mind blowing…the flush your cheeks and wet your panties kind of heat! It’s a short read full of erotic exploits. I couldn’t put it down. This book is definitely not for you if you’re against violent sex. It’s been a long time since I’ve read something this raw and gritty. What a nice change from what the publishing industry normally offers us. I will be hunting for more books by Danielle Smith!
review 2: Skryker is a blond, tatted, Harley riding, Camel smoking, whiskey drinking demon halfling who also happens to be head over heels, worships the ground she walks on, in love with a Nephilim. Rose returns Skryker’s love but her Angel heritage has placed restraints on returning Skryker’s devotion. She is often filled with divine guilt over her love for the demon, and Skryker is well aware that deep in her heart, Rose feels he is less than worthy, as much as she may say otherwise. As a gift for his thirtieth birthday, Rose is going to offer Skryker her complete submission in an effort to erase the pain she so inadvertently inflicts on his heart.If you have not become part of the Skryker fan club, you will miss out on the deeper subtext of this book. It will read as an extremely well written, graphically hard core story about a paranormal three day BDSM encounter. That in itself is enough for some readers, but without the backstory, the reader misses the sheer brilliance and enormity of Rose's gift to Skryker. I have long been a critic of Rose for shortselling my boy, Skryker. For all his tough exterior, he is a squishy teddy bear at heart, and when he is hurt, it is deep and profound. For those of you who have followed my reviews for any length of time, you know I am NOT a fan of female submissiveness as a rule. Nor am I, as a rule, a fan of hard core BDSM. You know what they say about rules, the proof is in the exception...... and Demon's Slave is the exception. Even though I understood why Rose felt the way she did, I still resented her on behalf of Skryker. His devotion was unswerving and eternal, but it was also eating away at his soul. I couldn't fathom a way to balance the scales. (and I sooo am about balance) That is why I am not an author. This perfect remedy would never have occurred to me, and I would have just lingered in literary angst.Skryker is well aware that Rose is physically stronger, that she is descended from divine blessings and he can never attain her status. He is descended from the depths of Hell, flotsum for the Host to spurn and torment. By allowing Skryker to exorcise his "demons" and giving him complete and utter mastery over her person, she is in essence showing Skryker his true worth in her eyes. This book is a VERY graphic portrayal of BDSM. It is sometimes hard to take, it is also one of the most beautiful and emotional books you will ever read. less
