review 1: When Beth was young she was diagnosed with leukemia and her parents were offered an experimental procedure. Unfortunately, the experimental procedure involved painful experiments and tampering with demon and angel dna. Most guineapigs die, some survive and are either turned into vampires (demon dna), succubi (angel dna), or in Beth's case; both. To feed her new desires she joins a strip club and finds new friends who are just as strange as she is: A siren with Thalassafobia, and a werebunny. Unfortunately, an old prophecy labels Beth as a threat; everyone's out to get her. Except for two very hot men and good friends: A djinni, and an is dreki (the icelandic term?)Aside from the Hell series, this is one of my favorite Langlais novellas. So many supernatural creatures, all... more very interesting and a little corny. My fave is Gene the genie (Yes, he has a lamp w. furniture like a 1970's porn movie, and he's flirtatious, cocky and charming;-) As you'd expect, this is a menage story, and it's fun and sexy. Gene is the flirtstious one, Simon a rare shifter with a deliciously possessive side. My only complaint is the final battle. The odds seemed to be too much in their adversaries favor, yet they are fairly easily defeated. But no matter, all's well that ends well, and my inner naughty girl was as sated as Beth's succubus side:-)
review 2: Hybrid Misfit is the third book I have read from Eve Langlais, and she has a definite way of making you fall in love not just with the heroine, but with both the guys who are usually chasing after her! This is a ménage story, and though it’s short (about 36,000 words) it’s packed with history, violence and of course… Heat!Our feisty butt kicking heroine is Beth. She was a dying human girl (cancer) when her parents, in a last ditch effort to save their daughter, signed her up for experiments designed to heal her, but that hadn’t been FDA sanctioned yet. Turns out these experiments were created by crazy guys who wanted to mix Angel and vampire DNA. Without going into too much detail (you learn about it in the book) there were three test groups, those given Angel DNA (this turned the subjects into succubus or incubus), those given vampire DNA (turned obviously into vampires, but they are stronger and can usually expect unique powers to pop up) and the unlucky third group who were given both. All the test subjects in the third group, except for Beth, went crazy and died, or rejected the DNA and died. This makes Beth a hot commodity and paints a big fat bull’s eye on her back.Jump forward, and Beth is an exotic dancer who has learned to kill, sometimes though the odds are not in her favor (like 10 to 1) and lucky for her there’s a huge (huge!!) strong “other” who helps her out. From there she meets his best friend who is a genie and things go from weird to weirder as Beth finds out she could be the fulcrum of an ancient prophesy destined to either destroy or save Heaven or Hell.Whew… This is something I adore about all of Langlais’s books. She really fleshes out the lead heroine, and often times adds really unique and interesting plot threads. If you were to read this book by itself I would say you will love it and give it 4-5 stars…if you’re into the whole m/f/m scene that is. For me I noticed that her lead guys tend to blend in with each other. In the other ménages I’ve read from her there is a huge strong muscular guy who is best friends with a smaller, more seductive type man. The heroine always gets the extreme masculine guy (who is usually soft hearted) and the seductive, suave guy who is smaller but more sexual. She spends so much time differentiating her heroines (I mean they do all kick butt but they are each different) that I wonder why some of her guys ‘feel’ the same. Eh? It was still a fantastic short and she sure does know how to write some sandwich scenes… Yeah that was an innuendo…~ Bitten by Books for AReCafe less
