After deciding that my original pick for this week was so terribly bad that reviewing it would be a simple unkindness to myself as much as the author, my plea for some more sapphic or queer suggestions turned up a much better replacement, Kiss of Seduction, as well as a few other books I can add to my review backlog. This one’s a contemporary paranormal romance, a succubus and a half angel, set in the author’s version of the kinky decadent court of BDSM obsessed supernaturals trope. Demons, vampires, werewolves, fae and whatnot live in harmony with the humans they have claimed, but must fight off enemy courts at their borders. Sabor is hardly the first writer to dream up that kind of zoo, but having a not particularly unique premise doesn’t mean something can’t be executed well. Sure, the setting is somewhat of a conceit to justify the aesthetics of the various relationships (and an elaborate magic collating rite), but it’s the quality of writing that can make it break a book more…
