Wicked Pleasure: Nina Bangs

Brynn McNair, a beautiful demonic sex-slave, forced for eternity to fulfill women’s sexual desires, meets Kim Vaughn, demon slayer/architect, at the Castle of Dark Dreams where she has been hired to make a few additions to the castle and adult amusement park by a lawyer for the owner. Sounds okay so far except for that demon slayer/architect bit, right?

Oh how I wish it were true. This book made me want to cry out "Oh God will it never end." I know it wasn't intentional but I did find chunks of this story quite amusing. Of course I've been told at times I have a very twisted sense of humor. For instance, she uses this same description every time: "His large sack hung heavy between his thighs." Each time I read this, the mental image of his balls hanging down to his kneecaps jumped into my head. Eeewwww, so not sexy.

Her choice of wicked (and I use this term very loosely) fantasies left me bewildered and wondering how many people lied to her when they read advanced copies of her book. She doesn't always seem to know where she's going with some things or at times what she's doing. My first glimpse of this comes at almost the beginning of the novel where she's confused as to whether its night or day, added to that a 20 page conversation between Kim and an inanimate object, which she gives more personality than her main characters. By the way, it's the most annoying talking phone I have ever seen.

I wouldn't read this book again. So in short it's your money to waste in whatever fashion you choose but I would find another book if your hard up for a good read.
