San Francisco after dark can be full of unusual sights, but the last thing Ana Khoury expects to stumble across is black-garbed figures carrying a body. Her call to 911 is interrupted by a blow to the head, plunging her into nothingness.
Sabel Young has long been attracted to the impetuous and alluring Ana, but her obedience to an ancient order of witches leaves her with few options for romance. When she realizes that Ana has been taken—and by whom—her very private life and Ana’s normal world collide.
Her orders are clear: Do not get involved with demons. But she can’t leave a woman with no magic in the hands of dark powers that will exploit her body and destroy her soul—especially Ana. With daring and luck she pulls Ana to safety.
At first it appears they have escaped dark magic unscathed. At first…
Review:
Set in modern day San Francisco, The Demon Abraxas tells a tale of demons, demon worshipers, witches, and the woman who gets caught in between it all - Ana Khoury.
I enjoyed the romance between Ana and witch Sabel Young. They'd been flirting before everything changed, before there was a murder and before Ana got caught up in the demon's plot. I love that Ana is not helpless nor is clinging onto Sabel for help. She is fiercely independent and fiery, which makes her a great heroine for this book.
There's lots of juicy sexual tension between the two heroines. They're also both very independent and strong willed, ensuring that many of the blocks that stand between them getting together are of their own making.
My favourite character was probably Lily, who is half human half demon and bisexual. Her story was probably the one that drew me the most. I loved the chapters told from her perspective. I would have love to know more about her history, her life, and her work.
The demon Abraxas was also an excellent character in his own right. A difficult thing to depict so well as he rarely is anything close to physical. However, Rachel Calish brings him to life.
Lesbians? Check. Bisexual? Check. Demons? Check. Witches? Check.
A great f/f paranormal/fantasy romance.
