This week the boning gets a bit literal with A Soul to Keep by Opal Reyne. Join team long tongue in the first installment of Duskwalker Brides series!
We open with some information about the world we're in where demons roam freely and humans have to live in villages behind high walls for protection.
A demon's power is relative to how many humans and animals it's eaten, and daytime is the only time they can't roam when they return to their home in the Vale.
But you don't want to walk under trees in the forest because they could be hiding in the trees and jump out and get
you.
They need a little bit of shadow.
Any shade will protect them, so...
Even in the village, there's not a lot of trees because people are afraid that it's going to give them a hiding place.
Right.
And the walls, how high are these walls? And demons can't get over them?
Most of the time, the demons can't get over them.
The ones who can fly can, though.
Okay, so you're never truly safe, but you are safer.
Exactly.
All right.
They're seven feet tall with animal skeleton faces and horns, and they can walk in the daylight as well as talk and reason.
Their intelligence makes them all the more dangerous to humans.
Oh, so most demons aren't intelligent species, and they're not talking.
They're more animalistic?
It depends on how many animals and humans they have eaten.
You become significantly more intelligent the more humans you consume.
That would be terrifying.
So if any of them talk, you're like, I know you've eaten a bunch of people.
Precisely.
Just off the get-go.
