The Demon's Mate: A Gay Monster Romance with Hellfire (Delaney's Demons Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars 573 ratings

Max Tate is the new host of a paranormal investigation show on Prowl, a streaming channel dedicated to the unexplainable. He’s also a grouchy vegan who has sworn off relationships. That is until he finds himself wildly attracted to the show’s new demonologist.

Arriving at The Canyon Hotel in a tiny Arizona town infamous for hauntings and murders Max discovers that ghosts are real. And so are demons. Like the one he’s unable to resist, Mister Demonologist himself, Sal Dukes.

As Max learns more about the supernatural world, it’s getting harder to resist the pull of Sal in any form—demon or human—and Max might just be falling in— No, he is not. Don’t be ridiculous.

Then something or someone starts attacking Max, and Sal is determined to rid the hotel of the demonic entity trapping ghosts and influencing a murderer. Will Max and Sal be able to combine forces to defeat a demon far more powerful than a lone duke of hell? Or will Max’s true nature not be enough to save them?

This novella has an enemies-to-lovers story with a grouchy ghost hunter and a very patient demon, some angst, a few unusual religious figures, and lots of divine moments of ecstasy with a HEA ending.

    This was a fun story. I adored Sal in high heels. What a great image. I liked Max’s confrontational personality as well, & the fact that Sal was so delighted with Max from the start. It’s far from a perfect book but it’s very enjoyable.

    Supernatural fans might enjoy this. I loved Delaney’s book The Aliens’ Mate and this didn’t disappoint either. A lot of paranormal investigation and some demon lore.

    This was my first book by this author. The cover and the synopsis hooked me (as well at the reasonable price for an unknown-to-me author), so I one-clicked and put it atop my tbr pile. And I mostly enjoyed it. It was light, fun, silly, sexy, and the characters were interesting. Was it ground breaking? No. Was it perfect? No. Was it worth the price? I think, yes. It provided a good distraction for a couple hours and makes for a sweet Halloween read.

    I absolutely adore Max and Sal! I would highly recommend to anyone who is a fan of Delaney Rain that read this. However, it dose touch base with religion. For those that are not into that or wish to explore this perspective may want to pass. I enjoyed it for the the story line it is and nothing more.

    This book was awesome. It should've been longer though..at least +150 pages longer. But that's because I really wanted to read more about Sal and Max. Both characters are funny and endearing. And the sex was amazing. I need more books in this series!!

    Reviewed in Canada on December 5, 2022
    A sweet story where the discovery of the paranormal includes more than just one thing. It's hard to go into it without giving too much away, but there was a neat little difference in the pairing in this novella as well as some turning of classic thinking in it's head. The main pair had some unusual speed bumps to get past but them working through it, along with input from the cast of characters around them, was a fun read. It was a good continued plot line that they were working the same paranormal show from the Dragon's Mate, so I'm curious if this will show up again!

    For all of you who love a good tale of Heaven, Hell and Ballance 😏 here is an adventure with plenty of fun and fluffy feelings. Warmly recommended for every Sunday ... or whatever your traditional holly days are 😁

    My first reading of this author - but certainly not the last. I enjoyed the writing and pacing of the story as well as the characters a lot. Sexy and cute, fluently written. All the stars.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Words cannot capture just how awesome this was
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 7, 2022
    Wow. I loved this book. I’m a big Delaney Rain fan to start with and love her books but this is definitely my favourite. Sal. I was pretty much in love with him within two pages and desperately wishing I was Max by the time he realised Sal was wearing heals. That demon… gawd, he is a ridiculously perfect combination of sweet, bone meltingly hot and funny. Max was hilarious. His snark (which really just hides his marshmallowy centre) was great and kept things light even when they got tense. I loved how the plot came together. It had great pacing - enough to keep you hooked but not so fast that you lost the genuine suspense and drama behind it. The world building (or maybe more mythology?) was on point. I thought it was really creative and different from what you often read. I still have questions but given even Max still does that’s not really surprising. I’m really, really, really hoping we get to see more demons in future books. They are genuinely super cool in the way they’ve been depicted and if they’re anything like what we’ve seen so far they’ll make fantastic characters. I’m loving this series and can’t wait for the next one - and the others after that, with perhaps a few more demons ;).
