Review

Mori is fantastic. The overeager, big-hearted demon Prince. But to say it’s complicated is an understatement. He’s crushing on his newly found son’s best friend. His bodyguard and best friend have feelings for him (and for the record, he’s got some explaining to do). And they are under attack by a power-hungry witch.

Damon’s life has been turned upside down. First, he became best friends with the man he was supposed to kill. Now he’s developing feelings for his father. The golden-retriever demon whom you can’t help but be drawn to.

And through it all, they are trying to figure out their feelings while dealing with interfering family and friends, and trying to stay alive. But when they do manage to get some alone time, hot damn, fire! Let me tell you Mori knows how to use his tale. Didn’t know that was going to become a kink, but here we are, with me pleading for some sexy bonus scenes.

"Be a good boy and let those horns and tail out."

The hunt for Basil and the ensuing drama will keep you on the edge of your seat, and there are lots of surprises along the way, enough to make you beg for the next book.

Synopsis

Damon will never regret freeing his best friend, even if it has put him in a powerful witch's sights. For a human, even an accomplished hitman, a witch is a dangerous enemy to have.

Damon was thinking of leaving the hitman life behind when in a stroke of irony, a hit is ordered on him. Soon, nowhere is safe, not even the demon realm. He finds himself under the protection of Mori, a demon prince and his best friend's dad. Damon doesn't do love, but he can't deny they share a connection. How can he guard his heart from the sweet demon?

As a prince, his people love Mori, yet no one has caught his attention quite like Damon. The hitman is hiding more than a tragic past. Mori wants to learn his secrets and earn Damon's love.

It will take more than Mori and his bodyguard to protect Damon, but when the Northarbor Coven gets involved, everything becomes more complicated.

Was Damon a fool for thinking that Northarbor and a life with Mori could be his fresh start?

April's Fool is the second book in the Northarbor Coven series, with a hitman who loves to be creative in his work and a golden retriever type demon. Someone meets their end to a peanut allergy and there is some violence. Best read after January Blues.
