Description

In downtown Los Angeles, Soraya Honei encountered fate… and it was hunting her.

Something was wrong with Soraya.

Her skin was stretched too thin, her body was burning up, and sex was all she could think about. A couple of nights of some casual fun in downtown Los Angeles seemed like the only cure.

She wasn't looking to fall in love, but something far more permanent found her.

Now, the strange dreams she’s been having are making a terrifying kind of sense. Soraya just got her life in order, and the inevitable was coming for her. Will she be strong enough to face it?

The story contains heavy, sexually explicit scenes. If you are not comfortable with explicit content, this is your warning to turn back! This will probably not faze you if you're a seasoned spicy reader.

Soraya Honei is a Why Choose, Dark, Fantasy, Mystery. Tropes include Fated Mates, Slow Burn (but quick to heat), Elemental Powers, and Suspense. It's the first book in the series and my debut book.

Advance Praise

Praise from RoyalRoad users:

"Keep in mind that this story is indeed spicy. I'm sure, for that reason alone, it's not for everyone. However, it IS for me. Hehe. Personally, I'm more than down for that. It's also very much for the ladies, I think, and as one of the ladies, I loved it...This story is hot, it's fun, it's for the girls (imo), and it's a total trip. Or at least that's how I feel about it. Soraya floats off to Neverland and you go along with her. I'm excited to see where she lands." —Tealery

"The author is 100% not joking with the blurb. If you can handle the heat, it's absolutely worth the dive.

Given the subject matter, both the flavorful aspects and the softer moments are incredibly well-written. The author makes phenomenal usage of every adjective under the sun, and the prose flows beautifully. Scenes are descriptive and easy to imagine--all of them. The way by which subtle foreshadowing is woven into the more intimate exchanges is extremely clever. Truthfully, not something I think I've ever seen out of those sorts of settings before. Highly unique...etc" —StrawberryRain
