"Bangs weaves demonic magic"
Nina Bangs is back with her second tale in the Wicked
series, and it's wicked fun from start to finish. The
premise is three brothers own the Castle of Dark Dreams.
Sort of a sexual Fantasy Island in an amusement park, but
without the annoying midget screaming, "Da Plane! Da
Plane!" This brother, Brynn McNair, must contend with Kim
Vaughn. And sparks do fly. Poor Brynn, for five centuries he's a been a sex slave
(pity that). No matter who the woman is, when he's alone
with her, he wants to get down to the bare necessities and
do the wild thang. The piteous lad has been playing super
stud for women who love his sexy body, but don't look
beyond, and it's all a tad bit tedious. What is worse,
while he pleasures his current lady, he gains no
satisfaction. Guess he's been listening to that old Stones
tune..."I can't get no..." This makes our lad a wee bit
testy, as you can imagine. I mean, five hundred years and
not once? Poor chap! Only, while the spirit refuses, the
body is able...more than able. Any female, even sagging
granny (oooHHH don't go there!!) can have her wicked way
with him. Kim is the black sheep in her family, and has rebelled
against the family tradition of being demon-hunters. She's
refused to follow in the family trade, and instead has
becoming an architect. She worships at the idol of suburban
soccer mums. Only, it is hard to lead an ordinary life when
you own a demon-detector, basically a cell phone that comes
with more than any Verizon blower promises. The family
dismissed it as no good, but Kim loved the personality-
riddled IA talkie, despite is demon-alert- warning going
off at the most inconvenient times. Since Kim has been
hired to make additions to Castle of Dark Dreams, you know
she is going to run afoul of Brynn and he is going to want
to bring her a higher love...uh hun... Bangs once again pens a side-splitting, sexy tale that
dazzles and delights and leaves you hungry for the third
installment. Posted June 25, 2006 Review for original Berkley Pub Group /
