I have said that story matters. More so beyond the story is the question of the characters themselves. The best stories are those that create worlds within which are characters that you truly care about. You suffer the slings and arrows, their ups and downs... But most of all, you gasp when truths never expected are revealed.Where do you start when a story brings you to tears? It's hard to describe the emotions that come as this story continues to develop. The discoveries that John learns about himself, the reactions from Raethiana, the stories of Succubi Queens past and present... There is so much depth to this work that telling of it in detail would be a terrible thing to do because every single scene matters. Which is the mark of good storytelling, and this work certainly is.
John's discoveries about himself, his past, the true past, and what it means to him are filled with emotion, loss, devotion and, finally, a measure of acceptance which I found to fit who he is in the series quite well. There are moments in this work were things happened to John that were puzzling, but then were explained in a logical, reasonably way that felt like they just were right for him. Two scenes in particular were truly important, one being when he met his mother, the moments there were so much more than I could have expected them to be. The other was when Raethiana transformed John into a Succubus. It was... right. That's the only way I can really explain it as the picture I had in my thoughts when that happened were that it just fit right with all that had happened in the story to that point.
Raethiana discovers much about herself and discovers that some things she thought she knew she really didn't. The revelations that reflect on Raethiana's world and John's for that matter take a toll on her. They aren't simply brushed aside or ignored. They become part ot her, of her decisions, of her desires. In that she is transformed in a way that she never expected to be. Love, after all, can make one do... anything... and in that Raethiana will never be a stereotypical Succubus which made me particularly happy.
What I found the most interesting was the tales of the world in which Succubi live in. Of their history, what they did in the past, who led them, what they stood for, and who in the end stood against them. How that stance, that change gained their race something more than they had before. It is so much more than I expected to see in this work by far. I have said that I like erotica to be more than the friction between two characters. I want it to tell a story, a good story, and if the erotica isn't the point of it, I am perfectly fine with that. This work, the middle of the series, tells a story that in the beginning I never expected and that was a joy for me to find here.
There is heat in the work, a lovely passionate scene between Raethiana and John that was delicious in its intensity and power that does have a gender change in it for John, but the way that is told, how it is approached, blends into the rest of the story quite well and in doing so just connects them both to where the story goes from there.
There are, as well, two Succubi Queens in this work, both of which are, for me at least, how I see that such beings should be and act. It was lovely to know of them, to find out their secrets and discover who they really are. It is said that you are given a title but you need not be that. You need to be yourself. Both of these Queens show that truth clearly and for that I was thrilled...
It really is a wonderful story that just connected with me in many ways and I really enjoyed. There is a small issue however in that the author had, like the first work, some tense errors and one other minor issue during the story with a single sentence. Otherwise it has passion, it has depth and it tells a real, gripping story.
I'm giving this work five out of five pitchforks.

The Demon in my Heart The Raethiana Trilogy Book 2 edition by John Dylena Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Overall ★★★★
John really blew me away. The Demon in my Heart manages to correct all the errors of its predecessor without losing any of the style or story that made it so interesting to begin with. In fact, I'd say that you can see John's improvement from the very first page, and it only increase exponentially from there.
Originality ★★★★★
John continues to provide us with a unique urban fantasy. His demon laws and customs are intricate, but not so much that you'll get ensnared or bogged down by them, and he's created an entire culture of underworld denizens that are just as alive as any of his main cast. There were very few predictable elements (called it about Rachel, though) and I'm really interested to see how what he's established in these two books plays out in the third and final installment.
Cover Art ★★★★★
Very nice choice of fonts, easy to see, and a gorgeous model in a slightly-haunting pose. John is very good at cover design, and this one is no exception.
Character Development ★★★★★
One of my complaints concerning The Demon at my Door was that there wasn't quite enough going on with the male protagonist. The Demon in my Heart flips that on its head. John takes a much more active role in this story, and it's the better for it. Raethiana continues to shine, and Awina is as lovable as ever, although as a personal preference, I wish she had a little more of her old personality back (obviously I understand why that's not really possible). Everyone is given the perfect amount of screen time with the exception of one character who presents themselves near the end, but I can tell that will be rectified in the next book.
Editing ★★★★★ (4.5)
John improved not only as a storyteller, but from a technical aspect, as well. Although his prose isn't perfect (and whose is, honestly?), he flows easily from one scene to the other with a fluidity that more than makes up for some of his clunkier sentences or dialogue. I deducted half of a star because toward the end, I spied several mixed-up words, spelling errors, and a hanging quotation that wouldn't stop clawing at my brain. But seriously, 98% of the book was very well-managed and the tense errors that plagued the first were completely gone. I was overjoyed to see this and it helped keep me riveted to the story for the entire duration.
Story Satisfaction ★★★★★
I can't wait to see what happens next. John has a way of providing the reader with the Good Kind of Cliffhanger (TM) as opposed to the Bad Kind of Cliffhanger (TM). The Good Kind of Cliffhanger (TM) leaves the audience wanting more because they've enjoyed what they've eaten and can expect the next course to be even sweeter, while the Bad Kind of Cliffhanger (TM) leaves the audience dissatisfied because they only got to eat half their meal because the other half was too raw, so the chef took it back to cook for a few more minutes but it's been a while since he's come back and you can't really remember if the meal was good in the first place because it was kind of cold and mealy to begin with, but you're still hungry so at this point you're just sitting and waiting for the rest.
The Sex ★★★★★ (4.5)
In the first sex scene, John gives us a more lingering view of what he's capable of, romantically speaking. I enjoyed the extra details, especially in the more tender moments between him and Rae. While it was still somewhat rushed, there was more than enough of it to keep me satisfied, and I always ended up smiling at how the couple interacted with one another. I enjoy a little sweetness, even in a story about demons, and John really delivers.
This book is substandard in most ways I can think of. If you're looking for romance, pay a few extra dollars and buy a quality, professional, full-length romance novel. If you're looking for erotica, again go pro, or better yet, get on the internet and enjoy free content. Often, the free stuff is better than what you'll find here.
The book is too short and unfocused to justify the price tag.
Well written, fast paced great plot
Thanks for doing the work needed.
