Merman Kisses and Starving Incubi

Sweet Supernaturals, Book 1

De: Morgan Lysand

Narrado por: TJ Clark

Felix is a miserable incubus, but he does his best to hide his misery. For the most part. Adopted and rejected by strict Catholics, Felix is ashamed of his body’s needs. Work isn’t much better. He’s a star litigator at his law firm, but hates every second. Oh, and he’s in love with his best friend Chris, who happens to be a fellow attorney, his roomie, and a sexy as sin freshwater merman.

After truth or dare on Halloween loosens their lips in more ways than one, Felix pumps the brakes and challenges them both to a bet. No release for a month, or the loser moves out. Chris agrees with a counterproposal. Felix has to come to terms with being an incubus, otherwise he loses Chris.

Chris’ life is pretty peachy. His estate planning clients are great…mostly. He sees Felix every day, and has the family lake to look forward to every Saturday. But as Felix investigates being an incubus, a few things of his own mer nature come to light, changing his perspective on his family.

Merman Kisses and Starving Incubi is a fluffy and spicy MM paranormal romance featuring the pine-y-est of pining besties to lovers idiots. A sugar-loving incubus that’s not a virgin, thank you very much. And a freshwater merman that may be a touch too obsessed with his long hair. Please check trigger warnings in the author’s note.

Incubus and his Merman Best Friend!

This was a very erotic romance which I appreciated that because it is about an Incubus finding his way. Felix really needed physical touch but at the same time need the real intimacy that deep down he only wanted from Chris. So, this was very sexy while still being very sweet.

Audiobook Narration (7h53m) - TJ Clark - 4 stars
This is my first time listening to this audio narrator and I quite enjoyed his style and delivery. It took me a quick minute to get used to the slower, broken cadence, but a few chapters in and I was immersed in the story, like a merperson to water. I would listen to more of his work.


Story - 4 stars
Merman x Incubus was a pairing I didn't know I needed.

Since it's not explicitly mentioned in the synopsis it is worth mentioning that while Felix and Chris have a closed romantic relationship, their sexual relationship is open - Felix is an incubus and the author doesn't sweep away his nature, but rather tells his story of coming to terms with it after a traumatic and neglectful upbringing.

I really loved the author's world-building and storytelling. So much heat and heart. Felix goes on a journey and I was here for every minute of it. Not only is he ashamed by his incubus nature, but he is deeply unhappy with his professional life and watching him grow and come into his own made for a compelling story. I did find a lot of problems/issues were brought forth throughout the story that were dealt with a bit too easily given their seriousness so they ended up not seeming to be big deals, which didn't serve the narrative well, but I ultimately understood that the author didn't want to drag the reader down with too much angst. It's definitely a fine line.

There was a great cast of secondary characters; Rain, Josh, and Brendon were smoking hot and perfect in drawing Felix out of his shame. I loved how loving and supportive they were. The childhood friend group was fun and equally supportive in their own way. Loch was such a sweetheart and it was so heartwarming how he became friends with Chris and Felix, allowing them to share his lake and create that perfect first date.

I equal parts abhorred and adored the 'No Nut November' bet, the eventual payoff was pretty good, but it was rather ridiculous and nonsensical. I'm also a notoriously hard sell on fated mates, I'm glad this didn't go hard on that front because it would have ruined an otherwise good story for me. I'm also left feeling some kind of way about Chris's parents. I wish they had been more proactive in trying to mend bridges with Felix after he was hurt by their actions (or rather inaction, I guess).

I was given an Audible code and voluntarily wrote an honest review.

Finding who you were meant to be

This quite beautiful and heartbreaking all at the same time. Felix and Chris stumble their way through figuring out what makes them happy and helping Felix figure out his true incubi nature. They have been obliviously in love with each other for years but Felix’s hang-ups about his own nature and lack of any way to learn have hampered them both. A silly bet turns into some life changing realizations that make this story so good! And the narrator TJ Clark does such a good job of bringing these two and the surrounding characters to life. This audio was even better than the book!

Spicy! - by Shana W

This is a light, fluffy, fun and spicy read, with romance between the two MCs and lots of steamy scenes with multiple partners. Felix and Chris are so sugary sweet that they're almost too good to be true.  Chris completely supports Felix in his endeavours to be true to himself and what he needs.  They get a very lovely and well deserved HEA. I listened to the audiobook narrated by TJ Clark; he did quite a good job of bringing the story and characters to life, making it even more entertaining.
I received an audiobook copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
