Soul Stripper by Katana Collins
Absolutely blown away. I
have found my new series and book one is barely out! 5 STARS!
From the cover…..
It's called Sin City for a reason. Nowhere else are
the temptations so great, the sex so good, and the demons so bad...
By day, Monica is a barista in a local café. It doesn't pay a lot but it puts her up close and personal with her sexy boss, Drew. Unfortunately that's as far as a succubus can go unless she wants to take his soul. Monica needs mind blowing sex to sustain her and she finds her victims every night at a local strip club where she's an exotic dancer. But when her powers begin to diminish and her fellow succubi start turning up dead, all bets are off. Monica realizes she's the one immortal who has a chance in hell of making things right.

Rarely do I come across a
new book and think halfway in “I wonder if the next one will be out soon.” Katana
Collins is one of those authors that has captured lightning in a bottle. I can
only hope she reaches the masses with this series. I would compare her to Ilona
Andrews meets Darynda Jones meets Karen Marie Moning.
In a world with angels and
demons, succubus and witches Monica our fallen angel becomes a target to a
killer. Working days as a barista and nights as a stripper, Monica has to balance
her human/angel nature against her darker succubus/demon side. I was drawn to
Monica’s character right away. Although she has to have sex to sustain her
existence her moral code plays a big role. Her battle to decide what feelings are real
and what are just side effects of her succubi nature create a fascinating and
sweet inner conflict throughout Soul Stripper.
There is a huge supporting
cast of characters that will lend itself greatly to a long running series if
Collins decides to make that happen. Once again to say I am blown away does not
do this justice. Go now pre-order. Buy it today. You won’t be sorry!

My favorite passage from
Soul Stripper…
Coffee is a lot like people. In many ways, it’s deceiving.
The sweetness that you smell as it brews is more often than not a fallacy. The
scent of a dark roasted coffee bean promises you rich flavors with hints of
chocolate and hazelnut, but if you’re not used to coffee’s deceptiveness, you’re
left with a bitter aftertaste dangling at the back of your throat. To those of
us who are used to it- we’ve grown a fondness for that bitter taste. It’s complex.
It’s teasing. It reminds us that most things in life are not consistently sweet
with every sip. One morning, your coffee might brew mild with just a flirtation
of nutty undertones, And the next morning, it might be pelting you in the face
with those same nuts, leaving little stinging marks with each sip. It’s moody. It’s
not easy to perfect. But when you get the perfect brew, it’s rewarding. And
that same perfection is not guaranteed tomorrow just because you managed it
today.
