Review for Worlds of Obsession by Kella McKinnon

This is my review for Worlds of Obsession.  All opinions expressed are my own and in no way influenced by anyone.

Though I'm sure most people will realize from the moment that they see the cover of this book, I feel like I need to reiterate one fact: this book is NOT for young audiences.  This book would most definitely have at least an NC-17 rating and there would be many who would easily give this a XXX rating!  Buyer beware, if you are offended by foul language and strong sexual content, steer clear of this book.  But if you want to lose yourself for a few hours in the world of the Sidhe with an amazingly beautiful and virile Demon.

Bastien is a member of the Fomorian race, one of the protectors of the human race.  He and his kind protect us from the things that go bump in the night.  For the last 200 years hes been living in a world of anger and rage after he lost his mate.  He should have died with her, that's how its supposed to work.  His race mates for life, once they find the one their life force is entwined with theirs and if their mate dies, they follow quickly after.  But not Bastien, he lives and every day is a torment.  Until he meets Liv.

Liv receives a strange package on her 26th birthday.  A mysterious letter urges her to travel to Glasgow and included is a book of Celtic myths and legends.  She finds herself reading about things she never knew existed and doesn't really believe...until she has a run-in with an evil  Vampire in a back alley.

Bastien comes to her rescue and when he finds that he cant wipe her memory of the ordeal, were launched into a whirlwind of intrigue and sexual tension when Bastien realizes that there's some sort of very strong connection between himself and the woman he has saved.  Has he been given a second chance?  Who is this female who has him going crazy?

I found myself enjoying the book in spite of myself.  For the most part the characters were fun and even though you wished that the build up didn't take so long, the results were satisfying.  There were times that I really didn't like Bastien and I found myself telling Liv to run away or just smack him upside the head for being a sexist jerk.

You need to come into this book not looking for something deep and meaningful.  If you can suspend belief and take the book for what it is...book porn...you'll find yourself on a raunchy but enjoyable ride through the Otherworlds with a gorgeous Demon, his insatiable Vampire friend, a rather mean Demi-God and a whole host of supernatural beings.  If you're looking for some graphic and steamy sex scenes with a bit of action and adventure in between, take a chance and have fun with Worlds of Obsession.
