About this book

Aria is a woman haunted by a past of betrayal, struggling to trust anyone after being failed by those sworn to protect her. Her life takes a dangerous turn when she finds herself caught in the crosshairs of a demonic killing spree, forcing her into the orbit of Bender. He is a lethal, immortal demon-slayer who defies every convention. With his intense OCD and a bizarre, unsettling obsession with her undergarments, Bender is a paradoxical protector who oscillates between being a terrifying stalker and her only lifeline.

This gripping dark romance masterfully balances high-stakes paranormal action with a complex, morally grey connection. As the demonic threat against Aria escalates, the thin line between her fear and her craving for Bender begins to blur. He is a man of many secrets, and as she discovers his true nature, she realizes that the person saving her life might also be the one poised to claim her soul.

Lara Slass delivers a fast-paced, addictive read that avoids the pitfalls of over-saturated smut, focusing instead on the raw, psychological tension between two broken souls. If you crave a supernatural romance where the hero is as dangerous as the monsters he hunts, this is your next obsession.

Dark Touch - Engaging Story

July 30, 2025

4 1/2 stars - Engaging dark story that drew me in from the beginning to the end. Our characters Bender a demon hunter who protects Aria and Aria who unknowingly is involved in a prophecy where her live is in danger were likable with chemistry and flaws that kept me invested in their romantic adventures. The story line was interesting in this copy I'd received and volunteer to read and review. )

Gripping from the start!

This book completely drew me in from the very first chapter. The pacing is spot-on! Fast enough to keep you turning the pages but layered with enough detail to really bring the characters and story to life. The tension builds perfectly. I loved how complex and relatable the main character was, and the author does an excellent job weaving in emotional depth without slowing down the action. The smut was a good amount without taking away from the plot. This is a must-read for tjose that like spice...

Such a good read!

Great story! I Love a book that has you right from the start. This story keeps you going. The drama is great, but not over packed. I am not a fan of an over smut book, so this book was a good read for me! When fantasy is mixed with reality the author did a great job merging the two without making it seem as its one or the other. Great great read! ) One person found this helpful
