About this book

Welcome to London, where the roaring twenties are filled with fangs and freaks.

When Irene is kidnapped by a gang of monsters, she is shoved straight into a world of magic and murder.

A mothman. An Unseelie. A demonic plague doctor.

The Freaks are a terrifying group ready to wreak havoc on the world that destroyed their humanity. As these creatures drag Irene into the dark, they crave her soul, mind—and body.

The longer these four are together, the faster they fall into a terrifying type of love.

Will the demons take the wings from their caged dove, or will they set her free before their world devours her?

Doves and Demons is the first book in the Freaks of Nature Duet and will be a complete story for the characters. No cliffhanger, but the plot threads go into the second book, which will have a different set of characters. This is a dark, spicy, why-choose steampunk monster romance.

Spice 20/5 Plot 7/5 Let’s just start off with the spice, cause there really is a lot of it, and the smut level of it is off the charts! I feel like this book did me so good because after a while all the books just mash together and this was THE PERFECT pallet cleanser for me. The steampunk/1920s vibe was something I haven’t read at all so that’s was so refreshing. Also it’s like a mafia, but paranormal at the same time. Honestly this author did great combining all these crazy things together...

Fun characters and world

Overall a great spicy and interesting story. I enjoyed this, but not my favorite from Clio. It’s steampunk world with monsters, so it’s definitely a good read. I couldn’t connect with Irene for some reason. I think that’s why I didn’t love this one. I did really love the guys though. They were perfectly balance, as ally hit a should be (insert Thanos gif). The guys were delicious and the spicy scenes were eventful. There is so much more that I can see happening in this world and looking forward...

Absolutely All My Deepest Darkest Desires in a Book

WOW. This was actually my first book by Clio Evans, suggested to me by a friend because I like steampunk, the 1920s, and plague doctors. Slam dunk suggestion, now I'm hooked. I'll try to review without any story spoilers because that was just as enticing as the smut: THE CHARACTERS Irene: Smart, capable, a heroine I really enjoyed living vicariously through James: Mean and bossy but sweet deep down Charles: Darkly caring Morte: OH MY GOD, MORTE. He started out as my least favorite but somehow...

Not for me

I didn't love this, but I didn't hate it. It just wasn't for me. I liked the monster aspect. That was fun. The relationships kind of gave me the ick. )

Amazing!!
