Review: Mirror of Obsession by Harper Jewel

I really enjoyed “Mirror of Obsession” from Harper Jewel.  The blurb really grabbed me.  I love all things unique, and I’m always looking for a book that is just a little different from everything that’s out there.  First of all, it’s MM, and that’s my current…well…obsession.  Next, there’s an element of the paranormal.  Are demons paranormal?  There’s also a sweet love story, a bit of angst, and some VERY hot sex.  This book is full of everything I love.

Here’s a quick rundown.  Devin has just had another nasty breakup.  Catching his boyfriend with another man in HIS bed infuriates him. Enter Brice…right through the mirror.  Devin “invented” an imaginary lover when he was young, and he seems to appear after those aforementioned nasty breakups.  Some amazing sex occurs, and is nearly positive that it’s nothing but a dream caused by the fever he has while he’s sick with a cold.  Soon after, Devin meets Matthew.  Matthew is the CEO of a company who is looking to hire the advertising company Devin works for.  There is just INSTANT chemistry.  Delicious chemistry.  It was so hot that even **I** got the shivers.  The men fall in love, and after a bit of separation anxiety during Matthew’s trip to the UK, it’s obvious that their relationship is is going to be permanent.  HOwever, we can’t forget about Brice, the “imaginary friend”.  Turns out he’s not so imaginary after all.  He’s a demon sent by Satan himself to steal Devin’s soul.  After Satan tells him to back off, Brice isn’t willing to cry uncle just yet.

Anyway, I have given enough away.  Let me just say that what follows is exciting and suspensful, and it’s really cool :-).  As I said, this story is just what I was looking for.  It was a great way to spend an evening.  It was sexy, humourous, a little scary, and well written.  I’m looking forward to reading future works from Harper Jewel.
