About this listen

The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem.

Ellian has a problem, and his name is Felix Masters. When Ellie, a high society male succubus, joins Against the Grain, he has a foolproof plan: attend the support group for supernatural misfits, figure out how to correct his...abnormality, and then return to the Incubi compound to join his betrothed. For once in Ellie’s suffocatingly controlled existence, he will bring honor to his family name, regardless of the personal cost. As long as a certain awkwardly sweet human does not ruin his carefully laid plans.

Felix Masters has a problem, and his name is Ellian. Felix never meant to crash into a therapy group for magical oddballs, but that single stumble changes his world forever. Magic, glamour, and succubus tails are only the beginning, and when faced with a skittish Incubi dead set on self-destruction, Felix is determined to change Ellie’s mind and, with a little bit of luck, capture his heart as well.

An asexual succubus trapped by fate and expectation. An insecure human desperate to set him free. Join Felix and Ellie as they find acceptance, courage, and unconditional love in the one place they never expected: each other.

Possible triggering material includes: Supernatural culture “norms” that border on child abuse (past), emotional abuse, and dubious consent (non-graphic/off-page). One character struggles with a form of gender dysphoria and self-harm manifesting in a type of eating disorder. Side note: mpreg exists in this magical race/universe, but it is not featured on page or experienced by the main characters.

💕💕*insert jellyfish emoji*💕💕

This had so much more depth than I was expecting. I went into it expecting a light and fun romance. What I got was rich world building, parallels to intense real life sex and gender identity issues, a character arc of self empowerment that brought me to tears of heart break and happiness in equal measure, and some of the most erotic sex scenes I've seen. Kinda sappy forever romance at the end, but I would say it falls into the rare catacory of healthy codependency.

Only issue is that there was no consistency in the volume level. The narrator was brilliant! Wonderfully expressive and versatile and it wasn't until writing this that I realised there wasnt two different narrators for each character. But there were times his voice would drop until I almost could't hear it, and times it would spike and make me glad I wasn't using headphones.
Other than that, 5⭐ for everything else.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
