Clark and Lindsey are back with the second book in the Trident Agency series. This time we have Priest, an incubus who is destined to lose himself to his hunger. And Oliver, a bookstore owner who has made it his mission to date him.
From the blurb:
There’s a fine line between lust and love…
Feeding on the pleasure of other creatures might sound like the perfect life, but Priest knows the truth. The bottomless hunger and the never-ending need for more will eventually drive him to the brink of madness.
It’s the fate of all Incubi.
But until then, he’s determined to spend as much time as possible checking on the human bookstore owner who turns Priest into a tongue-tied mess. Oliver doesn’t seem to mind, treating him with a kindness he’s never experienced from anyone outside his Trident Agency family.
Fumbling flirtations is all it can ever be though. The risk of draining Oliver is too great, and Priest refuses to put him at risk.
But then the bookstore goes up in flames, and Priest learns he’ll do just about anything to keep Oliver safe.
Protecting the reckless human he has been obsessed with for months may be the only truly good thing he does with his life. But the longer they’re together, the more difficult it is to resist his demon’s cravings, and the more secrets they uncover. About Oliver… and supernaturals like Priest and his friends.
As the Alpha Team investigates and attacks keep coming—forming a terrifyingly familiar picture—Priest and Oliver have to learn to trust each other… and themselves.
Priest is the second book in the swoon-worthy Trident Agency series by co-writing duo, E.M. Lindsey and Kiki Clark. It features an endearingly awkward Incubus, a bookworm ready for his gorgeous stałker to make a move, a trash panda of a fallen angel who doesn’t really do *friendship*, one wonderfully dexterous forked tongue, truckloads of possessiveness, and touch him and get unalived vibes for days.
Jacqueleen the Reading Queen's review:
"You are precious to me, Oliver. I will not be held responsible for what I do if you were to get hurt or be taken from me."
Priest sweetie. I just want to wrap that incubus up in a hug and never let go. He is so adorably awkward, and it warmed my heart how much Oliver loved that about him. It was obvious the two of them only had eyes for each other, but neither of them was making a move. I mean, at this point they'd been dancing around each other for almost a year! Someone needed to do something!
That someone was Oliver and thank the goddess because like his friends, I could not take any more of Priest's pining. He was convinced that a relationship between him and Oliver was doomed because of his incubus nature so Priest was doing everything he could to make sure that it didn't happen. However, you cannot fight against Fate, and time and time again Priest would find himself near or at Oliver's shop. That is, until there wasn't a shop to visit anymore, and everything changed in a blink.
"I have to protect you. I have to do everything in my power to keep you safe because I don't think I could live in this world without you now that I know how perfect we are together."
Once Priest got over his hangup things were full speed ahead with him and Oliver. I liked how Priest could be so sweet, but then so dirty when his Incubus was shining through. It was like Oliver got the best of both worlds in one demon!
The authors had a few surprises up their sleeves as well in regard to the plot and characters. It made the story even more interesting for me. I hope, especially for Knight's sake, that these nightmare trash people get what's coming to them! And yes, 2025 cannot come soon enough because I need to read Knights book now!
Angel's review:
I've been eagerly waiting for this story ever since Sunshine came out. I needed to know more about this unique paranormal world full of mysteries and mayhem, and in this story I got so much more than I expected.
Priest has been pining for Oliver for a long time, but he feels as though he has no chance with the adorable human who owns his own bookstore. After all, who would want to be with a Demon? Oliver has been pining for Priest for as long as Priest has but he's never sure where he stands with the incubus. After a horrific tragedy strikes Oliver's shop, these two are forced to admit their feelings and discover that there is more than meets the eye.
This addition to the Trident Agency is full of action, mysteries, awful people, and amazing side characters. As soon as I started this book I was immediately immersed back into this fantastic world. Everything was spectacular; From the characters themselves, to the pacing of the story, the overarching plotline, the action scenes, along with all the surprises and the twists and turns that occured throughout the story!
I thought that Oliver and Priest were so adorable together, both got awkward and was fumbling in the beginning which was so sweet. Overtime as they opened up about their feelings, they got more comfortable with each other and we're able to discover more about each other. These two are such a great couple, I love how Oliver wasn't as he seemed in the beginning. I also liked how Priest started rethinking everything he's been told about his kind, and others who are deemed as 'monsters'.
I was so sad when I reached the end of the book but I'm so excited to keep reading when the next one releases! I want to know what's going to happen with the other labs, and what's going to happen to Poe, Azriel, Knight and what the Trident Agency is going to do next. This was a terrific story that I very much enjoyed!! It is NOT a standalone so you have to read the first book in order to read this one.
Priest is currently available as an e-book and can be read as part of your Kindle Unlimited Subscription
