Soulless
(Once Wicked, #1)
By Sarah J. Pepper
Our love is imperfect in
the most perfect way. It is love done our way. Raw. Unconventional.
Sexy as hell. Most importantly, it is honest to the core, or so I think.
One little, white lie shouldn't do so much damage. Yet, it changes me
forever.
The worst part is that Declan whispered that sweet nothing out of protection. My safety is on the forefront of his mind, especially since there are others who’d hurt me simply to get at him. I never think that he would be the one to cut me so deeply. And it all starts with that first prick—the night he saved my life.
***
His perilous stare deepened as his grip fastened around my waist. The maniacal thoughts passing over his eyes confirmed that I wasn’t the only one who wanted all the space between us eliminated.
I
could hardly breathe when his gaze fell to my lips. It left me speechless. It was the very way a passing glance could leave you without words. But Declan didn’t just take a glimpse. No, he unapologetically looked me over. He
loved
me, but didn’t say them in so many words. Yet, I heard them all the same. I heard them with each moan that echoed in the air. I felt them as he held me gently in his arms. Even if I didn’t feel the desire radiating off of him in a fury of passion, he bore that intensity in his gaze. The world around us melted away until there was on me and
him.

My Review:
**Received an ARC in exchange for an honest review**
This is my first taste of Sarah J. Pepper's work and it won't be the last. The storyline was fun and unique, was also well written and everything just flowed well together. I simply loved that it had the spirit from a fairy tale, I'm a sucker when it comes to fairy tales and could read them all the time.
I fell in love with Declan pretty much from the first page, he's a powerful demon who has a raging temper, no one wants to get on his badside (I would've loved to have seen him raging a little more though lol). When this demon falls in love, he REALLY falls hard, the passion that seeped from the pages was so consuming.
Also, I'd recommend reading Declan's story (Priceless) in Fairy Tales Confessions Anthology, it gives a little more background on our main man and helps you understand what's happening.
Now with his love interest, Piper, it took me a little longer to warm up to her. For some reason through the first half of the story she kept getting on my nerves, but she picked up her game for the second half.
Demons, witches and a love that can change even the most wicked of fiends, what more could you want?!
I recommend picking up a copy and swooning till the very end, you'll be left wanting more.
