From betrayal and pain, can two very different worlds be saved?

A naïve beauty…

Olivia has never questioned the teachings of the Witches Guild, never questioned the Elders; it’s the only life she’s ever known.
An uncontrollable hunger…


Ristan has spent centuries trying to contain his true nature, restraining his Demon and its voracious hunger for souls.
A situation neither of them were prepared for.


They say the road to Hell is paved with good intentions, and Olivia can’t escape from her actions. What she’s done, she knows must be paid for in blood. Her own.


A monstrous need for revenge against the girl who wronged him; Ristan wants to keep her, humiliate and torment her, but his inability to truly harm her may just be his undoing.


A dangerous need to explore the man who holds her captive and captivated; Olivia knows she should run, or resist him, but the magnetic pull he has on her is undeniable.

From the very first Fae Chronicals i have loved Ristan. he brings a certain something to the series and i don't think it would be the same without him so when he got his own book i was very happy. And let me say it was everything i expected and more.

Love Ristan, one of my favourite characters in the Fae Chronicles. Exceptional storyline, answers a lot of questions about the characters and although Ristan's attraction to Olivia means he's off the market ;-), she is still a worthy heroine.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Start To This Fae Chronicles Spin-off Series.

I've become a fan of Amelia Hutchins after starting The Fae Chronicles and couldn't wait to get to know the men of The Elite Guard better. I love her writing style, the pace she sets for her stories and the gripping adventures she takes us on. The characters she creates are always complex souls that exhibit all the personality traits that hold my interest. ;-)

If you've read any of my reviews before, you'll know that I enjoy a story more when the female protagonist is intelligent, resilient, resourceful, self-reliant and has plenty of gumption: I wasn't disappointed here. Although, Olivia isn't your usual kickass heroine, I loved her gumption and really respected her resolve to own up to her mistakes and try to fix them. I was already a little in love with Ristan from reading The Fae Chronicles because of his actions, loyalty, sexual teasing and wicked sense of humour and I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know him better in this book.

There is a great deal of graphic violence and sexual content in this book. I would just like to add that some of the actions of the species may cause offense or trigger emotions some readers should avoid. It's always a grey area, paranormal romances written about succubi or inccubi type Fae because sex without consent is rape and the overwhelming power of these Fae to make humans do things they mentally might not want to is, by our real life laws, rape. Having said that if you persist, Ms Hutchins always gives her readers wonderful insights into her characters' inner dialogue which changes your perspective and understanding. I was definitely out of my comfort zone reading some scenes (it's a book so you can always elect to skim over content that you really don't want to read) but didn't back away and ended up enjoying the extra dimension that they added to the emotional turmoil and conflict they created.

As an existing fan of this world, A Demon's Dark Embrace was a fantastic read and I stand by my 5 stars rating, however, because the timeline for this book overlaps events that happened in The Fae Chronicles, jumping straight in with this one may cause new readers to feel a bit lost. There are many story threads that run in both series and I'm anxious to continue my adventures in Faery and get to know the Fae of The Elite Guard much better. ;-)

A Demon’s dark Embrace was a very sexy and enjoyable read.

Character wise, I was expecting a lot more powerful and painful feelings from Ristan. More angst and hurt. It was a little bit of a letdown for me actually, since the previous book (if you follow the suggested reading order) led up to something so dark and hurtful and I wanted to feel those moments of complete pain and his wish for revenge to shine.

Ristan was tortured and blames a librarian from the Guild called Olivia for the fact that he was captured.

He captures Olivia and promises her that he will revenge what she did to him. And. He. So. Didn’t.
Look, I know Ristan isn’t the type of “demon” to hurt a woman. But I did expect him to frighten her.
And. He. So. Didn’t.
At least I didn’t feel like he punished her for her “sin”.
And since the book centres around his need for revenge that felt a bit flat to me.
Ristan was however a total sweetheart. Even on his most darkest moments, and so loyal to his brothers and Faery.
I did like that aspect of him.
Olivia was kinda “meh”. She was a more subtle type of character and she didn’t pull me in. Super jealous of her hair though😂

Action wise I felt like we first got a little something toward the end. Which also means it took a shit long time to anything actually happen.

I did enjoy the book, but it won’t ever be my favorite of Hutchins work.
