CLICK TO PURCHASE! For freelance sorceress Kaydana, looking for work in the city was a drag. It seems every sorcerer/sorceress is looking for work and it just so happens they have converged on the same city as Kaydana. To make sure she has money for food and lodging, she takes a commission from the sexy Tati. Her job: rescue Tati’s lover from the dungeon of the King. Kaydana reluctantly agrees even knowing she is no match for demons and the powerful enchantments at the castle but she finds out that the staff she has used is more than what it seems as sorcery, passion and dark desires take root in Kaydana.

The first book in this mystical series is a wild, passionate ride from start to finish. It is a short novella so I don’t want to give much away in case you haven’t picked it up yet. Author Nyki Blatchley delivers a wild, seductive gem in this beginning of a erotic fantasy & sorcery series. I do have to warn readers that this contains erotic scenes of F/F, ménage, sexual content that may be objectionable to you. The writing was fast, tight and the characters were wonderfully well written. I loved the independent heroine, Kaydana, a woman who tries her best even though she may not succeed in all the situation she finds herself. She is a woman who, no matter what, does her best to succeed and is always amazed when she does. Author Nyki Blatchley’s Kaydana is a sensual tale as well. There are explicit scenes throughout the story that leave the reader panting and ready to jump their significant other. I thoroughly enjoyed an afternoon of reading Kaydana’s story and I had just one complaint: it was too short. I would have loved a longer story to see how Kaydana grew up and the other secondary characters mentioned that crossed paths with her were very intriguing to me.

KAYDANA AND THE STAFF OF ISHLUN is a very erotic fantasy story that kicks off Kaydana’s adventures as she finds herself drawn to different people/creatures as the staff’s powers come alive. This is truly a hot erotic story to heat those cold nights up. I suggest keeping some ice on hand or your honey around to cool you down afterwards. A very enjoyable read that has me looking forward to more of Kaydana’s adventures in the future.

THIS IS NOT AN ENDORSEMENT OF THIS BOOK. THIS IS AN OBJECTIVE UNBIASED REVIEW.

Sounds like a great read - what a hoot to imagine sorcery as a crowded profession!

Liking hot, hot, hot as I do, your warning only serves to light my particular fire, so I'm off to spend some cash!
