Famous for the witch trials of 1692, Salem has been trying to smudge out the horrible images of murder and injustice for centuries. In a complete turnaround, the town began welcoming all witches, and by the early 21st century one in four Salemresidents either claimed to be a witch or to know one.
Jace Barton is a demon making a comfortable living as co-owner of Tailz -- a colorful pub in Salem -- along with his twin brother Konnor. Strange people pass through its doors all the time, but on Halloween things always tend to get even more bizarre. Still, Jace is surprised when Cash Rowan pays him a visit with a tale that stands Jace's hair on end. Ten years of desperate searching has brought Cash to Jace's door, and he isn't leaving until Jace gives him exactly what he needs.
Warning: This dark urban fantasy contains graphic violence and a consensual sexual relationship between non-human twin brothers.

Review by Emily at Rainbow Reviews - 
"Demon Tailz is an exciting story with enchanting characters and unexpected twists and turns. The best part about paranormal stories is being introduced to non-human characters and learning all their characteristics and abilities. Jace, and his brother Konnor, are intriguing demons and act as a wonderful introduction to this new world. I was fascinated by the steps in Jace’s change from human to demon-form, and especially the pain he endures during transformation. And of course, as the owners of Tailz, they both have tails, present even in human form, which provide quite a bit of delight and are a personal favorite."

"I can't say too much without giving anything away, but believe me... You absolutely, positively MUST read this -- especially if you enjoy a bit of demon love. ;)"
Review by Kassa
"The publisher has added a warning to the book regarding the graphic violence and twincest and there is strength to the violence that the faint of heart should avoid. The relationship between the twin brothers, Jace and Konnor, however, was beautifully drawn. Their connection and chemistry fairly sizzled within the pages, and considering the relatively short length, that is an accomplishment. There were just enough hints of a painful past and other potential angels, demons, and members of “Evil-R-Us” to offer endless opportunity and possibility in this wonderfully crafted world."
Review by Elisa Rolle
"Cash is not searching for sex, and Jace has that side of his life covered since he is in a relationship with his twin brother Konnor. To know what it will happen, you need to read the story, since if I tell you more, I for sure will spoil it, it's only 25 pages long. But despite being so short, the story is really really nice.... well maybe nice is not exactly the right word: it's a mix of splatter and comic, love and sex, Ghost (the movie) meets "The Night of Living Dead" or something similar... I didn't know if I should feel horror or smile or be a sappy romantic."

"Demon Tailz is an amazing story. It has emotional moments, hot sex, and extraordinary circumstances."
Review by Lily at I Love Books
"The characters are well developed, the story itself very interesting and the hints of both the Demon twins past life and what the future might bring are tantalizing and make me very happy I waited to read the books until I had all the available stories in hand. If you enjoy reading really well written books featuring paranormal beings, and aren't bothered with twincest, I highly recommend this book."
