I laughed when I first received Sugar and Sin in my mailbox, because, on the same day, I also received the book of Proverbs and Psalms from a Christian organization. It’s a good thing, too—because after reading Sugar and Sin, I feel like hopping into a scorching hot shower and washing the filth off me before diving into Proverbs and Psalms to cleanse my soul.
Feyd Nightly and Fallon Ipwhisk are demons who work, play, steal, and kill together, though Feyd prefers the breaking and entering more than the killing. Both love the lewd sex that comes their way with ready and willing females who fall under their spell with very little effort. It’s all a part of their James Bond fantasy—except they aren’t really working for the good of anything.
The demon duo has two main goals—well, two main goals outside of sex. First, they need to steal a powerful witch’s spell and kill her. Then they need to kill their annoying
boss, George Bateman, before he kills them. No loyalty among demons, it seems.
When two witches get mixed up in the game, things spin out of control, but, boy, do those two love sex with the two beautiful witches—along with anyone else who cares to join them.
You’re going to have to check your morals at the door when you open Sugar and Sin and began to read, or you’ll never get through the book. None of the characters have any redeeming qualities. That’s okay, though, since they’re demons and dark witches, so they aren’t supposed to be good.
Also, if you’d prefer not to read sex scene after sex scene after sex scene with very little plot, don’t pick up this book. Sugar and Sin seems to have been one great big excuse for the authors to write dirty and sometimes degrading sex scenes.
Sugar and Sin had the potential to be a great dark fantasy, but the authors chose to focus more on the sex than on the actual plot. Sex seems to be the whole point of the novel. Some readers like that; some don’t. And I happen to be one of those who don’t. So that doesn’t necessarily make Sugar and Sin a bad read—just one that’s not to my taste. I did get irritated with all the giggling going on, though. At one point, I threatened to throw the book out the window the next time one of the witches—or any character, for that matter—giggled again. So the writing is a bit repetitive and weak in some places.
In short, if you love raunchy, dirty, degrading, loveless sex, performed by morally-deficient characters, then Sugar and Sin is the perfect novel for you. All others, steer clear—or you just might find yourself looking for your own copy of Proverbs and Psalms.
