A review by rouver
Originally Human by Eileen Wilks
3.0
Since the events in this book happen concurrently with book 1, Tempting Danger , reading guides suggest that it be read as book 1.5. I strongly suggest that it be read after book 2, Mortal Danger. Explanations about Molly's abilities will make more sense.
(This story can be found by itself as an e-book or in the compilation Cravings.)
It looks like in 2012, around when book 9 was published, Wilks decided to go ahead & release many of the novellas she'd written over the years...stories that went with her novels, but for one reason or another couldn't be included. This is one of those.
In "Tempting Danger," Cullen (a werewolf/sorcerer) meets with a friend, Molly, and her mysterious accomplice, "Michael", to exchange illicit spells. Cullen is left unconscious with scrambled memories of the meeting & shortly afterward is kidnapped by the villain. This book contains the story of who Molly and Michael actually are.
Molly is a succubus who was cursed with her condition over 300 years ago. She had been chosen to be the avatar of the werewolves' enemy Goddess, but prior to the rite, 'sullied' herself by having sex. *sigh* Because evil goddesses really get a boner for having virgin avatars? Whatever. So, she's cursed with being part-demon: a succubus. Michael mysteriously appears in a wash of magic & no memory of who (or what) he is. They must escape the same villains that are in "Tempting Danger", as Michael is their first choice for their rites (but end up grabbing Cullen as a replacement).
