Devour Me: A Novel (Devour Me Series, 1) by Emily Rath

A dark, deliciously horny paranormal romance with a haunted-island atmosphere and a “this is the hunt” kind of hunger. Devour Me kicks off the Burr Island trilogy with a wraith bound to a cruel witch, a powerful (and very tempting) rival witch, and one unsuspecting human who becomes the impossible variable—because she can stop a monster with a single word.

Dáinn the Devourer has spent two hundred years undead and reluctantly bonded to a dark witch, forced to do her dirtiest work. Devouring corrupt souls keeps him fed, but it’s not exactly fulfilling—until he’s sent to Burr Island to devour the soul of a rival witch.

Except Jasper Prescott isn’t corrupt. He’s powerful, beautiful, and his soul is worth savoring. Dáinn is in the middle of devouring him when he’s abruptly stopped by a human—Birdie Rhodes, a hapless historian and part-time shop girl who only came to Burr Island for summer work and has no idea magic is real. With one word, Birdie does what no one ever has: she takes Dáinn’s breath away.

Desperate for freedom, Dáinn makes Jasper a deal: kill my mistress, and you get to live. But Jasper wants more than survival—he has a coven to protect, and dark forces are closing in on the island. As the danger rises, attraction tangles into obsession: Jasper fights his pull toward the wraith who’s far more human than he should be, and Dáinn fights the urge to devour the witch whole… while both of them decide Birdie needs to stay close—because she might be the only thing standing between them and ruin.
