The latest reviews for the dark fantasy trilogy, Saurimonde I, II & III.


Amazon reviews: Saurimonde III:



Format: Paperback
Fantastic continuation of the SAURIMONDE saga! The authors perfectly split the difference between elegance
 and tautness, richness and speed, classiness and sexiness. A wonderful immersion into a strange, surreal
 landscape. Highly recommended!


Format: Kindle Edition
The next darkly erotic instalment of the Saurimonde mythology. The devil gets to do he does best, corrupting souls 
with a deeply dark lasciviousness, no one is safe from his eroticism. Will Saurimonde and her gorgeous human lover
 survive the devil’s plans?

This review is from: Saurimonde II (Volume 2) (Paperback)
Compared with the first book, which I very much enjoyed, "Saurimonde II" has more depth, there is much more going on and the characters are showing their real faces.
Right at the beginning of the book, I was again completely absorbed by the characters and the environment in which the story takes place.
Highly recommended!!

This review is from: Saurimonde II (Volume 2) (Paperback)
An excellent sequel to the darkly sensual Saurimonde, a gripping page turner, filled with dark magic, a heroine to fall in love with and a twisted plot which leaves you with a need to know more......

5.0 out of 5 stars Saurimonde - an esoteric fantasyJune 12, 2013
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Saurimonde (Paperback)
A fast paced erotic/horror novel, a suspenseful 'page-turner'.The beautiful and alluring Saurimonde is trapped in a love-starved marriage with the controlling and abusive nobleman, Gilles.Despair leads her to betray her marriage vows with a beautiful, Pan-like, young man. The consequences are demonic....... As in the tales of Algernon Blackwood, the authors have imbued aspects of the landscape with 'personality' and a sense of 'imminent consiousness'. In this case, it is the river, the location where much of the drama is focussed - a river which has a soft,sensuous feminity which masks dark,dangerous undercurrents.The descriptions of demonic trickery will be recognised by those readers who have first-hand knowlege of the denizens of the Goeteia. Those who know how the demonic may feed off sexual energy and disguise itself under a glamour of sensual beauty. Written in a fast-paced 21st century literary style, "Saurimonde" is an unmissable read for the modern-day occultist and fans of the horror/magical fantasy genre.

4.0 out of 5 stars Riveting, Sensual, MagicMay 10, 2013

This review is from: Saurimonde (Kindle Edition)
This is a rare literary treat for fans of the supernatural and the erotic. More typical in this genre is to see pedestrian writing and tired ideas. Not with SAURIMONDE. The authors have nailed a precise balance between pristine, literary elegance and taut, page-turning excitement. It's unusual to see a work so dense with language yet so fleet and focused. A grand synthesis of deep intelligence mixed with pure sensual and sensory pleasure.

Experience this realm for yourself.

This review is from: Saurimonde (Kindle Edition)
A rollicking good read that sweeps you along. A dark tale of a beautiful golden young woman trapped in an abusive loveless marriage who finds life and love through death magic and possession.

Based around the mythology local to one of the Authoresses this imbues this tale with a richness not normally found in this kind of fare.

3.5 out of 4 stars


This book took me through the loops. I was so hopeful for Saurimonde in the beginning, and well you see how that goes right from the synopsis. Her life is a tale of hurt and sorrow.

As you will see her life after “death” is one of erotic love and vicious endings to the days she is forced to spend in the forest where she was left by her horrible excuse for a husband. The days go by and the people of the village keep disappearing.

The way this story twists I was on edge with what was coming next. I really didn’t see the ending coming. It caught me and I was actually super excited with some of the turns it took. With this type of a story you need to be kept interested and it definitely did its job there. It was also a very original story. It wasn’t one of those stories that you unknowingly compare to a similar in the genre. It was the type that you went in blind with what was coming next. Loved it.

The writing was great. It took a bit to draw me in, but once it did I really didn’t have trouble with it. The characters were well developed and you got a great picture of the era and the life styles you were dealing with. :) A great quick read for anyone. Mythics, romance, suspense, mystery all tied into one.
