REVIEW: THE RAPPER’S GROUPIE is the fourth novella in TM Smith’s adult BLOOD COVEN WORLD erotic, paranormal/fantasy series-a spin off set in the author’s Blood Coven Series. This is rock star/animus demon D Monz, and Firebrand witch Celie’s story line. THE RAPPER’S GROUPIE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous instalments is revealed where necessary.

Told from omniscient dual third person perspectives (Celie and D Monz) THE RAPPER’S GROUPIE follows in the wake of death threats against our story line hero. D Monz is a world famous musician, and he has attracted the wrong kind of attention for his back stage antics. As a rock star and animus demon, D Monz feeds off of orgasms and $ex, and in this, D Monz is now facing the ire of an angry fan. Enter Firebrand Witch Celie, who has been assigned to protect our story line hero. Constantly needing to feed, D Monz finds himself with a new source of food, the woman with whom D Monz will fall in love. What ensues is the building relationship between Celie and D Monz, and the potential fall-out as the death threats become more dangerous and personal.

The relationship between Celie and D Monz begins acrimoniously as Celie is revolted by D Monz’ apparent us of all the females but D Monz needs to feed regularly, and in an effort to protect the man with whom she will fall in love, Celie offers herself up as lover and nourishment. D Monz is a bit of a manwh*re, and in this, his reputation precedes his introduction to our story line heroine.The $ex scenes are intimate and provocative without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are introduced to the members of the band: Riot, Beast and Helms: publicist Lonnie, manager Marko, as well as several groupies and fans.

THE RAPPER’S GROUPIE is a story of obsession and madness, betrayal and revenge, acceptance and love. The fast paced novella is intriguing and entertaining; the romance is hot and heavy; the characters are desperate and determined.
