Description
Minoru has spent his life attracting demons, but he’s learned to live with their unwanted attention. That is, until the night he rescues what appears to be a sickly stray dog—only to discover it’s actually a demon in disguise. Stripped of his true name, the demon has been left powerless, a shadow of what he once was.
To regain his strength, the demon binds Minoru into an unholy pact—one that demands more than just blood. Their nights together should be nothing more than transactional, yet as the demon's touch grows more possessive and Minoru’s defenses begin to wane, something unspoken stirs between them.

I somehow wasn’t aware that this has a historical setting, so I was a bit caught off guard at first. But I did like the setting in the end, as a lot of the behaviour can be explained by it. I liked the aspect of being able to see demons and the little child was really cute. However, I had hoped for it to be a bit more spicy and also that there was a stronger emotional connection. But none of it was the case unfortunately, which is why it did disappoint in the end on the romance front. Storyline-wise I enjoyed it and I also liked the slight mystery aspect in addition to the supernatural. Maru was also really fun as a character. Still, it is definitely not a favourite but it’s also not bad. Maybe, if I had different expectations and new about the setting, I might’ve gone into it with a different mindset and enjoyed it more. But alas, that’s unfortunately not the case.
