Hi there! I hope you are all safe and sound, pornies. I come with a new book revew that you will enjoy a lot if you like complex characters, drama and a light dose of fantasy and adventure. I finished reading Saviors: Duty and Sacrifice 1, by Devon Vesper, and liked it a lot. Thanks to Gay Book Promotions for sending me a copy of this book and next ones!
I felt this novel shorter than it is due to the style. You can read it quite quickly and enjoy the details, the scenes, the descriptions, and have the whole experience. The characters are too human and it's easy to like them as well (the main characters, of course; Valis' family, except for his mother, is a nice piece of bullsh*t, thak you very much,) but they allhave their flaws. No one's perfect here, which is great!
Valis made a real change through the book, from a broken, insecure boy to a more confident one, he is in the path to heal hiself from years of verbal and physical abuse. He has some serious issues, and although he worked with them in this book, there's still too much to be done in that regard. I think I know what is about to happen, but I'll leave the door open for surprises.
There were scenes a bit too slow for me, where descriptions and details took to much space, and there's a certain scene near the end of the book that seemed a bit hasty, but that would have been better in the next books. I was a sad to have that possibility erased, along with the low dose of fantasy I got, to be honest. Those are my only issues with this novel, although I still liked it.
Devon has a nice style, she enjoyes what she does and makes the reader feel that all the time. Saviors: Duty and Sacrifice 1 is a good starting point for the saga, gives you nice elements to build your expectations, and ends in one of those lovely-hateful cliffhangers. It was a good reading that will leave you wanting for more. The good news are that I already have the next books, hehe, so here it goes for a read-athon!

Trust is more terrifying than any weapon. Valis’ father wants to sacrifice him to the evil God, Qos. His uncle wants to use him as a magical battery and sex slave. All Valis wants is to live in peace, without fear of constant abuse. When he escapes his father’s sacrificial knife and runs away, he lands in the camp of his two saviors, Kerac and Darolen, holy Aesriphos warriors powerful enough to put his family in their place. But trusting anyone could be fatal, and the warriors ask the impossible: to sell his father’s farmstead and abandon his old life to join their monastery. They’re his only hope and when he learns to trust them, they’re the father figures he always wanted, but Valis isn’t sure he’s strong enough to put aside his fear and start over.

About Devon Vesper:
Born on a Navy base in Patuxent River, Maryland, Devon has traveled the world, living in Sigonella, Sicily for three years, and visiting many European countries before moving back to the states around the age of seven. She’s lived in Florida for sixteen years, Oklahoma for a year, and Pennsylvania for the rest. She graduated from surgical technology school near the top of her class in 2004, and uses her medical and worldly knowledge to enrich her books whenever possible. Since she has bipolar disorder, PTSD, social anxiety disorder, general anxiety disorder, clinical depression, and has trouble leaving her house due to all that, Devon works full time as an author and editor, and spends as much time as she can talking to other authors and her readers.
