My Yours, Insatiably Book Review - No Spoilers
Plot Summary
I wanted an unusual, fiercely intimate monster romance with a workplace twist, which led me to Yours, Insatiably by Aveda Vice. This is the second book in the Hunger Duet, and it jumps right into the complicated push and pull between Avirin, a hungry, ambitious succubus trying to hide her monstrous nature, and Pye, her bold, death’s-head hawkmoth fae coworker. Their professional lives get entangled with the secrets both are carrying, especially after a charged encounter that neither can forget. They try to hold the line as friends, but the rules fade fast when Avirin is drawn into a world she’s denied herself for too long. Every moment between them simmers—with hunger, longing, and the danger of discovery. The story doesn’t waste time on slow pacing; instead, it delivers sharp tension, vivid supernatural office politics, and the challenge of learning to trust someone with your truest self.
Avirin’s journey is more than romance—it’s about learning to feed her own desires without shame, even in a world that doesn’t always accept who she is. There’s rich monster lore and sensuality woven through each chapter, set against the equally stressful and familiar setting of office work. The plot follows the fallout of that first night, how one mistake unravels tightly held secrets, and the push for both leads to embrace the parts they’re taught to hide.
Why I Love This Book
I love how this book lays bare the characters’ vulnerabilities and desires without apology. Avirin’s hunger isn’t just physical—it’s emotional, even existential, and I connected with her struggle to stay true to herself in the face of expectation and fear. Pye is chaotic, magnetic, and has this deep respect for Avirin’s boundaries that made me root for every interaction. Their banter brings levity, but I’m here for the raw honesty in their moments of need.
The sexual tension is fierce and constant—it’s as much about wanting to be seen as it is about wanting each other. I love how the fantasy elements blend with very real office worries, creating this hybrid world where monsters do paperwork and flirt by the copy machine. The explicit scenes are powerful; they drive the growth of trust and intimacy instead of feeling thrown in for shock. That’s rare.
The book doesn’t shy away from what makes each character monstrous or human. It faces issues of shame and belonging head-on, and the result is messy, honest, and deeply satisfying. There’s no sugar-coating, and I appreciate that. Every emotional beat is earned.
Who Will Like This Book
If you like monster romance, strong consent, and open communication, you’ll love this one. The dynamic between Avirin and Pye is spicy, sometimes brash, but always honest. If you appreciate explicit, high-heat scenes and relationships where power plays out both in and out of the bedroom, this book delivers.
