“She was an anomaly to me, a unique enigma, and as much as I tried, I could not break into her vaulted mind.”

I read a lot of fan-fiction. I am a firm believer in HEA (Happy Ever After) endings. I'm in no way an angst junkie. Or at least I wasn't until I was corrupted by Elusivekoolaid (Elusivetwilight). LambCullen also played her part in my conversion.

Not having read very many vamp-fics I was wary of starting one about an Incubus. Truly, having gone from one of Elusive's first offerings, The Rain Season, which I adored and had the pleasure to beta, to Incubus Anomaly is very much like a fire and ice scenario. I felt like Bella in Eclipse, torn between two passions. I wanted to stay in the All-Human world with some minor angst and HEA's but I was being pulled toward this dark vampire and his addiction to my blood...sorry, Bella's blood (excuse my fantasy).

“Her blood hummed and sang in her veins, like a perfect song, of which, I could only catch a couple of notes.”

Something about this Edward and this Bella has drawn me into their world. It has corrupted my innocent mind (pfft!!) in a most deviant and delicious way.

If you like your ‘Bellas’ weak and indecisive and needy then this Bella is not for you. From her chain-smoking, to her leather-clad motorbike riding self to her kick-boxing, this Bella is a bad-ass. Utterly hardcore! And, you will discover, she is this way for a reason. She has her own dark past that has made her become who she is today, but it’s not all dark in Bella’s world, so don’t worry.

Edward struggles with his need for Bella and her blood. This need goes against everything he has trained himself to be. But, much like the reader and this story, he can’t get enough.

“Fear was a strange bedfellow for me. Could I afford to lose the parts of myself I have developed over the last century? Could I allow light into places inside me I had allowed to grow dim? A modicum of human instinct and emotion existed somewhere within me. Could the caged beast exist alongside my dormant human self?”

The fiery passion between these two is written so well, I would recommend a purchase of new underwear before you read or better yet don’t wear ‘em at all. The heat emanates from the page and will make you sizzle.

Elusive is not afraid to challenge the reader in their concept of how a character should behave and certainly doesn’t pander to ‘how Stephenie would have done it’. Elusive does it better and Stephenie would be shocked to her Mormon core!

She is also not afraid to cross boundaries with her characters and you will be left open-mouthed in shock at certain twists and turns this amazing story takes you on.
Enjoy it, and as always, Be Safe

"Oh God!"
"Trust me, he's watching."
With those four words, I was already hooked, already in lust with this cocky character, and I didn't even know who it was. Of course, we're not done yet.

"Deeper, please go deeper."
I watched as she bit her lip, while I thrust into her. I lifted her legs up higher and the movement caused me to slide further into her slick wet passage.”
You have my attention. I read on, captivated by the passionate scene, then later...

“...I quickly found her femoral artery. It was easy enough, I had done it a thousand times over to a thousand different women. Making a small incision, I lapped at the blood that gurgled from the wound. She sighed and gasped in her sleep while I fed.”
Oh I see.


After the prologue we are sucked into the unique, layered world that ElusiveTwilight created for our fair Bella to live in. Not your typical girl, she's a tough, motorcycle riding, smoking, leather pants wearing chick. She's so real. She is perfectly flawed, having her share of insecurities, vices and skeletons in her closet.

Edward is wonderfully dark; a sex demon who is slapped upside the head by Bella's scent, her silence, her beauty., He's just moved to a house on the opposite side of the street from Bella. We watch as, over time, he is pulled into Bella's orbit, despite actively fighting the light that she brings into his existence.

“Fear was a strange bedfellow for me. Could I afford to lose the parts of myself I have developed over the last century? Could I allow light into places inside me I had allowed to grow dim? A modicum of human instinct and emotion existed somewhere within me. Could the caged beast exist alongside my dormant human self?”


Throughout the story he struggles with these issues, these emotions. The author navigates the waters of Edward's inner turmoil without turning him into a simpering boy, or a fluffy flower bearing devotee of the House of Bella.


The supporting cast in this fic are deeper than you typically find. ElusiveTwilight manages to avoid cliches at every turn, giving us a likeable Jessica, a mysterious Marcus, and a Newton that I couldn't hate. The big surprise here is the Cullen family itself. She's has made them authentic too, dysfunctional rather than perfect. Bella has her own tangled web of family dynamics that's fully believable and relatable.


The entire story is riddled with delicious sexual tension, dark humor, angst and action. You see all sides of Edward, my favorite being the hunter. You see a brave Bella, so easy to root for. The sex is passionate and raw. The characters and setting are multi-faceted and very well written. You won't regret a minute spent with this fic.
