Demon of Dreams by Spencer Spears

Cory Dawson’s life has never been easy. He’s 18 years old, working two jobs, and stuck in a small town he desperately wants to escape.
But when a talking raven, prophetic dreams, and murderous monsters appear out of nowhere, his life goes from bad to downright demonic.
He runs away to Vesperwood Academy, a paranormal university that teaches students to control their powers. There’s just one problem—Cory’s an incubus, and his powers are distinctly more sensual than the average witch’s.
Cory needs the release that only comes from entering a stranger’s dream and submitting to their desires. And when those strangers all turn out to be men, Cory gets an awakening he never expected.
To make matters worse, Noah, his combat professor, seems to know something about him. He singles Cory out for his weakness—but his eyes won’t stop raking Cory over the coals.
Vesperwood is full of secrets and shadows, and even dreaming won’t keep Cory safe—not when demons stalk his dreams, seeking to control and kill him.
Can Cory unravel the mystery of his powers before dark forces take control? Or will he be at the mercy of his magic forever?

Demon of Dreams is Book 1 in Vesperwood Academy: Incubus. This dark gay romantasy series is high heat with a romance that evolves across all six books. It’s a little more intense than a contemporary Spencer romance, but it still has all the Spencer feels you know and love. It features forbidden romance, professor/student, and hurt/comfort themes with gay awakenings, daddy issues, mystery, and suspense. Demon of Dreams ends on a cliffhanger.
