I pulled this from the bookbox and ended up reading it in one quick sitting, so I'll be putting it back in the bookbox before sending it on.

I really liked the characters of O (Orchiee Fairchild, exorcist, pogo stick rider, sex fiend) and his golem-like companion, Doodoo. Due to magic, Doodoo is usually seen as a dog to everyone but O, which is hilarious when he does things like make tea or fight. The basic plot was O helping out at a college, where a little pixie demon was taking over a professor and causing everythng from bad feelings to rape. One of his students, concerned, asks O for help... which O gives in a number of ways. I didn't see a few twists coming, so that was enjoyable. As was te sex; there's a WHOLE LOT of it, and some of the scenes were actually pretty darn hot. The language was pretty strong at times when I didn't think it was actually called for--as if the author was going extreme just to save words and move the plot along faster. Otherwise, I really liked the story. It's a more cartoony style, so I didn't expect to like it from first sight, but it's done well and, like I said, some is pretty sexy. It's a nice mix of plot and amusement and heat.

I really loved the bonus story, "Special Treatment" as doctor fics can be delightful.
