Our Review
The Setup
Alex is directionless. His life has fallen apart, and he does not have much to show for his time on this planet. Then he discovers his best friend Brianna is a werewolf, and everything changes. She takes him on a road trip to a coastal city where humans and paranormals live side by side, introducing him to her circle of sexy supernatural friends. What starts as a bold new chapter becomes a full transformation: from isolated slacker to a man in loving polyamorous relationships with vampires, werewolves, succubi, and other supernatural women.
This is the complete series in one package, which means you get the full arc from beginning to end without waiting between installments. For Kindle Unlimited readers who want to binge a finished paranormal harem, the timing is right.
What Works
This is the most emotionally resonant thing Misty Vixen has written. Where Monster Girl Inn coasts on cozy vibes, Parasexual digs into real feelings. Alex’s journey from loner to someone genuinely loved by multiple women has weight to it. The paranormal elements are not just an excuse for exotic encounters; they create a world where outsiders find each other and build something meaningful together. Long-time Vixen fans consistently rank this as her best work, and it is easy to see why.
The variety of supernatural women keeps the harem dynamic interesting. Each paranormal type brings distinct lore, distinct physicality, and distinct relationship energy. The vampires operate differently from the werewolves, who operate differently from the succubi, and those differences create genuine variety in how Alex relates to each partner. The community-building aspect feels authentic, with a sense of place and belonging that elevates the story beyond typical paranormal romance.
What Doesn’t
The open-relationship dynamic is the most divisive element. Brianna, the werewolf partner, openly sleeps with other people outside the harem. For readers who expect exclusivity as a core feature of harem fiction, this will feel like a dealbreaker. Some readers describe it as “sleazy” rather than progressive, and if the idea of your love interest being intimate with others outside the group bothers you, Parasexual will not be a comfortable read.
The social commentary is persistent and not always subtle. Vixen uses the paranormal-human dynamic as an allegory for real-world acceptance and tolerance, which is fine in principle, but multiple readers find the execution heavy-handed. When characters deliver thinly-veiled lectures about how judgmental modern society is, it pulls you out of the fantasy and into a sermon. A lighter touch would serve the themes better.
The sex scenes, while explicit and frequent, suffer from Vixen’s recurring issue: they become repetitive and eventually indistinguishable from each other. With a complete series worth of content, that repetition compounds.
The Heat
Solid 4 across the board. The paranormal variety ensures the explicit scenes have enough structural diversity to stay interesting, even if the execution sometimes runs together. Succubus encounters hit differently than werewolf encounters, and that built-in variety is an advantage. The frequency is high throughout the complete series, so readers will not go long stretches without heat.
Bottom Line
Parasexual is the Misty Vixen book to read if you have never tried her work, or the one to recommend to readers who think harem fiction cannot have emotional depth. The supernatural harem is well-constructed, the community-building is genuine, and the emotional arc gives the whole thing a weight that most entries in the genre lack. Just make sure you are comfortable with open-relationship dynamics before you commit. Available as a complete series on Kindle Unlimited, it is a satisfying binge for paranormal harem fans who want their fiction to actually make them feel something.
