Delta is a paranormal ménage with some interesting elements. The story starts with some background on established couple Glen and Ethan, living happily together. Although both men are bisexual, they’re not looking for anything more in their relationship and are deeply in love. The fact that Ethan is psychic and Glen is a shapeshifter just adds a little spice to their lives. This detail is interesting and creates a good picture of a happy couple that deal with the little quirks of their lives.

Once they meet Lila the rest of the story feels like it’s just working its way to the climax scene. This made me impatient as a reader since all the lead up feels superfluous and merely drawing out the tension. I wished all the details and information would have added to the story in some way instead of merely marking time before the paranormal showdown.

The characters are decently developed and the relationship between Glen and Ethan is particularly nice. There is a happy for now ending and was purposefully left hanging, no doubt for future sequels. There were a few problems with the sequence of events, such as after the big showdown, Glen is walking around naked and no one thinks anything of it. There are also a few other details that weren’t explained or ignored that didn’t make much sense. The paranormal aspects are well crafted and interesting, although the concepts and relationships still feel too underdeveloped in some ways.

For a m/m/f ménage paranormal novella, this is interesting and the pages go by quickly with clean, crisp prose. The erotica scenes are quick and not explicit so readers are likely to enjoy this offering more for the concepts than those looking for lots of erotica. A decent story and one that is likely to have a lot of room to grow as well.
