Travis and Cembran (Children of Bacchus) are living comfortable lives on their own land. Their love is as strong as ever, and they even have a trio of young satyr lovers who help them with everyday chores. A carnival rolls into town, so the group sets off for a night of fun. The fun takes a darker turn when they discover Vauk, a satyr held captive as a sort of sideshow freak. Horrified by the abuse Vauk endures, Cembran and Travis rescue him and he takes refuge on their land. It isn’t until a friend of theirs, Trent, comes along that Vauk slowly begins to reclaim the human side of his nature.
While Vauk and Trent forge a bond of friendship and love, Vauk’s past starts to catch up with him, threatening everything they hold dear.
Thursday’s Child is the wonderful sequel to Children of Bacchus. I greatly enjoyed revisiting Cembran and Travis, and their friends (Dovino, Phillip, and Jeremy) are a treat as well. My favorites, though, are Vauk and Trent. The (eventual) trust and love between them is beautiful to behold, and the devotion comes across perfectly.
As they are all satyrs, there is plenty of sex, but it never gets dull or repetitive. Throughout every moment, the love is clear and that drives them (as do their satyr natures).
If you enjoyed Children of Bacchus, you will love Thursday’s Child.
