Wow… just wow

This is exactly what I look for in a 5-star book. Wonderful writing, relatable characters and an interesting story line with unique aspects. I can’t wait to read the other book in this series!

4.5 stars. My favorite reverse harem, I love this series. This one started off slow and I had to go back and read the last few chapters of book two to remember what was going on. Eventually the pace picked up. I appreciate that while this book used the mind control trope it was very brief and resolved quickly. I also appreciate that the main character, who we are told is one of the most powerful beings in Faery, is actually powerful! I can't stand when a book tells us its MC's are super powerful and then when it comes to a fight they lose instantly (looking at you Zodiac Academy). It's also the first time in a long time that a book actually made me blush

the junk food of smutty KU fantasy romances. delicious for all the wrong reasons, but when the cravings hit, they hit, you know?

probably the best of the books in this series so far, with a cooler setting, interesting magic developments, and even better spice, but a muuuuuuch slower pace. these books are so short, so the slow pace doesn’t exactly feel as slow as it probably is — but i did find myself wishing for a little more action.

hot, easy to read (though skin-itchingly cringe at times — nothing LESS sexy than one of your boyfriends calling your other boyfriend ‘cookie monster’ during a spicy chapter), with enough actionable plot to keep me invested.

check out book 1’s review here, if a smutty why choose KU urban-ish fantasy romance sounds up your alley. or if you don’t mind cookie monster as a mid-coitus nickname.

so now Dom is also a part of the harem which is cute. He’s slowly wind me over even though he did try to kill her. I didn’t know this wasn’t the end of the series and there’s more books but it’s not out yet, but it was a good read
