Reading this book helped me cement why I haven’t enjoyed the few reverse harems I’ve tried reading. Katee Roberts writes polyamorous relationships so well! Usually there’s one person in the relationship that I really dislike but that wasn’t the case here because the characters weren’t caricatures of some trope. It also might have helped me that this was from a single POV rather than all four of the MCs. And besides the spice, the plot was fun. This was just a fun book to read! I was also super excited when I first saw Azazel! I wasn’t prepared for a little crossover but I loved it!

Seeing so many terrible reviews breaks my heart. I absolutely love this book. Is it all smut? YES. Is it well-written (smut)? YES. Is there plot?...yes. And I actually liked the plot a lot.

I mean, I know Katee’s books are far more p*rn than plot, but I would hope for at least a little plot.. you know. As treat. This book definitely reads as a Twilight fanfiction gone over complicated. There weren’t any real stakes (haha) and overall even the smut was.. not basic, but eh. But I did read it all, so it was at least not the worst book I ever read.

Horrible book. No story, only sex. The main character has no self worth and honestly, I found it tiring to hear her telling herself that she didn’t amout to nothing. I just wanted a girlboss that conquered her men by being powerful and charming and cunning. But she was none of them and she just met them because of Malachi and formed a bond with her seraph powers. So basically she was annoying and didn’t do anything.

...I understand, this is probably not what people are reading it for. That reason was spot on. The actual plot was lacking, mostly just there to fill in scenes between smut. Little to zero character description beyond 'surtain body parts'. Surprizingly had descent vampire lore I wish was explored more.

I'm a sucker for vampires, haha, and this book didn't disappoint. Also, as someone who read the deal with a demon series first, I loved seeing some crossovers. I love how much the guys want to protect and care for Mina in their own ways, and how she uses their knowledge to grow her own strength and abilities. 

When I realized there was a pregnancy trope I was a little concerned as I normally don't enjoy it, but I shouldn't have doubted that Katee would do it well. 

If you want a good enemies to lovers/reunited lovers trope and you love reverse harem then I'd absolutely give this book a read. Heads up that, as should be expected, it is very spicy.
