If you are looking for a super spicy MMMF vampire/supernatural story with the absolute thinnest possible plot stringing together explicit sex scenes then this is the book for you!

I cannot in good conscience give this higher than 2 stars because the closest we get to a plot across 500-ish pages is:

Mina’s father hates her and gives her to a sexy vampire stuck in his house as a blood source and sex toy. Two other sexy vampires show up. She breaks the ward on the house with a powerful orgasm to allow them all to leave because she’s actually part seraph. They’re on the run and bonded together. Her father captures the vampires. She meets a monster hunter who makes a deal with a demon to free them. She gets pregnant and kills her father, making her the new leader of their vampire clan.

But it is very sexy and sometimes that’s all you need. Serious content warnings (see below) although I think anyone with these triggers can read the summary and know this isn’t for them.

Content warnings:
Blood, Gore, Injury Detail

Three of the characters are vampires so this is self explanatory. They fight, the share blood, etc.

Murder

Mina brings 3 men to the vampires for them to feed on after their escape from her father, Mina murders her father

Pregnancy

The trio and Mina are actively trying to get her pregnant so she can become her father’s heir, she does become pregnant but there’s no graphic birth scenes

Rape

This is mostly dubious consent at the beginning, there’s a scene where Mina goes to a bar looking for people to feed the 3 vampires and some men drug her drink in an attempt to sexually assault her but she only pretends to be drugged and knocks them out to bring them to the vampires

Sexual Content

Duh

Violence

See: blood, gore, injury detail & murder

I wouldn’t say this book was life-changing, by any means…but the characters were fun and the smut was good. Solid read if you’re looking for a blush-worthy vampire romance!

Rating: ⭐️⭐️.5
Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
Tropes: Reverse harem, MMMF, Forced proximity,
POV: Single - Mina

Unfortunately I did not enjoy this one 😔. Essentially this whole book was just page after page of vampire smut. Essentially this was 80% smut 20% plot at best. But if Katee Robert knows one thing it is definitely writing some good smut.

A paranormal reverse harem romance combining all three novellas in the Bloodline Vampire series. This in turn lead to quite a bit of repetition when we moved through the three acts.

Mina is a dhampir, meaning she is half human, half vampire with no magic of her own. She is a complete disgrace to her Father and as such she is sent away by her to live with Malachi Zion, a bloodline vampire, and produce an heir to his slowly dwindling bloodline.

Shortly after Wolf and Rylan, two more bloodline vampires enter the mix and Mina becomes their everything. Their new mission is to take down Mina’s power hungry Father, impregnate her and crown her the Queen.

This novel is steamy don’t get me wrong. Robert knows how to write some awesome smutty scenes but that is all it really was for me. The little plot that was woven through this felt wayyy too farfetched for me and I just couldn’t get passed that. I found myself skimming paragraphs and that isn’t something I normally do.

⚠️ Content Warnings: Dubious consent, blood play, breeding, abusive parent (Father), patricide, pregnancy, blood, gore, murder, explicit sex, vomiting (cause pregnancy), discussions about abortion, attempted sexual assault, attempted drugging.

Writing: 3.5⭐️/5

The many grammar/spelling errors in this book did take me out of the writing. I’m not sure it’s actually not good writing, so much as it needed a bit more love during editing. Overall, it was more than enjoyable on a writing level.

Characters: 4.5⭐️/5

The characters were shockingly well-developed. Each love interest really felt like they had their own personality, motives, characteristics, and goals. Despite all characters ending up more or less obsessed with our main character, each still felt like their own person, which is honestly quite a feat in and of itself.

Plot: 3⭐️/5

Okay, so the non-sex plot of this book was a really intriguing idea. I love the vampires, the seraphs, and the history between the two. I would have loved for this to be much more fleshed out in detail because, while the potential was there, I don’t think we got quite enough of it.

The sex plot was about as contrived as it needed to be to make sense, though I did appreciate the attention to detail in order to make basically everything in this world sexy as hell.

Post-Reading Rating: 3.75⭐️/5

Again, I really liked the overarching story.
