It’s pretty much 400 pages of badly written smut.  I had sunk cost fallacy and finished it

This book is 90% smut and if you're into that you'll probably love it, like it starts on page 2. For me, I need a bit more other things going on besides literally constant sex for it to not become monotonous. But now I know that! I do think the poly relationship is done fairly well (maybe a tad too much jealousy at the beginning, but they seemed to grow out of it).

I didn't hate it, didn't absolutely love it, but it was semi likeable, there were good moments and kinda boring and repetitive moments too.

Mina, a dhampir, is sent by her father to marry and be impregnated by a bloodline vampire, after coming (literally) to an understanding, Malachi and Mina work together to over throw her father in this delicious spicy vampire story

It was a really great book. There was an error that I picked up on earlier on that made following the rest of the chapter a little meh but overall couldn’t put it down

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 found the plot severely lacking. Too many random additions to the story. Vampires not enough for you, here have some angels, demons, shape shifting, magical powers, and don't forget the pregnancy sprinkled on top. The smut started page 3 and never stopped. I'm all for alot spice but 500 pages of non stop repetitive porn...pass...
