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...

It’s like ACOTAR… if Tamlin was actually a good guy, so was Lucian, then Rhys turns up and they all go at it….
Polycule of fun with magic orgasams.
As long as you don’t mind blood.

I added this to my TBR quickly when I saw the author but this isn’t my favorite by Katee Roberts. I liked the Neon Gods series but that series had much more of a plot than this one. 

This book is almost entirely sex and very little plot and some of the little plot there is, revolves around sex. Nothing wrong with a RH smut book but I wish there was more happening than sex. 

I finished it because I was interested in how it turned out with her father, but this wasn’t the story for me.

Heavy on blood (they’re vampires, so yeah) and pregnancy troupe is a major plot point
