Straight up PWP. You could condense the plot down to 20 pages out of the 160. Honestly the plot was interesting but I don't really see a deep connection between the main characters.  I forced myself to finish the last 30 pages. Not sure if I'll finish the series anytime soon.

I loved the spice but the plot wasn’t doing it for me. I wish there was more time in between suitors. Also MC fell a bit flat for me.

The plot twist was spoiled in a way and sometimes the man characters gave me a headache. I would recommend this if anyone wanted to read a poly relationship in a fantasy setting.

Normally I love Katee Roberts, however, I did not love this book. It felt rushed with no character or plot development. The initial spicy scene threw me off right away and I felt uncomfortable. I won’t be reading the series.

• straight up smut and it was hot as hell
• I’m not even going to pretend to have understood the reasonings behind any of the “rituals”
• definitely needed to be longer, I need more slow burn angst

TWs: dubious consent, breeding, knifeplay, blood play, abusive parent (father)

Short and smut filled vampire romance. This was face paced and enjoyable to read, there was a plot throughout the book. It did take a back seat to the sexy time throughout the book. And there was quiet a bit of spice for this short 150 page novella. I enjoyed breezeing through this entertaining and fun book.

Vampire book so lots of descriptions of vampires feeding (blood). Erotic book so sex scenes are described in detail.

Mina’s father beat her after she tried to run away, she starts the book with a bad knee injury. Mina’s father emotionally abused her in the past; it’s referenced. Malachi trapped in his home due to a spell.
