This had been on my TBR forever and I had high hopes for it. I loved the cover and I thought this would be a nice little spicy read.

Where are the trigger warnings though? I thought maybe it was just because I listened to the audiobook, but I checked the Kindle edition and there's none. From what I can tell there's none on the author's website either. There's SA in this supposedly spicy book, and that's the extent of the smut.

The r* culture just being accepted and acceptable was really uncomfortable. This could have done something with that narrative and spoken to what a victim goes through, but instead Olli is SA'd and it felt like the book was trying to convince us and the characters that it wasn't actually SA.

Alright, ends on a cliffy, but overall a pretty good PNR novel. Reverse harem for you spicy readers but minimal spice in this one, but definitely lots of language. Loved the audiobook narrator. Really looking forward to seeing more of the Gifts and watching Oli’s story play out. I’m loving her friendship with Sage.
