Praise for the IAD series is shouted from the rooftops by so many folks and the bones of the series are pretty awesome, but not gonna lie, this was a rough start for a series for me. Not only was the consent dubious in the best of circumstances, it was outright assault in others. I know the romance genre had come a long way in recent years, especially to move away from these kinds of tropes, but I trusted in my sister and fellow bookstagram readers to get through the most cringe-worthy moments. 

I enjoyed watching Emma come into her own over the course of the novel. Lachlan still has a lot to learn when it comes to communication and respect of boundaries, but he started to grow a bit as a character, which was nice to see. I enjoyed the book enough to want to continue the series. Here's hoping the rest of the series can get away from the SA tropes.

Too much of the behavior in this aligned with r*pe culture, and it made it hard to get into the book and to suspend belief.

This was an excellent choice to pull me out of a book slump. Dark paranormal romance with enemies to lovers & fated mates tropes. Off the bat, we get the Lore, a catalog of the paranormal creatures of this universe, ranging from vampires to Lykae to Valkyrie and others.   I was immediately enthralled by the characters’ journeys, the lore, and the politics between the groups in contradiction to the couplings we begin to see. My only complaint is the book does seem to wrap up pretty neatly after I had expected an overarching plot through the series, but I’m guessing each book will feature different couples. I’ll certainly be picking up the next installment. 

Spice: 4/5 (2 words: blood blowjob)
