This is a paranormal romance/erotic thriller — but it’s more than that. There’s wacky cult shit, ghost hunter investigations, sexy demon summoning circles, top tier spice, and an engrossing plot. Definitely check the content warnings before reading.

I really enjoyed reading this book. The main characters are interesting and their story got me out of the classic dark romance with a stalker or mafia because we use fantastic for once. The plot was thrilling + you had some thriller/horror notes.

This book was absolutely amazing and exceeded my expectations. The smut was super spicy, and I loved the descriptions of the creatures and God. Really interesting concept, can wait to get books 2 and 3.

It wasn’t my favorite book of all time, but it was a good book. The plot kept me interested, although the ending seemed to drag on a bit to hit all the points the story needed to hit. But I didn’t hate it.

it’s the “babygirl” for me…but not in a good way

i went into this with high expectations, as id heard lots about it! harley is a figurehead in the dark romance genre, and their books are hyped in the booktok community

i did enjoy it…i liked the world-building, the plot, the tropes…but i didn’t love the characters much, especially rae, she just read as very impulsive and didn’t seem to care much for her own safety at all…im not opposed to an irrational character or one that is willing to risk themselves for their loved ones, but she just felt a bit naive and childish with her impulsive tendencies

and leon, a demon who falls in love with a human after knowing her for like a month…he’s immortal and yet he falls for her so quickly? and i’ll say it again…the babygirl pet name gave me the ick so hard

it’s crazy how one thing can make or break a reading experience
