Heavy on the smut, light on the plot. Which I’m sure is more than fine if you’re in it for just the spicy shit. If you are, I 100% would recommend it. If not well….

The characters are annoying, and very reminiscent of characters from other forays into contemporary romance fantasy novels. Rae is super tiny and itty bitty and a brat with an attitude who falls for the demon Leon who is so so tall and growls and glowers and is so protective despite being a asshole for the first half of the book. Yawn. The sex wasn’t horribly boring so I’ll give them that.

Also a lot of important plot stuff kind of happens off screen. Like, important shit. Which…. huh? Odd.

So slow and so boring. 

I found this book in a shop and was intrigued by the really pretty cover and stenciled edges. I am a sucker for a pretty looking book.

This is a trilogy that shows the same event from the POV of three different couples. That event just happens to be a small town cult
Spoilertrying to wake up their elder god. Think Cthulhu but this one lives in a mine shaft.
The first book, Her Soul To Take, focuses on a young woman that the cult is
Spoiler stalking to be their final necessary sacrifice.
Rae was a likable FMC but she has absolutely 0 survival instinct and walks right into trouble. This frustrates the demon, Leon, that has taken a 'physical' interested in her.

The story is intriguing, I wanted to read the next book as soon as I finished this one just so I could see more angles of "the event" that occurred in Abelaum. Sex is spicy, very spicy. It's a little rougher than I would usually prefer to read but both the FMC and MMC are consenting. Consent is actually a really big deal in the book. Quite good (consensual) demon smut with a really interesting story woven in.
