DNF. The pacing was off and there was just too much going on

This book was not for me I guess. First of all, in the abstract it says that she was murdered but as far as I know that is not the case. The guys safe her and then before she's fully conscious of what is happening they mate with her, right there in the alleyway. So that is some dubcon. Also it's a very fast burn, maybe the first or second chapter.
And after that I feel kind of sorry for her. It's a bit of an omega verse and with the mating comes knotting. And the guys basically stand in line. And not just for the original mating, but every time they have time for a fuck they do it. They wait till the knot of the previous guy is done and the next one can start. I don't think that's healthy.
Storywise we have our FMC who is not strong at all. She is literally being carried throughout most of the action. She does get trained before the last trial, but you don't get to see it. Because she's half unconscious during that trial and has to be carried.
The timeframe is also not the best, they just get right into. I was really surprised with that, they were talking like the culling was still some time away and next thing you know they say that the calling is less than 30 minutes away.
There was no real time to get to know all the characters, except for Wrath. It kind off feels like the other guys aren't main characters.
Talking about Wrath his actual name is Lucifer, which he keeps a secret from her. I think it might have been nice if it was kept a secret from us as well?
The switching from calling them by their sin and calling them by their name was really confusing to me.

This was…fine? Everyone still felt like strangers by the end despite multiple lives spent together and apparent trauma bonding. It felt like a brick wall without any mortar. I liked the story premise but the execution felt lacking. I had a lot of questions by the end.

I discovered the Omegaverse-type reverse-harem erotic-romance subgenre during October, so, of course, I had to pick up Dragged Under for a Kindle Unlimited read.
The earth intro fortunately is short; it's a hot mess. We and the heroine get dragged into hell quickly with her sin-demons who fucked her on earth to save her live - or end it, that part isn't clear ... again the intro is a hot mess.
But then hell starts, and the paranormal erotic goodness starts. Lots of sex, lots of fighting, lots of info-dumps explaining this world. There is a big-bad ... but it isn't Lucifer, so we don't pant after that one. (Lucifer, though, (fan-face) - yep, the most pretty angel down there.)
A great sexy romp. You get to know all six of the males, each with a distinctive personality, which is impressive for a book of any length to establish six relationships for our heroine.
This isn't the best interpretation for a paranormal/fantasy book based on the seven sins I've ever run into. But it is good enough to spend a night curled up with.

Seven deadly sins
I can never turn down a seven sins novel, and this one was no different. I will admit that the Insta lust and Insta mate happened way too fast for me, but it works for lots of others. I did lose track of who was who with the initial three in the story since sometimes they are referred to by their names and by their sin at others and the reader isn't given enough time to see them individually. Overall, though, it was a decent read.
