Hmm this ain't it, but dunno what I was expecting either tbh. A lot of teasing and hinting but a disappointing peak.

Wow! This was a really good book! I was surprised. I loved the storyline, world-building, & characters. The plot twist was creative and I didn't see it coming. It does kinda end on a cliffhanger but I would still recommend this.

I think this is a good start to what could be an interesting story. We are brought into the story pretty quickly which I enjoyed because there wasn't a lot of floundering or useless information. Now granted I would've like a bit more world building And more exploration of the characters but I'm sure there will be plenty of that in book 2. 
This book is about being a succubus but it is very light on the spice. I would rate it a 2/5 (contains descriptive kissing and touching but no complete sex scene) but I can expect the next book to be much spicer. 
With that being said I am very intrigued with the story and look forward to where it is going.
