Also, a shoutout to the first edition hardcover with the beautiful foiling, I was very glad that I got my hands on it!
The book is clearly adult, which can be seen both in writing and in the way the romance progresses. It was well-written, though again, I did wish the game was a larger plot point. My favorite books are still her YA works (Stalking Jack the Ripper), but this was still a good read. Especially if you want an adult romance novel with a little fantasy, this might be a good match!
I know I'll pick up the following book about the next prince of hell once it comes out.

This makes the smut feel so mundane it becomes a boring diversion from the actual plot and meaningful interactions between the main characters. If the smut was rarer in the book, it would feel more meaningful and make the story more balanced.
For added shock-value, there is meaningless violence, torture, and other possibly triggering events to cause diversion for the MCs from the main game in the plot. This dampened my enjoyment of the book.
If you are looking for a book with a nice premise for plot, interesting characters, but main focus on smut, you'll find a great match here.
