Eh. I read this as a stand alone because it was suggested to me. I had high hopes hearing it was a forced marriage.
Spoiler alert…
It wasn’t.
Not a bad book, I just wasn’t a big fan. 3.5 stars

I think this book of the Underworld Kings series is my absolute favorite.
I loved how we got to go back during Amara’s story to see things from Claudia and Dmitry’s POV during some of the events. And to see how things progressed for Claudia while Dmitry was in prison.
That was such a sweet love story with a lot of delicious filthy heat. The mouth on Dmitry, good gods!
Jenika also set us up for what I hope will be the 5th book, and I can’t wait!

Jenika does it again; I can't get enough of all the possessive men she writes about.
Yes, this book is a slow burn, but it's so worth it!
I have been waiting to read Little Bird since she started teasing it, and it was worth the wait. I devoured this book; these two were panty-melting!!

i mean if u want more smut than plot this one’s for you
I absolutely love this book. With the way Jenika wrote Dmitry, it felt like he was sitting right next to whispering dirty things in Russian. It is like you can feel his accent. I like how strong Claudia is but is also willing to be submissive to Dmitry and Dmitry only. I also love how possive Dmitry gets towards Claudia. I mean he gives her "presents" from the man he killed because the man talked to her. I voluntarily reviewed in exchange for an arc.

Jenika Snow (Underworld Kings)
I was so excited for this one, but it just fell so short for me. The tropes were everything I could have wanted & more, so I was thrilled when this finally released. And then made it my first read of 2023. I really don't know what happened here, but I just didn't connect with either main character at all. Wasn't much suspense or drama. There was plenty of spice, though so it hit the marks there.
I was more invested in Amara & Nikolai (side couple) than the main couple. They were adorable.

I love this series and Jenika Snow...and these tropes?! So this should have been a homerun for me, but I found it to fall a bit flat. All the makings a JS story that I'd ravenously consumed...but just not my favorite. Fortunately it's super bingeable, and a fast read- but certainly not the best of the series.
The tropes are all here, the background delicious, SO MUCH of the architecture is just perfect. But I felt like the story never really went anywhere- we spend way too much time in the past, too much focus on characters' whose stories we've already heard (at times it felt more like a bonus story than their own), and the chemistry never evolved in the way I thirsted for- never deepened from the forbidden lusty steam to something some substantial. The dimension and layers I find in my most favorite of Jenika's smuttfests wasn't here, and perhaps because I LOVE LOVE LOVE the premise, my super heightened expectations made something solid feel lukewarm, too. Because I wanted so badly to be obsessed since everything I adore is part of the set-up. Still love this series, though, and excited to see what Jenika creates next.
