4.5

As someone who does not read smut often at all I was hella into this ! This was recommended by a friend, and the Gargoyles intrigued me. The writing here is actually very well done, and the characters are fully fleshed out. Everyone has their own personality; there is no way you could confuse characters.

The world this story takes place in is also quite interesting. The magic, the paranormals, the interactions, just everything made me want to know more about this world. Grace's powers in particular are fascinating, and I love how much she connects with and adores her power.

Every spicy scene felt natural; nothing felt forced, or out of place. I thought they were well timed in the story, and that there was a great variety in the scenes themselves, so they never felt repetitive.

The reason this is a 4.5, and not a 5, is that
the deceived part of this book happened way too much. There are 3 instances where the same character has to come clean about something, and it just got to be a, "omg, really, again !?" sort of situation.


Overall this book really took me by surprise. I started it, and just had to finish it, so I ended up reading until 3am ! Definitely going to be checking out the Kraken story next...

Grave and Elliot and Broderick and Alasdair are such a wonderful polycule, and I love them together. Grace trying to find her place in a found family when her family are a bunch of dicks and finding that family with the gargoyles and her best friend was extremely satisfying. I loved this book.
