80% smut. At least. Hopefully that's your thing. Also, big F U to capitalism, which I love.

3.0

When the monster-filled company of Claws merges with the witch-filled company of Warts, Inferna the Succubus, Art the Witch, and Calen the Omega witch find themselves not only in the middle of a corporate nightmare but also a sinfully sexy threesome.

I wish this was just a little bit longer. I liked a lot of the elements going on in the story, but they all needed a little more time to develop. The three main characters all had a lot of potential but I never felt like I got to know them outside of the relationship. Inferna is dominant, Calen is submissive and Art is a grumpy switch. There are a few outside details sprinkled in but they never felt organic. We've got fated mates which isn't my favorite, but that's pretty clearly telegraphed from the get-go so that's more a me-problem than anything else.

Similarly, the plot busted through was too fast. Everything happens within a week and we're talking about some major details.

The merger of two businesses happens overnight. There are immediately hostile and suspicious characters that step in. Calen is kidnapped for being an Omega which he just found out about! Challenges are solved almost as soon as they are introduced and the ending is waved off with the deus ex machina murder of two baddies.

. If the story had had a bit more time to breathe I think I would have enjoyed it more.

On the plus side, the smut was top-tier with all sorts of kinky monster stuff going on. If you're new to the monster smut genre this might be overwhelming but it's excellent for the old pros. I liked this enough as a popcorn kind of read that I'll probably check out another entry in the series.

I went into this booking thinking it would be a fun and sexy romp, and for sure it was. I just wasn't expecting myself to enjoy it quite as much as I did. I think I learned a bit about myself reading this book, or rather confirmed a few things I think I knew but this was like a neon sign saying "If you didn't know before, this is your 100% confirmation you're into this." I don't hate it.

More plot than I was expecting. This was also better than I expected. I think I may just finish the series

This was... Something. I wasn't expecting it to be anywhere near as smutty as it was, so it caught me off guard from page one 😂 I'm not complaining, I was just surprised.

So basically this is an office romance with two witches and a succubus. It's fast paced with a lot of spice, and some decent external conflict.

I like that the book didn't end on a cliffhanger, but with the HR epilogue, left me wanting to continue the series rather than just be happy with the HEA at the end of this book.

Also, definite in my femdom era. After Mercy and now this, I feel like I've been tragically missing out because Inferna was 🔥🔥🔥
