Interesting. Engaging. A new (to me) concept. It maybe got tied up a little quickly at the end (if you’ve read Anita Blake books, a little bit like how they typically end, with the story building slowly and the last chapter or two ties everything in a neat bow). Plot twists that I didn’t see from a mile away, but make sense in hindsight, and a few red herrings.
Ménage
Urban fantasy
Scarred heroine
‘Lacking’ ordinary FMC
Uncommon possibly unique fantasy elements
Mostly single POV with a chapter or two from another POV
Light MM
Age gap of decades but they’re attractive immortals and it doesn’t come up as much as you’d think

I'm not even sure I should be allowed to review Michaela Haze books anymore since I'm just so obsessed with them that it's impossible to not be biased. This read/was formulated exactly like all her other books, and I ATE IT UP. Done in a day.
Reviewing a fast-paced, standalone novel is always a challenge. Yes, there's always going to be a lack of complete world building. Yes, the relationships are going to feel a bit fast. Yes, it's going to conclude without every plot line wrapped up. But the benefit is that when you pick it up you aren't committed to a dang 7-book series!
I really liked the FMC in this one, and both MMCs grew on me as well. They were a little unserious considering their positions of power in the society, but it's fine, it was endearing. The world was unique, and I almost did wish this was a series because I would have liked to know more about it. There were some standard tropes and I won't say I was completely surprised by some of the twists, but this was a fun read and I'd recommend it to anyone. I almost thought we were going to not get a group scene and I was going to flip a table....the only thing I do wish, even if it meant another couple pages added to the length, was a little more affection between the two MMCs at the end. We got the m/m teaser early on, as well as a lot about how they care for each other, and then not even a kiss at the end.

So, I feel like the romance was a little weak and I really wanted more from the story, but I also absolutely didn't want to put this book down. Seriously. I was up 2 hours past my bedtime, then actually got up before my alarm to keep reading.
I just honestly wish I knew more. I have so many questions!

Entertaining with a great premise but this would’ve probably benefited from being a duet. The first portion of the book sort of drags on then the action was very quick and a bit anti climatic. Also the sex scenes and romance were a bit weak, I didn’t feel much between the characters.
