A friendly reminder to check TWs, the author also has it in the front of the book.
I wish this had been more fleshed out, and Lilith didn't have a ton of personality, but I didn't mind either of those things too much. Letum was so kind, the small things he does for her made me smile, and giving her space to figure out what she needed was a step away from what most dark romances have. The nicknames could be a bit much sometimes but I won't really complain bc they were cute and it wasn't the exact same one over and over (looking at you, little mouse). Overall, more compassionate shadow daddies concerned for your mental health, please.
I'm not really into the tiddy slap variety of smut, buuuuut it was still probably spicier than almost anything else I've read before. I'm also still dipping my toes into true dark romance tho (they say, having read manacled in less than four days).
The ending was fine, idk why people are so pressed about it? I felt like it tracked pretty decently with context from the rest of the story.
Not the most groundbreaking of monsterfucking by any means, but nonetheless a good read for something quick, fun, spicy, and dark. I wouldn't be opposed to reading more from this author 🤷🏻♀️
