Long story short, if you’re looking for some mindless monster action - this is the book for you. But don’t expect anything beyond that.
After reading the Sweetverse books, I was really looking forward to this one, but it was a bit of a letdown, to be honest. Lola & Baby’s RH stories had such thorough, well-rounded plots & characterization. This one is pretty much straight up erotica each & every chapter and, oddly enough, the best descriptor I can use is boring. I don’t understand how a monster RH could be boring, but this one showed me it’s possible!
Our MFC Esther’s only character trait is that she’s a gal who likes, no craves, sex. At one time, she even declares that “she’s just a girl who loves fucking.” More power to her, but that shouldn’t be the be-all & end-all of characterization, and I didn’t find anything else about Esther beyond this. Some of the fellas were sort of interesting (Booker, mainly), but overall, there just wasn’t much for me to engage with.
