COURT OF NIGHTMARES 🖤🕷️
I still don't know how to feel about this book. I loved den & vipers and thought it would bring the same vibes but with a dark fantasy aspect. WOO well let me tell you it did but it also didnt live up to my expectations. There was more smut than plot but we like that around here sometimes 🫣
Court of Nightmares is a RH. You get introduced to Althea (Thea) the FMC, right off the gate. She lives in a world filled with supernaturals. As vamps, society and mates are all they know. She was born from one of the most powerful seers but can't seem to harness the powers she was given. Because she was destined for something bigger. But one day her mate denies her and she goes through lots of trauma & loses her humanity for a bit. Later on, She gets thrown into a life with 7 blood kings (yes i said 7!!!) who judge the morally corrupt in the Court of Nightmares. ALSO who wouldn't want to be worshipped like these men do to Althea?! The smut was steaminggg but there was also some questionable smut at times (but who am i to kink judge 😂)
Overall, this book was HOT if you want a quick smutty read after reading a big book. And i loved getting to read all of the kings stories and how they came to be as a blood king.
Tropes
🖤Rejected Mate
🖤Found Family
🖤Reverse Harem
🖤Dark Romance
🖤Paranormal

<Spoiler> Nowhere in the description does it say that this book is Reverse Harem. There are seven partners and one woman, who they all view as something for sex. This book also has so much sex that it overshadows the plot and the story line of the book. <Spoiler>
