It was fine. I enjoyed it, though I had to push myself to finish the last 40% of the book. The series is cool, but I’m glad the rest of the books aren’t out, because it gives me a reason to take a break from them. I really want to see how the relationship blooms in the other hunted couples, but I’m so tired of the instant love trope, most of the time it’s miscommunication that causes most of the plot. 
Though I can’t really expect a lot from a fun romance book, I just kind of wished there was a little more substance to it. Otherwise, it’s alright.

Kinky monster smut, actual emotional stuff, some wisdom, some questing adventure and different cultures, some kindness, some fated mate bonding, a pervert god, and some light fluffy fun. Not bad for 200ish pages, especially considering it’s got decent writing (the kind that is good enough not to be distracting, but not pretentious enough to steal thunder from the story).

DID NOT FINISH: 44%

They broke the rules of no stink to the pink.... also no prep?? Aaaack! Can't do that. Also personal pet peeve is when she is horny for boinkin at very inconvenient times (or when it's against the rules!)

Tattoos. Mate bonds. Fated soulmates. And they can feel each other’s emotions through their bond?! Sold. Definitely want more from the side character stories eventually too

✍️ Fated mates, miscommunication, commitment issues
Lighthearted and 75% smut. It’s.. fine. The writing is tolerable, plot is fine if cliched and predictable. There’s a lot of sappy nonsense about fate and the meaning of love and communication. Don’t get me wrong, I love sappy nonsense, but in this case it didn’t feel earned-they fell in love in about a week, and most of it was just them having sex. Lots of telling not showing. Could’ve been better in my books if it focused on the world building—the Kueengdom and the Ithaquan deities were cool. 

🌶️ primal play, pegging, anal and DP, autofellatio
The sex is there but imo not the best. I can’t believe they committed the car(di)nal sin of anal: they did anal before vaginal! Wtf. Also anal without any preparatory stretching or anything. Plus I’m not sure how to feel that she thought their first time was a lucid dream…yeah idk.
