TW ~ Sexual content Includes (all consensual): D/s master/pet dynamics, pain/pleasure play (extreme heightened sensation, no physical damage) includes mf, mmf, mmfmmmm, and mm content. , murder (off page discussion and on page action), violence (strangulation, gore, magical spoilery violence, all in scenes of action and conflict), past family emotional trauma
Hazel Nix have been part of the theater for a long time. Most of it lonely. She had found herself tired of the theater when things start to change. She finds herself interested in men and cautioned at the murders of her friends.
I loved the how everyone finally found a family and a place/ person where they can be themselves!

Better than the first, very erotic smut
This one has a plot. And more feelings. More pining and the threats and magic feel more tangible and real. Still so much sex, but it’s erotic and very descriptive. Kathryn Moon got more creative with this installment and it works. It may be that Hazel is a more relatable figure because she’s a working class girl (Esther was too, however she was immediately thrust into the lap of luxury so there’s just a different feeling to both women’s stories). This also was wrapped around a murder mystery so that was fun even if I guessed the murderer at the first body.
The monsters in this world are extremely varied. But the origins of them are glossed over heavily. Still, this book did better on explaining Hazels creature origins, and they were used to full extent in this story, so that was awesome.

I liked the addition of some murder mystery to the series, even though the resolution seemed a bit too abrupt. Even with the impressive page count.

Compared to the first book in the series, the plot line is a little more discernable amidst the spice. However, the conflict arching throughout the trilogy could have been resolved in one book.

I loved this book! My only hangup was the character and relationship dynamic of Constantin, but everyone else was lovely. I enjoyed that there was more of a polyamorous relationship than a strict reverse harem dynamic. The plot carried through from book 1 and translated really nicely onto new characters. The worldbuilding is so intriguing, and I appreciated the focus on the characters of the theater and other supporting characters that had minor appearances in book 1.
