e_freckles's review
I feel the description of this book could do with a few changes as this was not at ALL what I had been expecting to read. Less gothic romantasy, more horny spice feast that just happens to be set in Hell. I even skipped ahead a few chapters to see if the plot picked up a little but was met with a strangely flat-feeling sex scene instead. No discredit to the book itself, nor the author, as I know this type of thing will be right up a lot of people's streets. Just not for me.

Was expecting gothic fantasy but this reads like a fanfic. Made it through a couple of chapters before giving up and skimming the rest. Amateurish writing, gratuitous sex scenes (which are all described pretty much identically and grind the plot to a halt) and flat characters made this a DNF for me. Not my cuppa.

I liked the pacing of it but I feel like it was missing some parts in the middle. I can deduce what happened but I wanted to read more or see more on the pagem so to speak. But I do love the pairing of Lo and Verona, with all of their faults and flaws. I wouldn't mind reading more about them.
