3.5

Spice level: 4.5 🌶️ 

Overall, I was intrigued by this book. Two morally grey male vampires and a “weak” FMC who gives her life over to become a vampire thrall. I wasn’t sure where the plot was going for the first little bit and whenever I thought I figured it out, more chaos was thrown our way. 

It’s a medium paced, fast to spice slow to love MMF story with a lot of explicit scenes that sometimes go on for multiple chapters. I was under the impression that it was going to be a high fantasy story with dark romance aspects but it felt too heavy on the adult hug interactions and not enough on what the plot was doing. 

The MMCs were an interesting characters but their “quick trust” that was just as easily broken and lack of trust completely ignored just as quickly which led me to a lot of eye rolling. I wish that there had been more plot development overall.
