*** Thank you NetGalley and Image Comics for the arc in exchange for an honest review! I’m incredibly grateful! ***

So I wouldn’t say this is not enjoyable, but you have to squint to find the plot under all the raunchy sex scenes. I’m all for the sexiness and darker parts to it, but some of it took away from the story in my opinion. Crave’s characters are very one note, but I still found myself liking a few of them. Sofia, Albert and Julie are the best of the lot!


This is a quicker read, but even then I felt it lacked the depth it needed and wrapped up so quickly that I needed to go back and make sure I understood it properly. The way this is marketed is on point, yet I still feel a little let down.
