This book has a great introduction. The first scene really hooked me. It was nerve-wracking and had one of the best introductions. I wish it lived up to the hype.
Nina the heroine of the story is a blind, abused, non-human being. All she ever knew was pain and torture until she escaped. She was falsely accused of murdering an important person (though it was fairly obvious that it was impossible to happen) and got sentenced to imprisonment in Nightmare Penitentiary, a labyrinth-like prison for the most dangerous paranormal criminals.

She was sweet and innocent. I normally did not like heroines like this because most authors make them doormats, but Nina was not like that. Her kindness was her strength and her softness was refreshing to see. Her naivety and innocence were not annoying to me. I loved her.
Now, as for the heroes:
Kai, the dragon shifter, leader of the group, and king of the prison.
Damien, a psychopathic assassin mage, Kai’s right-hand man.
Cain, the sex demon with a whole lot of sexual trauma and PTSD, half of the demon twins, and the one who did not automatically want to jump the heroine.
Abel, the trickster demon and the other half of the twin and the charming one.
Bronson, the big bad shadow wolf who wants to take care of and protect the heroine at all costs.
Rion, the crazy tiger shifter who could also shift into a cat, is even more unhinged than Damien and he talks a lot.
These guys are all Nina’s mates. Yes, it was one of those things. I did not mind the instalust and instalove going on in here because I was focused more on how these guys (ehem they’re criminals) take care of Nina. I had lived vicariously through her.
They don’t have that much to offer, and I cannot judge each of them since there was no character development involved in this one.
While I did love the characters of this book, everything else was meh. I finished this one just to see what will happen to them. And reading the second book did not help in the way that I wished it had.
I have nothing to say about the plot and the ending was even more unsatisfying.
