I'd like to preface - I understand why so many people like this book. The author is an amazing writer and the character pool is so large that anyone can find their niche/kink. I think I made the mistake going into this book expecting something more plot driven, rather (what felt like) pure smut.
The overall premise of the story is interesting! Someone is going around killing female women linked to the Company of Fiends - and it's up to Hazel and her rag tag group of lovers to stop the killer.Unfortunately, the killer is exactly who you'd expect. Despite being built up as this big bad villain in an impenetrable fortress - Hazel and her crew are able to bring the Brisha's entire building to ruin in only a single chapter. It just didn't feel realistic? But it's also just a personal pet peeve when a conflict that takes 400+ pages to build on is finished in only a couple of pages.
I feel bad for giving this book such a low rating, but it just really wasn't for me. I would still recommend it to others, just with a better understanding of what to expect when you go into it.
