A Venom Dark & Sweet was a book I wanted to read to find out the conclusion of the Tea series. My first review of this book was not in a positive light and this one did not sway my position much. 

I finally started getting captivated by this book by the 76% mark. Everything before was a blur. I am the first person in line for world building, but this author just really gives SO much. Maybe I am in the unappreciative side or maybe I’m in the majority. 

I also still find the romance in this book so lack luster, there are no flames no tension. It’s not a book focused on love and it’s a book focused on details and lined with plot. 

I suggest reading this series to learn more about Asian culture, but not for romance or truly anything else. This book will still be a 2 star read for me. Happy reading!
