A review by naomi_jayne
Den of Vipers by K.A. Knight

3.0

I picked up this after hearing all the fuss it kicked up on Booktok and...yeah, what can I say. There are two positives I can pull from this - I loved how well developed the characters were, especially our male Vipers, they were well rounded with backstories that shaped who they were. Roxy was bad-ass and I loved how she brought them all out of their shells by handling them differently. Unlike what Booktok said, there was a plot and not just pure smut - the plot was very basic and predictable in my opinion, but the plot was there. The "shocking spicy scenes" were not as "Oh my god" as people made them out to be, but I have been reading books with spicy scenes in since I was 15 years old so maybe I've just seen it all at this point. For me, the plot was just too simple, and the book could have been shrunk down a lot which probably would have made it better - cut out some of the smut to develop the plot a little more. I might re-read this but I'm in no rush to, but I did like it
