Favorite Quote:
Nothing really worth quoting, sadly.

What Kept/Didn’t Keep Me Reading:
The overall story had so much potential. I was quite intrigued with the idea of Sombra, and their law being involved in the fated mate trope. Unfortunately, you spend most of this story in Shannon’s perspective of “should I or should I not fuck the demon?” in the most obnoxious and dull way. I was impulse to buy this book based off a Tiktok Shop FYP ad, the ad made the book seem like it was going to be so spicy! … There’s a lot of half-assed build up moments, but the final shebang, the scene you all read and wait for….was basically nothing. If the author would take some extra time developing the story and not rush and ending, instead of making this a standalone w/ this couple you could have written it out to be something more.

What Would I Read Next from This Author:
Probably not. This was a one and done.
The version of this book I have and I didn't even bother to read the Santa Clawz bonus story.
