Warnings** this is not spicy it's filthy smut so do not pick up to read unless you're prepared for that type of story. 


I haven't read any of JLA newer stuff, I read the Aplloyon one years ago and recently re read the first. My library got a copy of this, after wanting to read her newer stuff but not wanting to spend a fortune on them I picked it up. 

This was not what I was expecting. It's incredibly smutty to the point where is pornographic. We can even have dinner without something smut happening. 


The plot itself wasn't a unique one. It reminded me of PC Cast, there were creatures made from clay and brought to life and some creatures made me think of that. The other creatures were just new names on similar things already in other books. A normal not too attractive girl, is an orphan, is oh so interesting is obviously super special but of course she's too stupid to realise until the end pages. The man, so amazing, so gorgeous, so tall, and strong and gifted and just the thing every woman and man wants. Obviously they're going to get together. What a surprise they're mated or fated or whatever spin you put on it. 
So yeah, unoriginal plot smothered in smut. I didn't mind the writing so much and there was an actual plot there unlike other super smut books so it gets points for that. I didn't hate the characters another point. It was actually an enjoyable read. I would read the next one when it's out.


There is also a whole lot of graphic violence/gore and also torture so don't read if that's a problem for you.
