First Addition by Kelsey Soliz
4.0
There are a few problematic aspects to this story that don’t sit well with me, like using intimacy with women as an acceptable risk to fill her bodysmith powers because “men are jerks” when she isn’t actually attracted to them, and the whole “I won’t force my powers on people I like because it’s emotional r@pe but doing it to strangers is okay”. If you can get past those two hard to swallow faux pas (why I removed a star), the story is unique and enjoyable.
I didn’t like how “pick me, I’m not like other girls” the FMC was at first but when you get further into the story it makes sense for the world the author has built; the other women like her are truly awful. She becomes much more likeable and relatable the more stuff is dropped on her and the more she starts to worry about real problems rather than perceived ones. The guys introduced are genuinely good guys and I wish men IRL were more like the men women write, lol. I don’t want to give spoilers on which men are chosen but I really like the ones she’s accumulated so far.
Steam wise this first book is pretty mild, especially as far as RH goes. But I can tell there is potentially extremely spicy things in the future. As more things unfurl and become more complicated, the more interesting the plot gets too. I’m invested in seeing the rest of the series though. I enjoyed the narration too, I wish the rest were out on audio!
I will add that this was suggested to me as a warm fuzzies and happy feels story, and I’m sorry but it’s way too drama heavy and angst filled to be categorized as that.
(SPOILER ALERT BEYOND THIS POINT)
It literally ends with her heartbroken because one of her mates loves someone else and was avoiding her. That’s not warm fuzzies. That’s emotional torment.
