Prey for Me is a fast-paced dark romance novel featuring a sexually frustrated virgin human and a hypersexual demon’s hate-obsession workplace romance.

Thank you so much to the author for the ARC!

This was SUCH a fun read. This isn’t my usual genre but I think this book definitely solidified it as a new favourite! Although there was A LOT of triggering content in here, it was so carefully constructed and the author gives you a very fair content warnings page at the start of the book.

It’s told through both MC’s POVs and the characters are really well-rounded. April is so unhinged, I love her so much. You really feel like you’re going down the rabbit hole of her mind through her chapters and she is such an interest character. I really enjoyed Rosalia’s character too, I love when we get to see the soft spots of “villainous” characters and I’d love to learn more about her past.. maybe the next book will be a prequel? I’d love that!

The spicy scenes were SO GOOD. I need more of these two! And the character art is so beautiful. The last sex scene where Rosalia did that thing with April’s spine… damn I feel like I need that done to me 🤭

If you’re into unhinged women, chaotic relationships, crazy sex scenes, you will be obsessed with this book. I couldn’t put it down! It’s out now and available on Kindle Unlimited and paperback. I’d love to see this get a special edition with extra character art!
