i enjoyed it. i didn't mind the story being short, but i did mind the spicy scenes being so short. It was definitely a spooky erotica and I'm going to read more from this author.

Overall I really enjoyed this anthology! I even doubled back and reread the stories The Golden Dragon and Best Server Cold. Please check trigger warnings. This anthology was well put together. I read it on e-book and audio. The audio is top tier and really helped me immerse myself into the stories in an unexpected way.

This book has so many twists and turns! Susenyos Sagad is such an enthralling character. This book is a great example of "not everyone is your friend".

Believe the trigger warnings in the beginning of the book!
I read this book in one night. I couldn't put it down. I love Poe and her Ghoulie! I could read a whole series on them. It was dark, twisted and magical.

Omg! I really enjoyed what i have read so far in this book. It ended abruptly and i decided to check the author's IG. it turns out something happened when the book was uploaded to Amazon and it resulted in only first part of the book being available to read. The author posted on their Instagram that the full version of the book will be uploaded soon on Amazon. I'm happy that I will get the full story because what I have read so far is 5 stars for me!
I think the character in the book, Destiny, would be very proud that I did a little detective work to find out what was going on.

Wynta Tyme has got to be one of my favorite paranormal romance writers. She always knows how to write something that can get me out of a reading slump!
I enjoy the fated mate trope especially when it's with Vampires! Wynta doesn't stop with vampires though, she includes others from the supernatural community but you have to read the book to find out!

I really enjoyed how each chapter was the transgression of the person on the naughty list. It was a quick and tense thriller that can be read in one sitting. Check trigger warnings before reading
