Mina is sent by her father to be a blood donor & maybe baby mama to an important vampire. Except Malachi is nothing like her abusive father & him + his friends want to find a away for both Malachi & Mina to be free. 

Dark Monster Romance, MMMF, Blood Kink, 4 1/2 🔥

Well. You’re definitely not reading this for the plot. 

There’s a stupid amount of sex in this book and like, I get it. That’s the point. But I do like a bit of good plot with my sex scenes.  But the story was pretty dumb which made it completely superfluous. 

It’s clear the sex scenes are where the author shines. Any other conversation or “inner thoughts” are cringey. 

The characters aren’t well written. I don’t particularly like any of them and I can barely tell the leading men apart except one is standoffish & reluctant, one is caring, and one is rakish. Oh, and they have different powers. But everything else about them is the same. 

This may have some pretty steamy (and sometimes uncomfortable because of all the blood) scenes, but ultimately, it wasn’t worth the read.  Far too much unnecessary “plot” and blood.

This book is very fast paced in the beginning, a lot of smut, in the first half of the book, but once you reach the middle of the book, the story starts to slow down. I agree with the other reviews that the plot didn't seem to have a great storyline and there seems like things were piecemealed together. I also agree that the main character could've had a better character development throughout the book.

TLDR: if you like vampire smut, and a lot of it, this book is for you. If not, the plot isn't the strongest so you might want to pass.
