This was much better than I expected. The smut was so well written and it didn't feel repetitive, which is a common problem in other books. I know there was a warning of breeding being in this book, although it wasn't such a huge plot point until the end. I still can't get behind a pregnancy trope so that brought the star ranking down a little. The vampires were hot af and Mina was a baddie from page one, definitely worth a read.

lyndzyrenee's review against another edition

I mentally can't star rate this yet but I just wanna say... I went into this book with the understanding that most of Katee Roberts' books are smut no plot. BUT while there is a TON of sex in this book, I was shocked on how she was able to still craft an interesting world/setting and give the characters history and motivations while the book was 95% sex scenes.

Overall, I enjoyed the book. It was cringe but in away that I found fun to laugh at. Please go into it understanding just how much smut is featured and the triggers that go with that.

I'm unsure if I'll continue the series, strictly because the next book will deal with pregnancy and that gives me the ick.

(also if you're wanting diverse vampires... this isn't it. The MC mentions a few times ~Oh how pale~ the male leads are.)

ka_ke's review

Normally I love Katee Roberts, however, I did not love this book. It felt rushed with no character or plot development. The initial spicy scene threw me off right away and I felt uncomfortable. I won’t be reading the series.

• straight up smut and it was hot as hell
• I’m not even going to pretend to have understood the reasonings behind any of the “rituals”
• definitely needed to be longer, I need more slow burn angst

TWs: dubious consent, breeding, knifeplay, blood play, abusive parent (father)
