It was good — why and how was it so good? Finished in one day, don’t know if I’ll read more of them but this was good and I’m shocked by how much I enjoyed it

Fun unique world building. I like that the author just invented a supernatural race so they can become anything to the story. 

The story is drama packed (check trigger warnings), but somehow still lacks a level of emotional depth.

I was pleasantly surprised by this book. I’ve had it on my tbr for so long and finally decided to give it a shot.

I think this reverse harem but it’s a polyamorous relationship between 5 guys and one girl. Because all of them besides two guys are sexually involved with each other, and then all six are romantically together.

I enjoyed this because there was a lot of plot with each character, and I personally love learning everyone’s background. And you get a good sense of how the world works and the hierarchy in Manix society. 

I think the way the author wrote mpreg in this was interesting because visually trying to image a penis suck up eggs was funny.

Naja was a great protagonist, because she never let her history change her heart. She was still able to give and accept love.

I loved all the interactions between the five men and the babies, I’m a sucker for sweetness.

4/5 on the spicy scale. The scenes were kind of short and for being RH, personally, I would’ve liked to see more two/three on one. Cause while everyone might’ve been physically present, it was like a one at a time kind of thing. Still hot though!

Interesting concept and plot, but the relationships felt rushed. I liked the characters, but there wasn't a lot of depth to them. The ending was a bit cheesy and the

male pregnancy was too weird for me.
