«Convince me to stay. Tell me your deepest, darkest desire». 

The first book in The Souls trilogy had me on edge. Greatly written characters, it also definitely had the spice. I say it is medium paced as it takes a little while for the plot to really unfold, even though relationship wise goes a little quicker. I fell in love with Leon (MMC) and also found a new love for books written in dual POV. The plot was good, the character development was good. Overall good book. Good read. Will definitely go back to it.

I enjoyed the God portion of the storyline (I really like mythology and folk tales) and the way the Eld / Reapers were introduced was neat. 
I found myself constantly rolling my eyes at Rae but in a good way - she goes straight into danger but it's part of her charm. 
I did enjoy how the other characters seemed to subtly change based on the information she uncovered as the storyline progressed as well.

I’m not into the masochistic sex stuff. So some of that I had to skim. 

Also, I hate when men call women “baby girl”, especially in a sexual context. The author started using this term 75% of the way into the book and then used it constantly for the rest of the book and it was so off putting that it cost this a whole Star. 

Nonetheless, I found the story compelling and was pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed this book. The writing (with a few exceptions) was solid and the spice was top notch ( and would probably be even more so for those S&M lovers).
