Holy monster bait, batman.

I read this on a dare, with the expectation that it was going to be an extreme beauty and the beast where beast has porn tentacles, shifts, sparkles (probably) and hoards gold. Instead, this is MUCH closer to Haunting Adeline with teeth and and a taste for blood.

Really wouldn't know who to recommend this to, but it was certainly an experience.

The book started to stalk out and I was going to stop reading but decided to read a bit more and I am so glad I did. The ending is perfect. I csnt wait for book two and three.

Starts off dark and ends 🥹 lots of non con. Yet I do love an mmc who is morally black. You don’t need to read other books before this. Loved Creeds story with the entirety of my dark soul

Spice Level: High & Questionable

Let me start by saying I have no idea wtf I just read but I know it was batshit crazy and I loved it only because it was so off the wall. I should properly book a therapy appointment. However, I'd like a why choose/reverse harem with hell's harvesters please and thanks.

There is no plot, just a monsters stalking his soul mate, and I was all for it until he drugs her, and rapes her while she's unconscious
