Short erotic paranormal romance that ends too soon. I’m hoping for a follow up book. I wouldn’t say it ended by a nail biting cliffhanger but new information is discovered at the end. I’d also like to see more character development. This book is 90% sex (which I enjoyed) but I want to know more about these characters.

Super excited for this one after reading Blood Moon. It was an okay story with a cute fated mate guardian gargoyle, but I was expecting a little more angst or conflict. Still a cute spicy Halloweeny read

Your normal insta-love trope but very satisfying. Quite a bit packed into a few pages and left no real questions unanswered. Realistically closer to 4 stars but imma give it 5 anyway.

I am sad to say that this didn’t work for me. There was too little plot for me in the beginning and after the terrible first encounter everything went way to fast and was literally fine from one day to the other.
I wish this would have been a little longe with a little less spice but therefore more plot.

Fun for what it is, but the connection between the two main characters is not very deep. Very insta love, and all the obstacles are overcome very quickly and with no real difficulty. On the plus side, the sex is very hot. On the minus side, this book presents a wildly unrealistic picture of the perks and privileges granted to non-tenured faculty at an art college. This story is not terrible but it could have been so much more.

Short and sweet and very spicy. You might come out of it with a thing for voyeurism and tails ;)

The end of the epilogue is a bit abrupt, as this novella fits within the universe started in her book, Titan. Curious to see where this story falls in that timeline.
