This book is very fast paced in the beginning, a lot of smut, in the first half of the book, but once you reach the middle of the book, the story starts to slow down. I agree with the other reviews that the plot didn't seem to have a great storyline and there seems like things were piecemealed together. I also agree that the main character could've had a better character development throughout the book.

TLDR: if you like vampire smut, and a lot of it, this book is for you. If not, the plot isn't the strongest so you might want to pass.

I enjoyed this book more than I anticipated. I found the characters very lovable and relatable. The plot was something I would expect from a heavy spicy romance but I was just as invested in the plot as I was in the smut. I just enjoy Katee Robert as an author and I really like how she write women.

A really enjoyable read. Very simple and sometimes a bit too straightforward, but still fun regardless

A vampire reverse harem book with tons of spice. Had a decent plot, is relatively fast paced, and like I said, lots of spice 👀🥵 if you’re into that I suggest reading it!

It was fine, I guess. The sex bludgeons you on the head from the jump. I enjoy smut, but I found these scenes boring and skimmed most of them. But if you aren't reading them for the spice, there isn't much to take from it.

This book was like a big, embarrassing, fanfiction of every piece of vampire media that's ever been popular in mainstream culture. It was a spicy novel Frankenstein-ed to death with plot devices from other vampire books and movies. I can't say that I did not enjoy it in, it was certainly spicy and that is definitely one thing that I can say that this author writes well. The rest of it... the characters and plot specifically? Lazy. Everything that happened aside form the spice was conveniently wedged in to justify every fantastical thought the author dreamed up. I understand that it's a fantasy and there is a measure of suspended disbelief required but if an author is going to set a book like this in the real world, they should attempt to make it at least a little bit realistic. The main character was nothing special, typical erotica protagonist archetype. Questionable parentage, daughters of a prominent figure, unidentified powers, ends up being more important than everyone thought, etc. Also everything that went wrong she blamed on herself and that felt gross to me. Overall, it was.... fun and the writing was baseline fine. Nothing special and not life changing.

If you are looking for a super spicy MMMF vampire/supernatural story with the absolute thinnest possible plot stringing together explicit sex scenes then this is the book for you! 

I cannot in good conscience give this higher than 2 stars because the closest we get to a plot across 500-ish pages is:

Mina’s father hates her and gives her to a sexy vampire stuck in his house as a blood source and sex toy. Two other sexy vampires show up. She breaks the ward on the house with a powerful orgasm to allow them all to leave because she’s actually part seraph. They’re on the run and bonded together. Her father captures the vampires. She meets a monster hunter who makes a deal with a demon to free them. She gets pregnant and kills her father, making her the new leader of their vampire clan.

But it is very sexy and sometimes that’s all you need. Serious content warnings (see below) although I think anyone with these triggers can read the summary and know this isn’t for them. 

Content warnings:
Blood, Gore, Injury Detail

Three of the characters are vampires so this is self explanatory. They fight, the share blood, etc.

Murder

Mina brings 3 men to the vampires for them to feed on after their escape from her father, Mina murders her father

Pregnancy

The trio and Mina are actively trying to get her pregnant so she can become her father’s heir, she does become pregnant but there’s no graphic birth scenes

Rape

This is mostly dubious consent at the beginning, there’s a scene where Mina goes to a bar looking for people to feed the 3 vampires and some men drug her drink in an attempt to sexually assault her but she only pretends to be drugged and knocks them out to bring them to the vampires

Sexual Content

Duh

Violence

See: blood, gore, injury detail & murder

Vomit

morning sickness

I wouldn’t say this book was life-changing, by any means…but the characters were fun and the smut was good. Solid read if you’re looking for a blush-worthy vampire romance!

three men attempt to drug the main character so they can all SA her behind a bar. She ends up taking them down, and they all end up dying within the chapter. It is never mentioned again.
