5.0

Damn this book was funny and steamy and I just love the characters, especially the two main characters. Finley had me laughing out loud, which was surprising to me. The world is interesting and the plot intriguing. It did slow down a bit in this one, but it was so entertaining it didn't really matter.

Moderate: Terminal illness

This book is VERY steamy... borderline erotica but since it had a plot I don't count it as such. The sex scenes are not for the faint of heart. There is also a decent amount of violence in it, but most of it is aimed towards demons.

4.5

If you’re looking for plot, don’t read this book. If you want erotica with a pinch of plot, it’s a green light! Some of the spicy scenes weren’t quite my  thing and

K.F. Breene narrowly missed the pregnancy trope

which would have made it an automatic DNF for me. We can have strong sexy female characters without forcing gender constructs upon them.
