I didn't hate it, didn't absolutely love it, but it was semi likeable, there were good moments and kinda boring and repetitive moments too.

It was a really great book. There was an error that I picked up on earlier on that made following the rest of the chapter a little meh but overall couldn’t put it down

Horrible book. No story, only sex. The main character has no self worth and honestly, I found it tiring to hear her telling herself that she didn’t amout to nothing. I just wanted a girlboss that conquered her men by being powerful and charming and cunning. But she was none of them and she just met them because of Malachi and formed a bond with her seraph powers. So basically she was annoying and didn’t do anything.

Not a five star read because it didn't feel like it. Bu waw... Katee Robert you are my goddess >< SMUT NON STOP!!! I swear, every freaking chapter, only in the end did it calm down but waw! So... if you want a book with more plot and less sex, this isn't for you. But if you want non stop smut scenes and reverse harem then I totally recommend!

3.5

Writing: 3.5⭐️/5 

The many grammar/spelling errors in this book did take me out of the writing. I’m not sure it’s actually not good writing, so much as it needed a bit more love during editing. Overall, it was more than enjoyable on a writing level. 

Characters: 4.5⭐️/5

The characters were shockingly well-developed. Each love interest really felt like they had their own personality, motives, characteristics, and goals. Despite all characters ending up more or less obsessed with our main character, each still felt like their own person, which is honestly quite a feat in and of itself. 

Plot: 3⭐️/5 

Okay, so the non-sex plot of this book was a really intriguing idea. I love the vampires, the seraphs, and the history between the two. I would have loved for this to be much more fleshed out in detail because, while the potential was there, I don’t think we got quite enough of it. 

The sex plot was about as contrived as it needed to be to make sense, though I did appreciate the attention to detail in order to make basically everything in this world sexy as hell. 

Post-Reading Rating:  3.75⭐️/5

Again, I really liked the overarching story. 

Who Should Read This? 

• Someone looking for spicy sex scenes
• Those who like fantasy erotica

CW: Pregnancy, blurred consent, violence, blood, gore

Final Rating: 3.5⭐️/5
