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.

Seeing so many terrible reviews breaks my heart. I absolutely love this book. Is it all smut? YES. Is it well-written (smut)? YES. Is there plot?...yes. And I actually liked the plot a lot.

Mina, a dhampir, is sent by her father to marry and be impregnated by a bloodline vampire, after coming (literally) to an understanding, Malachi and Mina work together to over throw her father in this delicious spicy vampire story

 Dubious consent does not cover it- this book, especially at the beginning, had full blown sexual assault. I was not a fan. It's also really clear that the author took 3 mini books and shoved them together without editing anything? There was lots of points throughout the second and third sections where the narration would review what just happened...in the same book.

Just bad writing. Honestly I'm shocked, I usually love Robert books but this was a huge miss for me. And I am a vampire girly! Welp- they can't all be winners.

...I understand, this is probably not what people are reading it for. That reason was spot on. The actual plot was lacking, mostly just there to fill in scenes between smut. Little to zero character description beyond 'surtain body parts'. Surprizingly had descent vampire lore I wish was explored more.

This was so bad but in a fun way lol. I thought her Dark Olympus series had no plot, but this is the literal definition of head empty, no thoughts. The smut was pretty good, but I like quality over quantity so this was a bit much for me.
I hate the pregnancy trope in any situation, and the basically multiple cases of sexual assault???

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!

This book was definitely enjoyable and a very fast read. I LOVED the first Act: Sacrifice. It was sooo sexy and fun to read, the rest  (act 3 especially the last 50-100 pages) kind of dragged. There’s a good amount of plot mixed in with A LOTTTT OF SPICE. This was my first reverse harem and so I didn’t know what to expect but I was actually pleasantly surprised, despite a lot of the writing feeling kind of wattpad-y. It’s definitely good for vampire fans wanting to relive our middle school wattpad era or just a fun fast read (despite being 476 pages you just zoom through!!). I really wish we had gotten more of a build between just Mina and Malachi, once the other men were introduced it just kind of stopped developing. AND KATEE LOVES TO TALK ABOUT HOW BIG THIS MAN IS PLZ. And the plot was very easily resolved lol every single time, it could have been built up so much more!!

This book is all sex. Plot is formed around the sex. Sex by page 3. Not super intriguing story but enough to keep you reading inbetween all the graphic sex.
