Reviews with content warning for Sexual assault - His Darkest Craving

Decently fast paced and not a terrible book but not too much going on. Nonetheless I liked the characters but the FMC’s story hit too close to home so check some triggers for this but I’m cool with reading about it so it was good. Rated 3.75 bcos 4 might’ve been too much cos it’s a short book but I liked the story. Great as a quick read possibly as a palate cleanser between a series!

Quick read, but the DV and SA was way too graphic for this book to be enjoyable for me. It felt like trauma porn.

I liked it okay!! it was a super quick, it was fun, and it didn't overstay its welcome. the ML didn't really do it for me personally, but I liked the FL and, even if it wasn't my fave, it was well written and I can see another reader really enjoying it! love the concept of an eldrich lover and was just disappointed they didn't lean harder into the ghosty vibe we got early-book, but hey the ending was satisfying and I had a good time

Despite being such a short book this starts super slow.

Honestly, I was entirely ambivalent about Cruce until he had already killed Tyler (the abusive ex). So basically I didn’t like the male lead, the monster of the monster fucker book, until about the 90% mark of the book.

Cruce understood possessiveness. This forest was his, and he wanted her to be his, too. But possession was no guarantee of satisfaction. If Sophie wasn't happy... She'd be surviving, but not alive. (110)

The only thing I knew about this book when I grabbed it was that it's a monster fucker romance. For most of the book, Cruce's form is a non-corporal shadow monster, which I found super fun and unique. I was a bit confused about Cruce once he took corporal form though. This is super inventive, but somehow still a bit boring. I think this read just wasn't for me, and the triggers in this are brutal.
