Reviews with content warning for Alcohol - Prendi la mia anima

This was the first smut book I read, and, to me, that was all it really was. The characters weren’t particularly written to be interesting, moreso just to fit the tropes they needed to fit into. The storyline was good, but it was pretty easy to guess what would happen next.
However, I have to say that the description of the creatures featured in the book were really well-written. The horror aspect was well-described and thinking about how the creatures looked genuinely did send shivers down my spine. Overall, just taking the book for what it was, I did enjoy it and will probably read the rest of the trilogy.

The book was awesome plot wise like it’s up there real close to Haunting Adeline (my fav book ever). This was filled with tension on a level that kept you wondering what the hell was going to happen next gahhh it was splendid. I felt like Inayas fiancé was mention so many times though. Like on an abridgment side of things it was just really unnecessary to the plot. I 110% could have cared less about Inaya like her whole character was based on watching a cat. Also I thought there would be another steamy scene at the very end. Needless to say I was found dissatisfied. Also I feel this would end a lot quicker if Leon knew how to operate a gun.

I wasn't sure what to expect going into my second dark romance, first horror romance. But having the hots for a demon? Woo hoo.

I don't read too much smut but I got suckered in with the promise of good characters and cults and it delivered. The writing and settings was very well done the smut was 🔥 Both Leon and Rae are lovable but let's be clear: there's a cat named Cheesecake so clearly...the favorite.

Rae did get annoying at points but maybe it's because she's stubborn and that got a little too close. I also wanted more closure with side characters and the ending was a lot of plot build up and it got wrapped up super quick so it just ends, and isn't super satisfying. It IS HEA so there's that.

The saying 'came for the smut stayed for the plot' fits perfectly with my experience reading this book. But don't get me wrong the smut is filthy good!
I'm kinda speechless rn I read this in one day. Writing this currently at close to 4am.

This book is a roller-coaster in the best way possible💀.

I must say I didn't like Rae in the beginning that much...I often thought "is she really that dumb?", "what in the hell are you doing?" or "WOMAN. FUCKING LISTEN." But oh well it made so much sense in the end.

Smut 4,6/5 🌶
Possessive mmc ✔️
Bdsm [s/m vibes]✔️
Cnc ✔️

If you already found this book—are interested, and you're just going through the reviews. Just read it. And enjoy!

Wow I really fucking hated this. The smut was 👀 good but I can’t think of a single other main character who pissed me off as much as Rae did. I know it was meant to be an endearing thing but literally she just consistently makes actually the worst fucking decisions and while yes I know she’s being manipulated to some extent and shit - it’s still actually the most infuriating thing
I read this on a rec from booktok and while I for the most part get why she liked it cause I would’ve probably at least given it a 3 stars if Rae wasn’t so fucking stupid literally every single second of her life but omg I almost DNF’d this book cause fucking hell
