This book was scary as fuck, but also sexy and I just couldn't put it down.
I usually don't read dark romance or horror and this was a bit more than I thought I could stomach, but I will read the other books in the trilogy, because I really want to know what happened.

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.
