I do love a good spicy read. I've had this series for a bit, but decided to pick it up now because I joined a group read. 

But it wasn't all spice and kink. There's intrigue, murder, a burgeoning love story, and a death cult to an eldritch god. 

It's a fun, spicy read if you like dark romance, but be sure to read the triggers!

dark mysterious medium-paced

4.0

Read the first couple of chapters at Barnes and Noble and was hooked to our tall dark and broody MMC lol. It had the makings of a good horror story (complete with a silly horror movie female heroine running into danger) with a nice blend of smut along with plot. Yes, the FMC and MMC have their little "games" but it didn't feel forced. Their feelings for each other seemed to develop naturally over the course of the book.

A good choice for someone looking for some dark paranormal romance.

Beware all the trigger warnings though. This was no vanilla smut.

Spice scale (as defined by Mysterious Galaxy):
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 [Get the hose.]
