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!

The tag line should be “It’s ribbed for your pleasure.”
5 stars simply because it met all of my expectations when I started the book. I appreciate that the plot didn’t have any glaring plot holes given that it is, at its core, demon smut. 
If S&M isn’t your thing do not read this book. I feel this book would’ve done well to have even a small warning at the beginning.
