I devoured this book. The spice came in the first chapter and only got better. The story line was intriguing. Lots of Magic and violence. 
Mentions of abuse and violence. Check trigger warnings.

Katee Robert is quickly becoming a fav paranormal/fantasy author.

My goodness. 

I thought I’ve read spicy books with no plot but this kind of takes the cake. The pacing of this book was so silly, which I guess makes sense know that it was originally three separate books. 

But still I just really struggled to find myself attached to any characters, especially Mina. She honestly had no chance to even develops a personality, she was merely a empty narrator. 

The only character I really appreciated and liked was Wolf. He was the most interesting (despite the ridiculous wolf puns throughout). He was a bit unhinged and odd but definitely the most interesting character.

Idk the plot was a bit ridiculous but it also was so underdeveloped and anticlimactic. Mina did pretty much nothing in this book. She made no decisions, had no opinions, no talents. The only thing she really ever wanted to do is have sex with one or all of the men. Yet, even when she said she loved them it felt so empty. 

I think this book really solidified that while I do love enjoy fantasy romance, I do not enjoy fantasy erotica. The lack of romance in this “fantasy romance” really does place it in a whole different category. 

Anyway, I did read it fairly quickly and was entertained by the spice and amused by pretty much everything else.

I found the plot severely lacking. Too many random additions to the story. Vampires not enough for you, here have some angels, demons, shape shifting, magical powers, and don't forget the pregnancy sprinkled on top. The smut started page 3 and never stopped. I'm all for alot spice but 500 pages of non stop repetitive porn...pass...

What. Did. I. Just. Read. Omg I don’t think I could have ever been prepared for what the hell this book is lol. Once I got over the fact that this book has ZERO plot whatsoever and the writing style is awful I started to relax and enjoy the trash I was reading. Literally the only saving grace for the book is how spicy it was. I wasn’t expecting that level of spiciness but I enjoyed it more than I ever expected to lol. It took me forever to finish the book because the storyline was absolutely garbage but I finally did.

I COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN!! **Warning!!: This book is not for everyone. Detailed, violent, non-stop sex, Polyam, BDSM Fetishes, MMMF, and possibly a few more triggers** That being said, this was one of the best books I have read this year. I couldn't help but fall in love with Malachi and Wolf. The way Malachi fell for Mina was beautiful! He wanted to make sure she was safe and taken care of. Wolf, I mean I don't know what to say... give me a punk shapeshifter with a violent streak any day. Add a mohawk and I'm putty. This will DEF be a book I will re-read!
