This was my first MC romance, and my first mer shifter romance, and while I did enjoy this book, it showed me that neither of those categories do anything for me. Nothing against the book, purely personal preference, and I'm glad I at least had a decent time finding out!

Full rating below:

Characters: 7/10
I appreciated the diversity in characters, and enjoyed their interactions between eachother.

Atmosphere: 8/10
Definitely atmospheric, the author did a good job here, I apparently just don't vibe with MC and mer themes. 

Writing: 7/10
Writing was pretty good, enjoyable to read.

Plot: 6/10
I've only seen one episode of Sons of Anarchy, and could pretty much predict what would happen in this. Would have loved more of a twist than just the mer aspect.

Intrigue: 5/10
I finished it just to finish. Again, if you're into MC war drama you'd probably be far more invested than me. 

Logic: 6/10
I still dont understand how the bikes work (like I know it's "magic" but what does it look like? Do the wheels spin? Does it make a sound? Give me details) or what they look like when shifted (I know they have scales and gills from a brief mention but like .. what else? What colour? Do they have legs or fins?) .That might be me being a dummy or zoning out while reading but these were cool aspects that I feel deserved more page time! 

Entertainment: 6/10
It was a decent time, some of the scenes were pretty hot, and I felt the characters worked well together. Again, taught me I'm not a fan of MC or mer themes.

Total rating: 6.43/10

This was my first book by this author and I REALLY enjoyed it!! It was fast and fun and sexy and overall a great time. There was more heart than anticipated, the characters were all so different and had such personality, I liked how Lourdes realized Dimas didn’t love her the way she loved him and actually left. Genuinely didn’t want to put this book down.

This reverse harem shifter MC club romance was to dieeee for. I loved it so much! I was lucky enough to beta read for Aleera, and let me tell you, if this isnt on your TBR, it needs to be!

Queenie, our FMC, is delightfully rebellious, closed off and insecure, and smart as a whip. She was hilarious, and even more fun to read about. 

Our men, the council for the Krakens MC, are hilarious too, but also deadly and delicious. Box is something else that words can't describe, Rock is our fav Daddy Kraken, Scorp is just *chefs kiss*, Delfin is our fav broody sad boi, and I would die for Slug. 

My only wish is that this wasn't a standalone!! I could read books and books and books about this crew. 

If you're a fan of hilarious but also dark and serious RH MC romances, with some mermen shifters thrown into the pot, check this one out! Like the TikTok sound says.... "good soup"
