I feel like the series has the potential to balance smut and plot but this book did not do that very well. I fount the smut to be overly distracting in a lot of scenes as if it didn’t really belong but was just put in anyway. I did think the plot was pretty interesting and is what ultimately lead me to finishing the book. I feel with the first book kept me guessing a bit more where as this one was a bit more predictable.

bro I cried and will cry when I think about it. BUT Ayo this book went 0 to a 100 real quick. It was so good tho. I would classify this as a thriller to be honest. It was so dark no joke.

I need to see how their kids become Lords
