It was enjoyable read. Nothing to write home about but it was a refreshing read for me after the garbage ive been reading this year (ive had literally the worst luck picking out books this year lol)

Pretty solid, as usual. I liked some of their other works better, but it was enjoyable.

Not sure why exactly, but this one didn't pull me in. I didn't get attached to the characters. I didn't like the instant attraction and felt like the relationship was rushed, especially for someone with trauma like the heroine.

His Darkest Craving is an excellent short novella by Tiffany Roberts which has the features I love about this author: mystery, straightforward but detailed narrative, an unusual world and lovable characters that show a lot of chemistry in every scene. Despite this, I find it short and the pacing too fast, but you have to take into account that it is a short novella.
In conclusion, recommended if you fancy a short read full of steamy scenes with a hint of kink.

CW: Graphic description of abuse, Graphic sexual assault, Pregnancy, Graphic Violence.

This book has been all over my FYP since October. Now that my KU subscription is ending, I figured it was time to read. His Darkest Craving was a decent paranormal read featuring the spirit of the forest and an abuse survivor. The characters were interesting but a bit two-dimensional for me. I liked both Cruce and Sophie, but I found that their role in the book defined them both. Cruce was cursed, Sophie was an abuse survivor, and that made up their personality. I would have loved to get to know them more in-depth. 

My other issue with the book was that I didn't feel invested in the storyline. It was a bit predictable, and I wasn't as engaged as usual. This could be due to my lack of investment in the characters. 

All in all, I liked the idea of the book but wish there was more to it. Nevertheless, it's a solid 3-star read.
