Horrible book. No story, only sex. The main character has no self worth and honestly, I found it tiring to hear her telling herself that she didn’t amout to nothing. I just wanted a girlboss that conquered her men by being powerful and charming and cunning. But she was none of them and she just met them because of Malachi and formed a bond with her seraph powers. So basically she was annoying and didn’t do anything.

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.

A fast read if you like a low key dark romance. Between the acts, information is recapped frequently which did get bothersome, but was easy to skim past since each act is basically its own novel. The spicy scenes are good, just wish the plot was a little less rushed at the end!

This book was like a big, embarrassing, fanfiction of every piece of vampire media that's ever been popular in mainstream culture. It was a spicy novel Frankenstein-ed to death with plot devices from other vampire books and movies. I can't say that I did not enjoy it in, it was certainly spicy and that is definitely one thing that I can say that this author writes well. The rest of it... the characters and plot specifically? Lazy. Everything that happened aside form the spice was conveniently wedged in to justify every fantastical thought the author dreamed up. I understand that it's a fantasy and there is a measure of suspended disbelief required but if an author is going to set a book like this in the real world, they should attempt to make it at least a little bit realistic. The main character was nothing special, typical erotica protagonist archetype. Questionable parentage, daughters of a prominent figure, unidentified powers, ends up being more important than everyone thought, etc. Also everything that went wrong she blamed on herself and that felt gross to me. Overall, it was.... fun and the writing was baseline fine. Nothing special and not life changing.

I wouldn’t say this book was life-changing, by any means…but the characters were fun and the smut was good. Solid read if you’re looking for a blush-worthy vampire romance!

three men attempt to drug the main character so they can all SA her behind a bar. She ends up taking them down, and they all end up dying within the chapter. It is never mentioned again.
