āš ļøTW/CW: Possessiveness, War, Fighting, Blood, and Mass Genocideāš ļø

I enjoyed this book. As an avid monster romance reader this books was enjoyable. I liked all the Naga's and Gemma with that being said I'm not too into the whole lurker part of the story or the fact that the other female Naga's left and disappeared. I'm not entirely sure why but it just didn't really interest me. I found myself liking the scenes between Gemma and Vruksha and they're relationship more. I LOVED the scene in the 2nd to last chapter where Gemma realized that she had been manipulating his emotions and finally accepted him. I might continue this series but I not entirely sure since I'm pretty sure the next book is about Daisy and I didn't care too much for her character. It'll also probably go into more detail about the lurker side of the story and I'm not really interested in that. With that being said who knows. Maybe I'll change my mind and I'll read the next few. We shall see.

tostita's review against another edition

Go to review page

This dude sees the fmc one time and boom, heā€™s convinced she belongs to him (ā€œbelongs to,ā€ not ā€œbelongs withā€) and heā€™s entitled to kidnap her and compel her to mate with him. He says he would never rape her, but I didnā€™t believe him for a minute. Everything he did was designed to undermine her consent and force her into a sexual/breeding relationship. HeĀ  kept saying he would keep her safe, but in fact she was perfectly safe until he and his naga brethren ā€œtradedā€ for women (the women were given no choice) and took them away from their crew and ship. This is not romantic, and for me not erotic, either. Too bad, because the post-apocalyptic setting was interesting but I couldnā€™t get through any more of this rape fantasy to learn about the world.Ā
