Lady Venom Takes a Mistress by Kat Blackthorne

4.0

This is not my typical read at all, as a matter of fact it is my first sapphic read! It seems to be the most underrated and I haven't seen many people recommend any so when Kat announced she was writing a sapphic story I was not only excited but intrigued as well since I've never read one before but I KNEW if anyone could make it worth reading it would be KAT! This story takes place in her Halloween Boys universe which makes this a dark, gothic, spooky, paranormal romance. I love her ability to pull you right into the world with her writing style and storytelling, it's what makes her books so much fun to read. Posey is being auctioned off to be wed and when she runs away from her wedding she ends up at the place she's only heard about in legends and folklore, Lady Venoms estate. When Lady Venom takes her in as her captive in order to save her from her dreaded fate Posey is very much intrigued by her. Lady venom has every intention of keeping Posey despite the secrets she has. This story was fantastic! It brought something different to the table that I found not only refreshing but damn hot as well! The spice in this book was something else! I wasn't really sure what to expect like I said this is the first F/F experience I've had but I knew Kat wouldn't disappoint. Kat really gave us a romantic experience that was not only sexy, seductive and fun but it was sweet and gentle and beautiful to see their relationship form and how it evolves. It gave a really good different perspective for me in the spice that was really well written and enjoyable. I highly recommend this book even if it's not something you typically read but might be curious about or looking for a different experience or just love the universe of Kat's other books definitely give this a try it's worth it!
