 I wish Lexi Esme would write more full length books.  I fell in love with her characters in Wet Dream and I did the same here.  She takes what Kimberly Lemming does and gives it heart and deep emotion.  Both writers are wonderful and I love the fact that I get to add POC writers to my shelves - a new experience for me. 

This book is sensuous and tugs at you as you read.  I am indifferent to spiders and don't really pay them any mind.  They don't inspire terror in me.  So reading about the formidable and dangerous Sephti and his love for Rhianne was a welcome respite from my other books.

Spice level: 🌶🌶🌶
The intimate scenes sound very contorted.  One particular scene had me so curious about the mechanics I had to draw a diagram to see if it was even feasible let alone pleasurable. 

Plot/Storyline: Once again Lexi brings in elements of real world fear and mixes it with her paranormal layers.  This book has threat of assault as the opening scene and it is done so well and used as a tool to get us to understand the FMC and by proxy her reaction to the MMC.

Characters: Sephti is more human than he thinks.  He practically ghosts her post coital and if that isn't a trashbag-human trait - I don't know what is.

Favorite scene/quote: mwahaha .... that naughty scene in the kitchen After drawing a diagram to figure it out - I can say with certainty that it was spicy.
