This book would be perfect for adult readers who love to read dark erotic fantasy.
I enjoy listening to this audiobook, told in dual POV with two different narrator who voiced the two main characters. They delivered this story really well.
The plot is simple and interesting. It's well written with a good pacing as well.
Although, I wish the world building was more explored-especially about the Fae world in the beginning.
The characters are pretty well developed, especially the side characters who liven up the story with their sassy comments and bantering.
As for the main character, it took a while for me to warm up to them because sometimes I get annoyed with them throughout the story.
This is definitely one of the spiciest books I've read this year. There's a couple BDSM scenes here and to be honest I found there's one scene that I feels a bit too much.
The ending is a bit rushed but I'm still satisfied with it. The shocking twist at the end gives a glimpse of what the second book is gonna be about.
Overall, listening to this audiobook is a unique experience - the narrators did a great job!
It needs a bit more development in certain areas but still an enjoyable read.
I'm looking forward to read the next book in this series.
