I wanted to finish this before the end of pride month but alas that didn’t happen.

This was cute but it wasn’t my favorite in the series. I liked having more plot focus and seeing Lenora/Ramanu finally after they had been teased for so many books but I wished it was longer, it felt a bit rushed.

Now that I’ve finished all the books in the series, I think it was a good one (though I’m gonna be honest, The Succubus’ Prize is still my favorite).

Lenora trusted the wrong man—in her moment of vulnerability, he betrayed her and stole a precious family heirloom. Desperate, she summons the bargainer demon Ramanu, only to learn that the demon’s terms are too steep. She could banish them, but having Ramanu as a backup plan is an urge she can’t ignore—the Shadow Market is a place as dangerous as it is tempting. They might think they know what awaits them, but they’ll both get more than they bargained for.

This was HOT. Lenora and Ramanu’s chemistry simply crackles from their first interaction, and the spicy scenes left me breathless. The diversity and representation is especially strong, with both MCs presenting as pansexual, in addition to other gender diverse and queer characters. Robert handles both sex and sexuality with incredible tact, bringing a surprising sweetness to such a tense and heated narrative. Although this is the shortest story of the series so far, both plot and character development are impressively thorough, and I felt a strong connection to both Lenora and Ramanu, along with being truly invested in their romance, despite the brevity of narrative time. This is definitely my favourite book within the series so far!

Easy five stars. I love Katee Robert, I love this series (who am I kidding I love all of her books), I love monster romance. This was everything I love in one tiny book. It was fun, funny, sexy, romantic… just so freaking good. I loved it AND I read it in the perfect time because the next book in this series comes out next week! Wooo!
