99% smut, 1% plot.

I read it because I got it on KU and thought it'd be a fun way to pass the time and it was! The spice is indeed spicy, filled with masks and praise and begging and the "touch her and you die" trope.

I wasn't expecting a lot of character growth or sensical plot in an 80 page erotica novella, so I wasn't disappointed when there wasn't any. But this book is much too short to have a whole chapter dedicated to multiple murders, with a self-harm backstory that doesn't really add anything.

I might read more in the series, since the story becomes more developed, and I've heard the audiobook is the way to go so I might try that format.
