dark

5.0

Definitely very dark. Sexy, hot, fulfilling ending. I do wish the main fc was older. 18 is way too young.  Spicy really adds to the plot, it isn't there just because.

This book is perfectly average in this genre. The story and idea is good and I'll read the next one when it comes out.  But I didn't like the mfc's continued obsession with money, and I've discovered that the Daddy/sugar baby trope is definitely not my thing.  Lots of good monster spice though, so ok.

I enjoyed this and will immediately read the next in the series.  Reminds me a lot of Anita Blake. We'll see if this turns out better than that one did.

Continues to remind me of the first few Anita Blake novels (in a good way). Medium to low spice (2 or 3 spicy scenes but 95% plot). Going straight to #3.

It's good as part of the series, but I found the main female character really weak and just bowed to whatever Raj said. And if she wasn't doing that, she was being stupid as fuck. He never really completed the character arc of mean- but- you- are- my- first-priority. Not like Raphael did.  I definitely like them (Raphael and Cynthia) better as main characters.

Spicy short novella in the same world as Titan.

LOTS of similarities to Throne of Glass, but happens faster. 2 sex scenes but practically closed door. Don't like that the FMC is 18 yrs old 🙄 but I can ignore that.

I loved this book when I first read it, but the series began to fall flat. I think it just depends on my mood when I'm reading it.

Porn without plot.  Which normally I'm ok with, lol, but this one fell flat.
