Birds of Prey #1
Albatross
Every job has its ups and downs. But you can take comfort in knowing that your career will probably never lead to inadvertently summoning a demon.
Unlike antisocial spicy audio-book narrator Bel, who has accidentally done just that.
Upon Caspian's arrival, blood hits the fan.
Yes, literally.
Between hiding him from hunters and searching for the answers as to how this happened, Bel is thrown into the world of the supernatural.
A trip to Vegas and a surprise run-in with Caspian's old friend, Fritz, lead to discoveries about herself and the world around her she's hesitant to accept.
Can she let go of what she's always known and embrace this version of herself? Of her new reality?
Or will she fly away from these unfamiliar, and quite frankly terrifying, feelings?
Albatross is the first installment of the Birds of Pray series, a new paranormal romance featuring deeply flawed characters and their fight to find happiness in a world that seems hellbent on keeping it from them.

The book is good but I didn't like some aspects in it tbh, actually hated with with everything being of myself

This book was so hot! Thank you to Karlee for the ARC! This book is book one and ends on a cliffhanger that left me screaming that it ended! Bel the FMC is a romance audiobook narrator and accidentally summons a demon who is ready to rip her apart but when he can’t he goes to search for answers. Along the way he discovers that he is bound to her for protection from demon hunters so he can’t leave her. At first Cas is confused by the modern world and all its ways, he’s even a little shy, stuck up maybe even a little prude for a demon but you can see he’s holding himself back. When he recruits an old friend about halfway into the book that’s when things get hot and steamy. This is also a polyamorous romance and may have some topics that aren’t for everyone so please check trigger warnings. I loved this story, the MC’s have a lot of banter back and forth, the FMC is sassy and doesn’t take his crap even though he’s a demon and they both have their own trust issues so it’s a little bit of a slow burn. This does end on a mean cliffhanger so I’m dying to for the next book!

THIS! This is what I was looking for when I started looking for dark romances and reverse harems. Like oof. It has everything. The spice was so good. The characters were amazing. Caspian was our strong, dark, domineering MC. Bel was our warm, adventurous, PTSD-riddled FC. And then we have Fritz, our little switch MC who's loving, funny, and ready for anything.
It was a page-turner. I could not put it down at all. I neglected work. I ignored my husband and kids. I almost forgot to feed the dogs. I smiled all day.
And now I'm absolutely feral for the next book.

Spice is spicing 🤌
Шо ми маємо?
Дівчина, Бел, озвучувала аудіокнижку та випадково призвала демона 👀
Демон, Каспій, весь такий великий, м'язистий та гарнющий нічого не тямить у сучасному світі, тому Бел стає його власним гідом та "захищає" від мисливців на демонів👀
Без вивчення одне одного звісно не обійшлось)
Раджу прочитати, якщо подобаються демони та багато сексу, але при цьому не проти, що сюжету тут буде відсотків 15
Та звертаю увагу, що тут ми маємо MMF та в кінці є кліфгенгер

I wanted to like this because of the very sweet forward from the author. It is clear that writing this was personally very cathartic for her. But there was nothing good about this for me.
Unfortunately, though the premise is interesting, harley laroux did it better. The summoning scene itself was practically a beat for beat copy of the one in Her Soul to Take. What was released first doesnt matter because in any case HSTT was so much better as far as scene building and plot.
I found myself skimming pages only a few paragraphs in because the exposition felt so stilted and weirdly paced. Rushed is the word that came to mind over and over again. There is no build up, no time to care about the FMC, and what we do know of her to make her sympathetic is so tell-not-show it feels very unearned. It felt very much like the point of this book was to write demon smut scenes first and a plot and characters came second, which to me is lazy writing.
You can tell she tried to make the MMC speak in a way fitting for his character, i.e. like someone who hasnt been on earth in 300 years. And in some ways it worked. Like the Frustration of trying to explain videos on a phone to someone who had no concept of what that could mean made that scene kind of funny. But overall "tried" is really pushing it. Tried in that she in the moment of writing made an effort to be consistent with an off the cuff idea of 18th century speech maybe. But tried as in did any research at all? No. Tried as in thought about how the time gap would influence the MMCs perception of the world beyond scolding the FMC for cursing and wearing modern clothes? No.
It basically read as though she just loosely filled in connecting sentences for a bullet point draft. Unpolished, rushed so much as to stagger even my ability to suspend belief, and just very self-insert 2006 wattpad vibes all around. "I put on my robe and wizard hat" would not have felt out of place within the writing style of the book.
What is disappointing is i feel like it really COULD have been really good. The general plot is entertaining enough. The character ideas interesting enough. I found myself several times thinking "oh but if she had just fleshed out this scene more" "...Workshopped this dialogue to feel more real".."...edited this to be more clearly about the characters reasonably expected reactions rather than her own fantasy". Practically from the first chapter, what could have been good character devleopment was just already....developed. ish. And never improved.
And ultimately nothing makes a book feel more like a waste of time than not being able to stop seeing examples of how it could have been done better.
And before anyone thinks this has anything to do with a distatse for smut ?- know that it does not. I like my books as smutty as they come. But even moderately well written smut needs some amount of plot and character to be worth anything.

If the blurb doesn't hook you then I don't know what else will. Every job has its ups and downs. But you can take comfort in knowing that your career will probably never lead to inadvertently summoning a demon.
Bel is an audiobook narrator who has a plethora of toys but when she inadvertedly summons a demon reading a book little does she know her life is about to change. This book is full of spicy, it's hot, there is so much witty banter, and Caspian and Fritz will make you wish you could summon a demon like right now! If any of these sounds like it interests you then you need to check this book out now!
Also, the cliffhanger left me wanting more. Like I can't wait to find out what happens next!

5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice: 3.5/5 🌶️🌶️🌶️
Available on KU ✅
Tropes:
😈 Monster/PNR Romance (with big…everything 😏)
🖤 Cinnamon Roll Demon MMCs
👀 Group Scenes
🤤 Throuple
📚 Smut-loving FMC
✨ Forced Proximity / Touch Her and 💀
I’m OBSESSED. All caps, screaming from the rooftops, OBSESSED with this book. After our FMC Bel, an audio book narrator, accidentally summons a super sexy demon, she’s caught up in a world she never thought existed with lustful feelings she tries to initially ignore. But I mean, Caspian is super hot and RESPECTFUL and she can’t deny the pull to him for very long. Plus, the banter between her and Cas is TOP MF TIER. I mean seriously, Cas is a cinnamon roll but dominant in the bedroom 👀 how can you not love him? On his quest to find fellow demons in the modern world to get questions answered, they travel to Vegas and see Fritz.
Fritz is yet another super fine, sugary sweet demon who enjoys being….on the bottom if you know what I mean 👀 Both of these men are literally so deadly but have the softest spot for Bel that of course makes me melt into a puddle on the floor. With copious smut scenes, some of my favorite nicknames (little sacrifice, little dove, little warrior), interesting world building and a cliffhanger that makes me so anxious to continue reading the series, Karlee has absolutely outdone herself with such an impressive debut novel. I cannot wait to see what else she writes! I loved this! 🤍
Thank you Karlee for such a beautiful ARC copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own. ☺️

Holy heck. Ummm this was so delicious. An audiobook narrator accidentally summons a demon while narrating (what a cool freaking plot!) and he also has demon friends? Caspian is adjusting to the modern world and he is so precious and naive. But also broody and protective too (did I mention he is delicious?). Bel is so relatable and I love all the added bookish content. This was seriously such a cool and unique book. I am foaming at the mouth waiting for the second one! I need more of the demon boys (wonder boys haha) and Bel. ❤️🔥😍

Had lots of spelling issues and grammatical syntax errors throughout the whole book which was really distracting. Reading this book has me considering a career in book editing.
Could’ve been better, but I was hoping for more of a spicy thriller

My Selling Pitch:
Girlypop accidentally summons a demon while reading an audiobook and now he and his boyfriend are dtf and by dtf, I mean down to fulfill the thinly veiled author insert revenge fantasy. Hot smut, bad plot. Skippable.
Pre-reading:
You gotta appreciate the irony of a book about an audiobook narrator not having an audiobook. The book box that put me onto Run Run Rabbit picked this book, so you bet your ass I’m reading it.
(obviously potential spoilers from here on)
Thick of it:
Being bigger and finding a friend you can share clothes with really is life changing.
This is not good.
What about the cops though? (Samantha has never met patience.)
Romances are obsessed with people’s coffee orders.
Oh, that’s awkward. The Kindle edition has a paragraph repeated within it.
I feel like avocados come up a lot with food nowadays. That’s like making your safe word espresso.
It’s really hard to picture any of the characters in this book. They’re not well described.
Smut’s not bad though. Kinda mid. But not bad.
G sin
It’s a murder on the dancefloor🎶
Don’t put my name on this.
Goddammit 😂
I don’t like this book. Bad plotting, therapy virtue signaling, author insert wish fulfillment, good for her nonsense, I-Like I’m good. No, thank you.
And title drop
Although don’t know if I love the author calling rape an albatross around a neck.
An avocado, thanks. (My brain is a hellscape.)
Double-stuffed Oreos should just be standard, you know? It's what we deserve. (Keep up.😂😉)
I get why it’s in the book given that it is what it is, but the smutty veteran me is like shut up, shut up, shut uppppp. It feels so patronizing to me. (The book’s like look they’re being healthy! And I’m like make it stop. Show don’t tell.) ((I recognize I’m the problem here. Like I’m not dinging the book for this.))
The books are always like immortality bad. And I’m just like I’m a Capricorn. Gimmie.
You guys have known each other for like three days.
The cultural chokehold Tiger King had on us.
You know what felt illegal? Reading that Facetime scene on my work lunch while absolutely housing a meatball sandwich. Good job though. Genuinely hot.
A cinnamon boy
Is this book gonna to be continued me? (YUP.)
Whats 2868? (Lmao it’s cunt. I'm an idiot.) ((Even funnier when you know I shouted across the bar to ask my coworker if he knew, and then had to shout the Urban Dictionary answer back when we were both stumped.))
Her name is essentially beautiful warrior heart? Girl, please.
“Nice.” made me cackle.
Post-reading:
This is a debut and it reads like it. Instead of being campy erotica, it is painfully earnest. It tries to tackle weighty issues, but it just comes off like tone-deaf virtue signaling. The plotting is so rushed. The characters’ descriptions are so vague that it's difficult to picture them. It’s hard to feel emotionally connected to or invested in them because their tragic backstories come in info dumps and their relationships feel like instalove. The plot feels like author insert wish fulfillment. I’m not a good for her girly. I’m just not. The revenge fantasy comes off a little weird when you have a character explicitly asking for her abuser not to be harmed and then her boyfriends ignore her which is just violating her right to say no all over again.
It’s a book about demons that pauses long enough for a character to have a panic attack about the moral and religious implications of that, but never actually addresses those implications. And like on the one hand I get it. It’s just smut. Asking for a coherent plot is a tall order when we’re more concerned about filling Twinkies, but I've seen it done, so I know it’s possible, and I will complain about every book within the genre that falls short of that.
All that being said, pretty hot smut for a first outing. Does every part of it work? No, but I think that's 50% personal taste, 50% inexperienced writing.
It’s readable. It’s skippable. I think it would work a lot better if it leaned into the humor. I think the campy element is fundamental to bonkers smut being enjoyable rather than cringe. I’d give the author another shot outside of this series, but I don't think you need to rush out and read this even if you like a devil’s three-way haha.
Who should read this:
Smut for the lols readers
Ideal reading time:
Anytime
Do I want to reread this:
Probably not.
Would I buy this:
For the plot? No. For the smut trophy…strongly considering. We’ll see how the sequel fares.

Every job has its ups and downs. But you can take comfort in knowing that your career will probably never lead to inadvertently summoning a demon.
Unlike antisocial spicy audio-book narrator Bel, who has accidentally done just that.
Between hiding him from hunters and searching for the answers as to how this happened, Bel is thrown into the world of the supernatural.
A trip to Vegas and a surprise run-in with Caspian's old friend, Fritz, lead to discoveries about herself and the world around her she's hesitant to accept.
Review:
This book is great fun, it’s a bit out there but if you suspend disbelief it is thoroughly enjoyable.
With a morally grey live interest and a main character who really comes into her own, this Why Choose story is a great read. The smut is perfect, the main characters are hot and their chemistry is 🌶️🌶️.
The ending completely took me by surprise and I can’t wait to read the next in the series. If you like a paranormal spicy romance, this one is for you 😈

Loved loved loved this read! Cas and Fritz are the perfect dichotomy. I loved watching Bel and Cas’ characters grow and transform. The plotline was absolutely amazing, and the spice was just as good! The book itself had a great mix of everything I look for in a book (spice, plot, character development). I have so many pages/scenes tabbed to go back and reread.
The only thing I’m sad about? Having to wait for book two! 😈

I don't know what book the rest of you read, cause this is the worst book I've ever read 😂
Couldn't tell you what the characters look like, couldn't find the plot, the whole book was very rushed and the last 30% gave me the ick

I’m not gonna lie, when I picked up this book I didn’t expect much. I just didn’t have a lot of luck with paranormal romance and this book might not be perfect but I fell in love with the characters, the idea behind demons and the spice was 🤌🏼 (despite one of the characters being names Fritz 😅).
December 19, 2025
The book was so bad 😭😭
I was really trying to find a distraction before heat rivalry came out. And it did that, distracted. I wish this app was like Strava so I could show you the confused faces I was making while reading. Don’t get my wrong I love a why choose and I might read another after this but I hope it’s so much better than this book.

4.5 - I'm convinced Karlee could make swamp monsters and mud goblins sound appealing. The heat from the get go with this book is there! Even with our FMC she's just as sexy alone. I think we could all use more Fritz in our life. Nothing wrong with a golden retriever and impressively handsome man, I mean a Spa day?? Ugh.
Overall if you're looking for a slow burn and some paranormal romance please please pick this up.
PSSSST... I'm ready for book two please!

Did not finish this book at 65%. I tried. Seemingly no story line or plot ? Just sex ?

OK, that was a ride! A dark, delicious, enticing and some what disturbing ride. Love the narrator premise and her insane collection. Loved Caspian and Fritz and there poly relationship, definitely a RH. Yes, this book is MF/MMF. Check the triggers due to its content it might make some people uncomfortable. This had spice, danger, made you want to keep reading, and ended in a cliffhanger. I can't wait to see what happens next!

I stumbled across this book on Instagram and knew that I needed to read it immediately. I did take off one star because I'm not typically a fan of "why choose" novels so that did put a damper on things for me, but overall it was a good debut novel!

Am I mad?! You're damn right I'm mad. How can you end a book like that and not even tell me when the next one is coming?!?
Is Isla a hunter? Does she know she's a hunter, or is that why her family disowner her? How will Cas and Fritz find Bel? Will they ever get their throuple?! I have too many questions!
Alright, onto my review. I received this book as an ARC in exchange for my review, so I guess I better do it. It took me a minute to get over the monster fudger bit, as it's not my usual cup of tea, and these demons are insatiable! Their sexual appetites and taste for violence certainly seemed to go hand in hand at times. I also am swooning over how in love they clearly are with Bel. Although no one has said it, it's clear that they could all have a beautiful future together.
I love a woman who can take control of her sexuality and be confident in what she wants, so Bel definitely gets a gold star. The fact that she took her trauma and turned it into a career speaks volumes about how truly strong she is.
The only part of this book I wasn't crazy about, and the reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 was the insane amount of sex in the middle. I loved the character development both before and after, and I totally get that Cas and Bel were exploring this new level of their relationship. I can see how she was so worn out, as it was never ending!
Overall, I was greatly impressed with this first book and can't wait for the next one!

Thank you for an advanced copy of this book, all opinions listed are my own.
So I’m going to preface this review with I have 304 highlights for this book. 3. 0. 4. I’ve never highlighted so much in a book!! There was so much good banter and many tender moments that made me swoon.
Caspian was amazingly gentle (outside of spicy scenes), that I forgot a lot of time that he was, in fact, a demon. He had some of the best banter out of the three of them. Always had a witty or sarcastic remark to make and it left me laughing. And his inner monologue was just as good, constantly thinking of Bel and how he wanted to protect and cherish her. I found myself falling for this man, demon, demon man. Little Dove is hands down my new favorite nickname. Dom Cas was a whole different beast (literally sometimes) and I was loving every minute of it. The way he would mock and tease both Bel and Fritz had me melting a whole different way.
Speaking of Fritz, he was absolute golden retriever energy and I was left wanting more of him. I loved his dynamic with Cas and Bel, and while he isn’t there for many of the spicy scenes, Cas has creative solutions to that problem. I can’t wait to find out more about Fritz and see their dynamics grow in the second book. He’s always got a joke and a smile, which makes me want to dig and see what hurt he is hiding. I enjoyed how he flirted and would be Bels modern day demon. How he helped Cas catch up to everything he missed. The friendship between him and Cas was sweet. Also the fact that Fritz whines during spicy times was so good.
Bel was an all around queen. She took everything in stride and only freaked out once! It was interesting to see how comfortable she got around both demons. Going from a toy is enough, to wanting them both. I loved her spunky attitude, always quick with a retort to Cas’s teasing. The way she eased into Fritz’s flirting. I’m excited to see her grow in her sexual prowess as the series goes on. All around Bel would be a wonderful person to have as a friend, she is caring, protective and passionate about those she cares for.
Okay so rambling over. This book was amazing. I had such a hard time putting it down because I wanted to just sit and read it constantly. The spicy scenes were all so good, but the only thing that would have made it even better would’ve been the primal scene being a smidgen longer. That’s however just me really enjoying primal. I wasn’t expecting the ending at all and kept flipping back and forth to make sure I read it correctly. Overall it was just an amazing read and I can not push it enough for people to read.

Listen, not a lot of paranormal romances featuring scary and badass demons from hell can be described as wholesome. But Albatross is definitely one of those books.
I had the pleasure of being one of the beta readers for Albatross, and let me tell you, I was giggling from the first page. I had no clue what I was getting myself into beforehand, and boy was I in for a good adventure.
Bel is the type of heroine whose head you enjoy being in. She doesn't annoy you, she doesn't make stupid decisions (I mean... maybe you'd consider summoning and fucking a demon a bad decision, but that's on you), and is overall easy to root for.
What I absolutely fucking adored in Albatross was the friendship between Bel and her best friend, Isla. There should be more female friendships in books, especially fantasy and paranormal books. We need to see wholesome, loyal, and beautiful friendships between women, like the ones we experience in real life.
Karlee did an amazing job with that. As I was reading, I could see myself and my best friend in Isla and Bel, and that made me tear up quite a few times while reading.
I think Karlee does an amazing job at writing about trauma and overcoming challenges as a person. While also making it all fun and lighthearted enough to leave you with a good feeling in your chest once you're finished reading the book.
Oh, and the demons... I mean, at first, I was a fan of Caspian. But then, Fritz showed up and I was like - wait a damn minute... how am I supposed to choose?! It's a good thing I didn't have to (hehe).
But truly, this is a very fun and enjoyable read for those autumn/winter days or evenings when you want to get your heart racing in the best way possible.

This is the first I have read of this author and let me tell you that I thoroughly enjoyed the world she created. Apparently the tension between mystical being that is perceived as evil but maybe is not evil vs. the faction (often religious and suuuuper patriarchal) that fights against them is my jam. Albatross, the first in the series, tells the story of Bel and Cas. Bel is an audiobook narrator who accidentally summons a demon. Yep. You read that right. In one of the books she narrates there is an honest to goodness summoning spell. From there it is a sort of girl meets demon, demon kills crooked cops (and eats them), demon falls for girl and vice versa story. You know, a classic.
I enjoyed a lot of about this book frankly. I enjoyed the talk of consent, the push and pull between the demon world and the religious zealots trying to kill them off, the way Bel and Cas fell for each other, actual discussion of trauma, aftercare on the page, and don't even get me started on Fritz (love him). I felt that this was a nice balance between spice and plot. Heck. Even the cliffhanger I didn't mind (probably because book 2 was available and starts right after book 1).

🪵Burn: 🔥🔥🔥🔥
🥵Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
✨Review: Oh my Lordy words cannot express how much I enjoyed this book. I was smiling constantly throughout, I couldn’t fault it. No crumbs were left. Only avocados.
First of all, Cas is just a fine specimen of a demon man. Holy hell. He is honestly boyfriends goals. I loved, adored, thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of him. Then you add in Frtiz and god damn, now I have two boyfriends whom I love.
I love Bel, she quickly became a favourite FMC of mine. She’s not only hilarious but I feel like she responded to her situation in the exact way all of us readers would if we had a demon just show up in our house. Also she’s just living the dream and is incredibly relatable, I felt called out so many times. I love that she was in control in so many of the scenes throughout this book. It was incredibly refreshing.
Now the smut. OH MY GOD THE SMUT. Delicious. Big big fan. Hot as fucking hell. We have MF and MM and MMF scenes and did I mention antler handlebars, oh man, I was in heaven.
This was an ARC copy read and review.

“I definitely don’t need to tell her that he smells like cinnamon, sandalwood, and sex or that he whines when he needs to come.”
Ahhh no why you got to do that to me. This cliffhanger is breathtaking!! Excuse you what!? Who?!? I need to know more !!!
Bel is an audio book narrator, while she was working on a book she accidentally summoned a demon. Let’s talk about this sexy demon, Caspian, who’s sexy, respectful, and confused on how we still have traffic in this world 😂. He took Bel to Vegas in search for more demon friends and they do fine one.
“How do the mortals have international communication and interplanetary travel, yet cannot conquer this thing called traffic? It is utterly absurd”
That’s when Fritz, another sexy demon joins in on the fun. They both are deadly creatures but they have the biggest soft spot for Bel. So if anyone dares to hurt her they better watch out.
I loved this book and I need to get my hands on the next one asap !!!!

Albatross by Karlee Berrios follows Bel who is a voice narrator for spicy books 😉 (sounds like a great job) who accidentally winds up summoning Caspian, a demon who has been imprisoned for centuries. On their quest to find fellow demons to help Caspian navigate the modern world, they find his long time friend Fritz who wouldn’t mind joining in on all the fun 🥵
I loved Caspian, he’s a huge cinnamon roll and super respectful of Bel’s boundaries, his top priority is always making sure Bel is comfortable. Throw in a trip to Vegas and some pesky demon hunters and this book is smutty demon fun!
This book does end on a cliff hanger, so you know I’ve already got book 2 ‘Shrike’ ready to go.

This book was fantastic! Bel is an audiobook narrator who accidentally summons a demon while recording a book and all he’ll breaks loose from there.
Bel is a great character who is easy to love, she’s strong, sassy and funny. We learn that she hasn’t had an easy time of it in the past but ultimately she just wants someone to love her. Cas is a demon who suddenly finds himself in the 21st century, laughs and adventures happen as he tries to find another demon who can help him adjust to the modern world. Fritz is who Cas turns to for help and he agrees to help after meeting Bel.
I loved the relationship between the three of them and seeing it grow and develop throughout the story was great. The cliffhanger at the end totally got me and I can’t wait for book 2!

Honestly very on the fence with how I feel about this book. I like Fritz. He’s absolutely adorable, and definitely the highlight of the book.
The rest, I don’t really know. The plot was interesting, but I feel like the book didn’t follow it, if that makes sense? It felt rushed, but also slow, which is hard to wrap my head around.
The ending was just all over the place, and the “cliffhanger” was just “oh, guess this is happening”.
The sex scenes had more detail than the rest of the story, and there were so many spelling/grammar issues - like Bel was named checking out Cas’ abs with Fritz and she was literally being held hostage during that time? I know the author meant Isla, but none of the editors noticed that??
Solid 2.5 for me, but Goodreads doing do half ratings.
