It has the stalker vibes of Haunting Adeline by H.D. Carlton. This book opens on the cautious content page. I’d suggest you read the full warning before proceeding.
I write dirty fae, vampire and monster romance. My males are dark and dominant. My females are flawed, sometimes hard to handle, and definitely grow throughout the series.
My fae world overlaps, as do some of my characters. Chaistolf was my first character and with him blossomed the Spark Bonded Series. It's a vast series of six big arse books. Starts all lovey dovey, but gets darker as the series goes on.
The more I wrote in the Spark Bonded Series, the more I explored the darkness of romance. Now, I live there.
MM? Usually. MFM? Often. MMF? More often than not. Noncon? Happens. Monster Porn? Got it. I'm not afraid to take you down a path others might fear.
This book brought new elements to the series. BFR it’s not just a kinky society. This book brings in a paranormal element, that was totally unexpected. I’m glad that an entire book was devoted to Logan and Eden. The only other book I’ve read in the series presented Logan as “Lurch”, and you really didn’t get a good feel for him because of the way he was presented. I was glad to see more of him and learn more about him than just the brief glimpse in the previous book. This book is spicy! How could it be otherwise? But it’s good, it’s really good.
Based on the cover, I didn’t have high expectations. The writing, however instantly floored me. Very well written, minimal errors and great continuity.
The plot was interesting, the characters were even more so.
I’ll be recommending this to anyone who can handle noncon, dark romances because it was HOT.
I feel like I just read two separate books. Or maybe? Why at like 65% into the book, the author introduces a whole bunch of new characters that have a completely different storyline just to set up her next book makes no sense to me. I'm just confused.
Loved lurchs story. He's not the monster people think! I love this author. And this story spice was great! This book had more plot than the first but I highly enjoyed it.
