I am an independent author writing about fictional lesbians of all varieties.
My writing journey began with fan faction, and as much as I LOVED being part of a community of super fans, I got tired of working with other people’s characters to tell my stories. I started asking myself: Why should we string together pieces of subtext when our community deserves well-developed main-text about LBGT people and those who love them! So, that is what I aim to deliver.
If you want to know a little more about me personally, J.J. Arias is my pen name. I do have a day job, and due to the industry I’m in, I can’t write under my given name. Although who knows, maybe one day I can write full-time and come out of the … office? I am a Scorpio woman (I know, I know, but I’m a nice one I PROMISE) happily married to a uniquely wonderful Cancer lady. Together we have several fur babies of the feline and canine varieties.
So, here I am, and I hope you enjoy my writing! I’m very open to thoughts, comments, critiques, and knock-knock jokes, so please feel free to message me with any of the above – or anything else you would like to say!

J.J. Arias has done it again—For Love and Blood and Fury is an electrifying sapphic paranormal romance that will leave you utterly spellbound. This book is everything: heart-pounding action, searing chemistry, and a throuple dynamic so perfectly balanced that it feels like destiny itself conspired to bring Elena, Zuri, and Marisol together.
Elena, the fiercely confident head of Miami’s vampire cartel, is the kind of character who owns every room she walks into—except when it comes to Zuri. Their history is tangled with passion, heartbreak, and unspoken longing, and when Zuri storms back into her life, the tension is immediate and intoxicating. Add in Marisol, a compassionate and quietly powerful healer with a lineage that’s more than meets the eye, and the result is a romance that’s as tender as it is scorching.
And oh, the spice! Arias cranks up the heat to absolutely burning, delivering some of the steamiest, most emotionally charged scenes I’ve read in a while. But it’s not just about the fire—there’s depth, devotion, and an undeniable sense of belonging between these three women that makes every moment feel earned. Each of them brings something unique to the relationship: Marisol’s sweetness and quiet strength, Zuri’s unpredictable firecracker energy, and Elena’s fierce, cocky swagger that makes her utterly irresistible. Together, they are magic.
One of the things I adore most about Arias’ writing is her commitment to sapphic love stories without the dreaded third-act breakup. Instead of unnecessary angst for the sake of drama, she gives us complex relationships that face challenges head-on, proving that love—especially a love this powerful—is worth fighting for. And while there’s no painful cliffhanger, the ending leaves just enough intrigue to have me desperate for the next installment.
For Love and Blood and Fury isn’t just another five-star read—it’s a standout, even among Arias’ already stellar collection. Every book she writes somehow manages to raise the bar, and this one? Absolutely nailed it. If you love paranormal romance, sapphic longing, and a love story that sets the page on fire, this is an absolute must-read.

I marked this as age gap because the vampire is like 294 years old. Physically the characters are 27,33, and 38 or something like that.
My first ever poly book. It’s definitely not something I would choose to read very often but I didn’t hate it as much as I thought I would. Maybe that because all three were women? 🤷🏼♀️

For Love and Blood and Fury isn’t the first poly romance novel I’ve read, but it’s the first I believe. Told through the points of view of the three main characters, it follows Elena, a many-centuries old vampire; Zuri, the witch that got away; and Marisol, a young nurse with powers she is unaware of until an attempt on Elena’s life brings them together.
All three are strong, independent women, with very different personalities, and they all stand on their own two feet. Together however, they’re more. Together they form a new whole.
J.J. Arias manages the tour de force of making most of the scenes involving the three of them at once super hot and super sweet and tender. If I, at times, wished there’d been more getting to know one another and maybe a tiny bit less sex (sacrilegious, I know), I now hope it will happen in the second book (Blood From the Marrow, announced for release on October 17th). In this one, they’re still in the lust-dominated discovery phase, full of wonder and desire. I loved how Arias wrote the various relationships—Elena/Zuri, Elena/Marisol, Zuri/Marisol, Elena/Marisol/Zuri—and the impact they each have on the others. I can’t wait to see how they develop.
As usual, I focused most of my review on the characters, but spice isn’t the only kind of action happening. As the head of Miami’s vampire cartel, Elena has enemies and competition, and the line between loyalty and betrayal is sometimes thin. Zuri has her own issues with her coven, and Marisol… Well, Marisol finds herself in an identity crisis, and trying to understand who you are while running for your life and having a lot of sex isn’t easy, apparently. But it is exciting.
I enjoyed this book a lot, and am looking forward to reading the next one in October. The audiobook of For Love and Blood and Fury will be released in June, and I plan on refreshing my memory with it before the sequel comes out, though I don’t know if I’ll be able to listen to it in public…
I received a copy from the author and I am voluntarily leaving a review.

I'm usually a sucker for Arias' work, but this one was not it for me. The threesome scenes felt clunky and I was having a hard time picturing whose what was going where. I found myself skimming through the steamy scenes just to get to the actual storyline because that was actually interesting and exciting. For once, I needed less sex and more story. Not sure if I can put myself through the 2nd one since I almost DNF'd this one (I've never DNF'd officially). But we will see.

That was honestly amazing! As a monogamous person, I had to open my mind to reading about a throuple and I am so glad I did because this was my favorite read in months! The angst is the best ive read, the spice is on point, loved all three of them but especially Zuri! Its also super funny, i had a BLAST and I cant wait for part two!

If you’ve ever had the pleasure of reading anything by J.J. Arias, you’re well aware that she is a master of angst, sharp banter, and tantalizing spice. The connection between these characters is nothing short of ethereal, weaving a spell that captivates the reader, leaving them hungry to know what happens next. These three women—each with a unique and intricate lineage rooted in power, healing, and unapologetic strength—are as compelling as they are complex. Some of the intimate scenes are so intricately crafted that at times, I found myself fully immersed, needing to stay present just to keep track of whose touch was where. Yet, these scenes rank among the spiciest I’ve ever encountered. I’m eagerly anticipating what’s in store for these three powerful women next.

Wow! I absolutely adored this novel. Loved it. Tore through these pages in record time and got very annoyed whenever the world made me put it down for mundane things like sleep or work. This is instantly a new favorite of mine and I recommend it to all.
Warning: it’s a duology, so don’t expect the story to be done at the end of the novel!!
Expectation setting: This novel focuses a LOT more on the relationship between the protagonists and a lot less on distractions like “plotline”. It absolutely does cover all the bases and the plot is there, but if you go into this expecting an extensive and thoroughly developed plotline then you might be disappointed. There IS a second half to this story coming though, and I expect that’s going to be where a lot of the plot ended up.
There are a lot of things I loved about this novel. The primary focus was the relationship, as I said, and the author absolutely killed in on that front. This is spicy as hell, and I believe it might have some of my favorite spicy scenes of all the novels I have read (which is…. definitely a few). The relationship dynamics were also just delightful, and I loved these characters together. The worldbuilding that was present in the novel was well done. Not only did the author have a somewhat original spin on the typical supernatural lore but they took the time to include some details that made this “feel real” in a way I find is often overlooked.
As for weaknesses, I suppose the novel has a few. To be honest I was too busy having a great time reading this and I entirely overlooked any weaknesses until I forced myself to sit down afterwards and think about it. As I already said, the plotline was a bit thin and underwhelming. If this was a standalone novel I think I would be disappointed, however I know that this is only half of the story so I am holding off on my final thoughts on that front. At this moment there are several plotlines that are either unresolved or unsatisfying.
If the second novel delivers on what I expect it will, then this duology will secure a spot on my favorite list. If the second novel drops the ball…. then honestly, I might have to come back and knock off a star from this rating. Don’t make me to it JJ!
My Rating: “S” (That’s like 6-Stars)
Converted Rating: 5-Stars

A vampire, a witch, and a nurse walk into a bar….. What could go wrong?! Ah, but there’s MORE!! READ. THE. BOOK. Meanwhile...
I must say, I don’t think I’ve ever read a proper throuple-themed story besides Meghan O’Brien’s brilliantly written dystopian polyamorous romance, “The Three,” and that’s because it was from one of my fave authors, as it’s just not my usual genre of choice in lesfic. Unless, as I just alluded to, it’s written by one of my fave authors. Like O’Brien. In this case, it was J.J. Arias. So when I heard her telling Laura Green in an episode of her podcast, “The Sapphic Book Review” last year that she was in the middle of writing her first throuple story in the paranormal genre, I was immediately intrigued especially when it was going to be about a vampire, a witch and....a nurse (?). I love vampires, shape-shifters, witches, the lot. F/F urban fantasy is my jam! So, YAAAS!! Bring it on!! Incidentally, Arias is one of my newly discovered fave authors. What an original artist she is in how she writes and tells her stories. I simply love the flow of her words that’s always grounded and organic. Witty, dramatic, sensual, emotional, weaved so effortlessly into all her characters that you can’t help but want to engage with them. And oh, the banter!! Reading Arias’ books (and listening to them!) usually have me in chuckles especially during the first acts of her stories!
Anyway, back to Arias’ latest story, “For Love and Blood and Fury,” which is the 1st of 2 books in her appropriately named duology, Lilith’s Legacy. Ahh, Lilith. One of my favourite mythologies about the Divine. Yes, I dare call Lilith the Divine, so there! Am I glad to see her return into the fold after appearing in Arias’ “Relinquishing Control,” which instantly lodged its place as one of my fave lesfic stories when I first read/listened to it. I’ve so far listened to it 4X already, yet I still want to listen to it again and again, thanks to Kingsley Rose’s phenomenal performance, who, IMHO, is meant to OWN Arias’ stories and characters with her perfect embodiment of the characters, in this case, the great ice queen, Natalia! If you haven’t listened to it, do it now!
And I digress...
Anyway.... Wait until you discover how Arias constructed her version of Lilith’s mythology into this story because it’s absolutely fantastic! Incidentally, my fave character in this story has much to do with the Divine legend herself, and what an intriguingly curious being Arias has deftly constructed in this particular character! No spoilers. Just one word. BAMBI. 'Nuff said.
But the ending! Ohhhhhh….what have you done, Arias?!?!!? The ENDING!! Aaaarghhh! She really got me there! I did NOT see that coming! In fact, it took me so much by surprise that I involuntarily exclaimed out loud (a rarity when I'm reading, mind you!), "NOOOOOOOO!!!!! Don’t do this to me, Arias!!" Meanwhile, my shocking outburst jolted my poor puppy from his otherwise dreamy nap in a hurry!! Bloody hell! I mean, Arias never did it in any of her books (not like this!) so, obviously, I wasn't expecting it!! Oh, what a crackin' cliffhanger! Bugger me!! Well played, Arias, well played. *slow clap*
Hook. Line. Sinker.
It’s a PERFECT ending to this otherwise captivating and enthralling, not to mention, arousing story that’s so original! I don’t think I’ve come across anything quite like this one in the paranormal world, specifically the vampire-come-witchcraft et al combo! Not to mention, a romance amongst 3 strong-willed, kick-arse, irresistibly insatiable sapphic women, to boot! Each of them possessing a wealth of backstory that Arias meticulously crafted that kept me intrigued all throughout.
“For Love and Blood and Fury” is without a doubt, an enthusiastic MUST-READ, peeps! A supernova of a bewitchingly enthralling, devilishly wild, arousingly sensual PHWOAR of a throuple-led story, not to mention, bloody ORIGINAL, too!!! That's the best, innit?! Arias has indeed outdone herself again, imho! Now, is it October yet??! Hullo, it's Halloween month! Coincidence?! Yeh, the 2nd and final installment, "Blood from the Marrow," is coming out on Oct 17th ! Ohhhh...the wait!!
Now, even though the audiobook has yet to be released at this point but with Kingsley Rose’s natural instinct in interpreting Arias’ intent in her stories and characters, I have no qualms believing that her vocal performance in bringing them to life will elevate the story to a whole new level, just like what she’s done with Arias’ other works, thusfar! I simply can't wait for it to come out so I can devour it aurally right away! Until then... I shall reread this book to experience all aspects of this WILD adrenaline rush of a story again, yeh!!
Meanwhile….. VIVA LA LILITH!!

This book was truly amazing.
I was hooked from the very beginning till the end. Anything by J.J. Arias is always an auto-buy for me, and this book was once again proof of why: perfect writing, a throuple between paranormal creatures mixed with a spicy romance. Count me in !
I loved so many aspects of this story. The way paranormal creatures are shown feels unique and different from other books, creating a whole new universe. The powers and abilities are creative and exciting, leaving me eager to discover more.
Elena, Zuri, and Marisol are so lovable in their own ways. The dynamics of their relationship are well-handled, with no one feeling like a third wheel. They communicate healthily, complement each other perfectly, and fiercely support one another. And the spice ? Let’s just say I had to take a hot minute several times because it was that good.
I still have so many theories about where their story could go, as I’m sure more drama will unfold. I’m also grateful there’s no cliffhanger, which makes waiting for Book 2 in October much easier.
Overall, if you enjoy a throuple romance between a vampire, a witch, and a healer with a hidden lineage, filled with mysteries and plenty of spice to keep you on your toes, this book is for you. I’m definitely getting myself a physical copy right away !

Fantasy has never really been my thing, but this book had been sitting on my TBR for one simple reason: it was a J.J. Arias novel. I love her contemporary books, so I figured, "How bad could a few vampires and witches be?"
Well... I did not regret it.
Apparently I'm into vampires and witches, because this book was H.O.T. AF.
This book completely won me over. It was sexy as hell, the plot kept me hooked, the characters were lovable, and the chemistry was absolutely through the roof. I was so convinced this series was going to own me that I bought book #2 before I'd even finished book #1. That's probably the highest compliment I can give a series I couldn't risk reaching the last page without the next book already waiting for me.

I have to say, I am finding these sapphic "why choose" books very intersting. The emotions are always high, in a good way that makes character develoment very clear. I almost wished the coven of 3 was just Zuri, Marisol and Elena; like that is some crazy power. I am excited to this where this goes. I need more witch involvement and more deeper about the history of Marisol's kind. Because when I saw the Lilith connection, I just knew there could be more.
PS: The spicy was very spicy. Like hallo... this is J.J. Arias.

Before I say anything else - despite the 3⭐️ rating and some complaints, I did enjoy this book and am excited for book 2.
That said, I think that the pacing and structure was much more suited for a two person PoV / couple rather than a throuple. It was difficult to feel for any of the characters because there didn’t seem to be much depth.
I did like the general idea of and personality of the characters though, but if something were to happen to one of them I wouldn’t feel it in my jellies. I’m a serial sobber when it comes to books because I’m a giant empath, so not feeling much isn’t a good thing.
The world is interesting, plot is interesting, but nothing ever really connects in a satisfying way. I’ve enjoyed all of the contemporary romances I’ve read from this author, so I think that it may come down to lack of experience writing fantasy combined with the difficulty of writing throuples. I’m here for the long haul though and can’t wait to see her evolve as an author.
Spice is a wee bit repetitive, but hot nonetheless. Definitely romance first, plot second, spice where you can shove it kinda book (not a complaint because I’m generally totally okay with this, depending on my mood).

I did like the general idea of and personality of the characters though, but if something were to happen to one of them I wouldn’t feel it in my jellies. I’m a serial sobber when it comes to books because I’m a giant empath, so not feeling much isn’t a good thing.
The world is interesting, plot is interesting, but nothing ever really connects in a satisfying way. I’ve enjoyed all of the contemporary romances I’ve read from this author, so I think that it may come down to lack of experience writing fantasy combined with the difficulty of writing throuples. I’m here for the long haul though and can’t wait to see her evolve as an author.

For Love of Blood and Fury completely floored me. J.J. Arias crafted a paranormal world that feels both familiar and entirely its own, filled with powerful women, dangerous magic, ancient mysteries, and a romance that had me hooked from the very beginning.
At the heart of it all are Elena, Zuri, and Marisol. What could have easily become a complicated love triangle instead unfolds into something far more beautiful. We get a complex and cohesive relationship built on trust, devotion, vulnerability, and choice. Elena's magnetic confidence, Zuri's fiery spirit, and Marisol's quiet strength complement each other perfectly, creating a throuple dynamic that feels balanced, natural, and impossible not to root for. Watching them navigate old wounds, new possibilities, and undeniable feelings was every bit as captivating as the action unfolding around them.
The chemistry is undeniable and the steam is absolutely blazing, but what stood out most was the emotional depth beneath it. As an exclusively monogamous person, I had to open my mind to reading about a throuple, and I am so glad I did. Arias creates a relationship that feels balanced, intentional, and deeply rooted in trust, ensuring no one ever feels like an afterthought. This story understands that love requires courage. It asks its characters to be vulnerable, to trust their hearts, and to fight for the people who matter most. Every relationship felt earned, and every connection felt meaningful.
The world-building was equally addictive. The magic, creatures, and lore felt fresh and exciting, leaving me desperate to learn more about this universe and the secrets still waiting beneath the surface.
Filled with heart-pounding action, powerful women, found family, and a love story that burns as fiercely as it heals, For the Love of Blood and Fury is an unforgettable start to a series that only gets better (and hotter) from here!
Favorite Quotes:
"People have never feared magic. They fear the women who wield it."
"I'm going to take what I want. And I'm going to enjoy it."
"If women woke up all at once, if they realized the true extent of their power, the world would crumble at their feet. They would bring empires to their knees, shatter the chains of inequity, and remake the world in their image."
"Love is rich with both honey and venom."
"After lifetimes of seeing humanity at its worst, [she] was the embodiment of kindness and compassion and bleeding empathy."
"Stop ignoring what your heart tells you and trust it. Love is not meant to be easy or safe. It required courage, vulnerability, a willingness to hold out the most raw part of yourself and risk it being trampled."
"It wasn't the end that she was fearing. It was the blinding promise of something new."

So…I was skimming the spice to get to the plot. That’s the rating. I need to stop trying with JJ’s urban fantasy takes cause what in the sookie stackhouse horniness is this? Elana had horny teenage boy energy pretty much at all times though technically she is the oldest at 200+ years old. The other two were a little better but not by much. This story immediately hooked my UF side and I wanted to know more about this world of vampires, witches and “healers”. The characters and their romance though fell flat. I doubt I’ll make it to the second book.

DNF @ 20%// I'm so sorry, I just couldn't handle the cringe dialogue
January 20, 2025
when i first started reading this i nearly DNFed it because i was unsure if id like the polyamory and i wasn’t really vibing with the book but im so glad i kept going because the three leading ladies in this book are so damn delectable that i want to eat them so that they are permanently inside me.
i do however, reckon this could’ve been one 500-600 page book if we didn’t spend 40% of the last 50% with marisol, zuri, and elena having sex. like go relationship development! but we didn’t need like 40% sex when there was still plot to be explored.
looking forward to book 2 however!!

This book absolutely had me in a chokehold! When it wasn’t blowing my mind with incredibly hot 🌶️ scenes it was dragging my heart with the utter love and want dripping from Marisol, Zuri, and Elana. I was 100% not prepared for the ride I got taken on but I still enjoyed every single second of it.

Wow!
Ahhhh this book 🔥 holy. F***ing s*** this book is amazing. (Bites knuckle) JJ Arias has written a spicy, throuple, paranormal, sapphic romance, and if all those don’t do it for you, you’re missing out.
Spice (I had put my kindle down and stare blankly into space whilst my equilibrium returned) that’s brain meltingly, mind alteringly good, and storyline to match, this book was epic.
Elena, a vampire, head vampire actually, is attacked on her own turf. When she’s taken to a human hospital, she encounters Marisol, a nurse whose natural abilities to heal are more than a bit supernatural. Without her memories and body broken, Elena is in the most vulnerable position she’s ever been in. But something about Marisol draws her in. Zuri, a witch, Elena’s ex but still hung up on her, hears of the attack and sets out to find her. Upon doing so, she too encounters Marisol and is just as enraptured.
With the constant POV shift, you get to explore all of these delicious women from each perspective and it is sinfully wonderful. Their connection is explored perfectly as well as giving us such a clear view of who they are.
The drama, the mystery, intrigue and have I mentioned the spice? It’s all very very good, I do love the way JJ Arias writes and this is no exception. Read this book!

4-4.5* would not dissuade anyone from giving this book a go so definitely rounding this rating up. What will it take and cost to build a new coven? What’s the secret to Bambi’s power? Can Elena keep her status as the true vampire leader ? How are the 3 of them going to keep on a good relationship track with the amount of shit going on In very direction ? All things I’m desperate to read the answers to come October … plus these three know how to GET DOOOOOWWNNN.
Seems like the vulnerable moments are few and far between for our throuple but it’s also understandable given the 300 years Elena has behind her, Zuri is scarred and trying her damnedest to protect herself and Marisol is so fresh, we just need more time with everything for her. Feel like we’ll get more of the non sex intimacy for book2.
I think what was missing though is the true depiction of their supernatural world. I felt as though I was filling in gaps based off the many vamp/witch/werewolf books I’ve already read. Wish there were more opportunities for Zuri to use her powers in different scenarios. There wasn’t much tension in the original attack on the cartel which starts the ball rolling for everything and the revenge taken towards the end of the book was only mildly thrilling.
Elena is clearly a bad B, but i really felt like I knew that more from Zuris comments in passing more than anything happening in real time. Even when if came to her killing, there’s only 1 that stood out as real rage induced and merciless. The talk of having her victims beg for the relief of the death was not seen here in my opinion. Was hoping for even more ruthless behaviour but maybe I’m tapped for that.
Lots of potential for book 2 though.

This book had me doing the one thing I never thought I'd do. I had to skim through chapters because after almost literally half the book being sex scenes when I was promised vampire/witch/healer intrigue, it just becomes repetitive, no matter how imaginative they become. Part of the problem is that each one has to top the one prior, so it's a never ending escalation. There is very little actual romance, and there is even less action or intrigue happening.
I liked that this was a poly romance, though romance might be a strong word for it. The problem is with all the spicy scenes, the author doesn't leave any time for the development of the emotional connections. There is actually a great scene...it comes completely out of left field and flies in the face of how Marisol acted up until then, but I loved her calling Elena out on treating her like a sex toy and not a romantic partner. This scene is immediately followed by Elena ravishing Marisol...so no, she did not learn her lesson or change. And despite the stink she threw, Marisol doesn't hold her accountable. This is endemic of the entire romance. There is lots of passion, lots of chemistry, but almost no getting to know each other. None of them share with the others about themselves. It's so shallow.

🔥🔥🔥
Wow, I completely devoured this book and I’m not the least bit surprised. Arias does it again and brings in such amazing characters that I was fully invested in their story. Did I know I needed a sapphic throuple paranormal romance? No, but I’m so glad I got it. The way Elena, Zuri, and Marisol balance each other and bring out the best is delicious. And the spice!! Can’t wait to see what’s next in their adventure.

This was a fun read. I liked the characters and the throuple romance was well done with a lot of 🔥🔥🔥. Kind of light on plot but I was in it for the romance anyway. 4.5 stars.

Synopsis:
Elena is the leader of a vampire family, or cartel. After years of not speaking, Zuri, the love of Elena’s undead life, appears to ask for a favor: Help save Zuri’s coven of witches. Before Elena can do anything, she is attacked. The once indomitable Elena is nearly destroyed and left unconscious to die. She wakes in a human hospital, surrounded by unknown people and Marisol, a kind hearted nurse who can’t bear to see her patients in pain. But Marisol is not all that she seems. Just as danger reappears, so does powerful Zuri. The three escape together. So much (and romance) ensues.
Review:
I knew that Arias was writing this book. She’s really good at teasing her WIPs. I even knew a little bit of what I was getting myself into because I know someone who was posting little snippets here and there (some of which had me twisting my head back and forth like a confused dog as I attempted to parse the sexual gymnastics). I, however, did not quite know the extent of it all. So I’m going to start off with a disclaimer: She BIG. Amazon says the book is only 362 pages, but it feels way larger than that, probably because so much happens. There is either bedroom action (sometimes wall or shower action) or action action happening on damn near every page which just really keeps your head spinning. But, you know, in a good way. This book is definitely a page turner. Underneath all of that action, though, is a great deal of world building, the vast majority of which is subtle enough that you might not notice it until you’re nodding along with Elena asserting that only females can make more vampires (like, duh, of course). This is my favorite version of fantasy, when the author doesn’t need to bash you over the head with every little detail, but instead just slips it in here and there until it feels natural. Arias really brings her supernatural Miami to life. It will be interesting to see where she takes her world in book two.
And speaking of slipping things in... okay, so there is sex in the book. A LOT OF SEX. Really hot sex. And once I read the book and not just excerpts, I figured out how all of the parts were managing to go together. If you are looking for hot AF sex scenes, well my friends, you have come to the right place. Arias really takes the gloves (amongst other things) off. One of the things that I really enjoyed about the story was seeing it through the eyes of all three women.If you started reading a scene from the book to me, I would easily be able to tell you who was speaking. Zuri has such a distinct voice. She is world weary and heart broken and sick of everyone’s shit. Marisol is naive and confused, but also eager and generous. Elena is jaded and smug and controlled while also furious and scared and heart broken. It’s Arias’s touch here that makes this work. She put extra care into making sure each woman had their own voice and their own world view and it shows. That is what makes the story work. Not the sex or the vampires being all broody. It’s the differences in the women as they navigate a landmine filled world and how those differences inform the decisions of the narrative. It’s what really gives the story, and Elena, Zuri, and Marisol, life. Even if vampires aren’t your thing, I highly recommend this. You should go get a copy.

I’m a girlie who likes some developed plot entree with my smut side dish and unfortunately I left this book underfed
-
In all seriousness, I was anticipating an exciting plot and I fear it was very surface level and predictable. And what we lacked in developed plot we made up for in sex scenes I guess which were frequent to the point of boring. It felt at times like a “how many ways can I get a threesome to happen in a new and unique way” challenge that I didn’t want or need. A move that I was not expecting at all from Arias, because I’ve read two of her other books, Breakup Buddies and Like First Love, Again, which I adored. I honestly am shocked this was written by the same author cause what I loved about the other books I’ve read by the author weren’t present. I refuse to lose faith in Arias because she’s written many books and is an icon in the sapphic lit space but this was not her best work.

Arias heard "why choose" and said, "hold my beer"
Review breakdown:
Writing: fack. I gave up on arias a month ago and apparently forgot. this is 3rd party but swaps between the three leads while also not giving a distinguishing voice between them.
Characters: confident, sultry, bad-girl, vamp queen. walking sex. confident, intellectual, snarky, bad-ass, witch. also walking sex. the ultimate "why choose scenario." was rooting for these two.
the third lady is the reader's self-insert because she's dull af compared to these other two women although, apparently, she is also walking sex. rooting for the poly relationship because yay 3-woman poly relationship!
Plot: if there's a plot, I missed it. this is basically just woman on woman on woman sex. I think there's a man doing man things in the background. if you just want to read a bunch of sex, this is your book! I eventually got bored and started zoning out. the final chapters were a chore to get through.
I will not be reading book two. no more arias for me.
What would make this an extra star read for me: pacing? and nurse-lady was not bringing it the way the other two were. hopefully she gets more interesting in the next installment. guess I'll never know.
Vibes: started off promising and I genuinely lolled a few times, but this got boring fast and didn't recover.

I was really enjoying it in the beginning but then there was a lot odlf repetition. Way too many sex scenes, it got boring after a while. I liked Zuri but Marisol took sometime to have a personality and Elena is possessive and cannot be serious for more than 2 second. I don't really see anything in the throuple's relationship beyond lust. But it's fine as a quick read to turn your brain off.

This book is so good! It’s the first sapphic polyamorous novel I’ve read, and it was absolutely worth it. I love the way J.J. Arias writes. I especially enjoy how she always includes little mentions of Cuba, and that at least one—if not both—of the main characters are Cuban. It always leaves me craving a café con leche.
The plot and characters are great, and the spicy scenes are almost too hot for my little gay heart—but I powered through to the end! This is the first book in the series, and thankfully the second one is already out because the first ends on a cliffhanger. I’m definitely ready for the rest of this adventure.
