Repetitive Writing Made This Hard to Love. This is a 2.5‑star read for me, rounded up because the bones of the story are good.
The author leans so heavily on the same descriptors, strategic, analytical, intense, that they stop feeling like character traits and start feeling like filler. I don’t need to be reminded every few pages that the four MCs are intense; I got that early on.
What really pulled me out of the story, though, was how identical the emotional beats became. Every time one of the men touches the FMC, she “grounds” them in the exact same phrasing. All four ask her to promise she won’t leave, not in their own way, using the exact same words. All four react in the same way, like they’re one character copied four times instead of distinct people with their own voices. Instead of building tension or connection, it just made the story feel flat and predictable.
And that’s the real shame, because the bones of the story could be strong. With better beta readers or a more attentive editor, these issues could have been caught and shaped into something much more polished. As it stands, the repetition is so distracting that I’m not sure I want to continue the series, even though the potential is clearly there.

A kiss at 81% does not equal an explicit spice rating
Skin hunger is correct. A spicy novel this is not. The story was pretty interesting but there were holes. There were paths I thought the author would explore more but didn’t. It honestly could have done with a bit more editing. There was once conversation with Petra where the FMC literally referred to something that happened with “Petra” instead of saying “you”. There was ZERO spice in this book which is fine as long as you don’t label the book as having explicit spice. There was barely any heat or attraction. It felt like a 5 way friendship to be honest. Please considering revisiting your description to not mention spice or explicit content.

Copy paste
This was a frustrating read. The overall story is a good one, however it is very much let down by the lack of contextual background, character development and repeated storyline phrasing. Paragraphs are repeated literally time and again. What happens with one pair of characters, then happens in consecutive time to the others, no variation, no further background and no time scale differences.
Spoiler! - They all apparently gain a 'strong emotional connection', but all they really do is touch and cry about it. There is no further background or character development beyond that. And I really wish they did! It would be great to explore the characters more and really develop each individual one. If the male leads were more defensive, obsessed or ...something! Any slight hint of a background outside the academy/base/whatever it is they are based at would have really enhanced not just the characters, but the story too.
It has promise, but it really does need a bit more work before I'd recommend it.

AVOID. 100% Ai. 100 odd books written in the last 6 months. I think not.
Super repetitive. Using — a lot. Constantly describing things with synonyms like express, illustrate, depict.
Glad I caught on with in the first chapter.

It was ehh
It started off pretty great but towards the end it sucked. It just got like a clinical experiment. No emotions, nothing. The heat level was nothing. It's like the writing died off towards bad poetry. I was looking forward to the emotional growth but it just felt like I was reading a thesis on physics. The beginning of the book set up such a good setup. Not worth it at all in the end. I don't write reviews and I'm only doing it because it was obnoxiously disappointing. Haven't read books with this type of outline so I was very excited. So I am very not happy. So happy this is on Kindle because if I had to pay money, I would have been pissed.

This book was incredibly hard to read because of the constant repetition. It felt like the author just copy-pasted half of the text and changed a few minor details each time. The connections between Wren and the guys feels shallow because every interaction was essentially the same. The idea is there, but the execution is poor.

It started well, but the writing was repetitive. As in whole paragraphs were literally copied and pasted within a few pages of each other. Disappointing because with a bit more effort, it could have been a really good book.

Dnf. Repetitive, chunky sentences and too many paragraph changes.
Also like to point out that the plot not only matches a lot of Vesper Wolfe's Skin Deep, but Ivy has pushed out over 50 books this year alone and that makes me not want to read her books. I have my suspicions and the writing is just not good enough to continue anyways.
I love the premise of skin starvation and isolation. But the execution is lackluster at best.

Blaahhhhh
So I'm guna start with I HATE THE NAME, but that's definitely not the biggest problem. The description of this book says, mature audience ,explicit scenes, high heat, etc. like 3 or 4 separate time. There is NO adult content in this book. It's totally fine for books to not have sexual scenes, obviously,but don't say that the book is full of this when there is NONE. That's a false description. Other than that every convo the fmc has with each guy is cut and paste the same. At first the thought the repetitive nature what like a cute like theme. Then I realized the author is just being extremely lazy. There is also barely any world building and pretty much no conflict. The story goes nowhere and this book has nothing to say. Disappointed 😞

had potential but needs a rewrite
I really really wanted this book to be better than it was. It had a great base storying and elements., the characters were interesting and had some depth. But there was allot of repetition of the same paragraphs or information and the spice was non existent, which would have been fine, but as a book that has been advertised as explicit to have no spice was disappointing. Overall the book has great potential but needs a rewrite.

2.5 ⭐️’s
Beware, this is heavily AI influenced.
Has many of the classical errors.
Heavy repetition, both in word usage, phrases, and information.
Where different characters use the same expressions and exact words.
Where the same information, and comments, are repeated in the next page or so, sometimes more than twice.
Very little world building. It’s all about the moment, with details added as needed to create the story, rather than the story evolving , and details revealed within its development.
Problems were deliberately, and obviously created, and just as deliberately, and obviously, solved.
Lastly, the dialogue is too perfect, too mature, too explicit. It feels fake. Like a computer wrote it, not a mortal, flawed, and unique individual.
Awesome story concept!
But I skipped so much, and it didn’t matter.
One thing I will say, the author managed to stay on top of any continuity errors, and the classic AI changing, and forgetting, key details.
But, as much as I loved the idea and the possibility within the characters, I won’t be continuing. It was just too repetitive, flat, and obvious.
(If the author were to do a thorough edit, I would reconsider.)

Great plot. Badly advertised
This book was a good read. The plot and magic system were unique and interesting. There needed to be more world building and explanation of where and how this world exists. The writing was good, characters interesting. But it was advertised as a spicy paranormal romance, sizzling tension and explicit scenes in all caps several times.
Now there's nothing wrong with a low to no spice read. The writer wrote of love and profound feelings beautifully. But there is no tension, no sexualising references whatsoever. Its not slow burn its no burn.
I dont have an issue with the book. Just the faulty advertising.

Soooo many inconsistencies. Like K saying repeatedly he had killed someone in a training accident but no one breath later saying the guy was alive. There was a lot of the same questions and same answers by the exact same two to five people only a few pages apart, just BOOM having the same conversation repetitively just in a different room. I LOVED the idea of this but really disliked the execution.

No depth or realism in any capacity…
A romance that is simply not believable. It is surface level. Everything is. The friendship (if you could even call it that), the bully, the disdain from some teachers but not others. Everything is surface level, we are told but not shown everything. There is no world building or explanations. It made for a boring and frustrating read. By the end I was just rushing in hopes that it would be over soon and I could move on. I have no interest to read more about these people or to discover the remainder of the plot. This read as a stand alone novel honestly.
I think my other major issue with this series other than the surface level everything was that it felt fake and toxic. They did not love each other, they chose to bond out of force and convenience. No infatuation could make up for the fact that they had zero interest in her until she could touch them. They never once said why they were attracted to her outside of her ending their isolation. I just couldn’t get over the fact that they would have accepted literally anyone, absolutely anyone who could touch them. She was not chosen based on who she was but on what she could do for them and I think anyone deserves better than that. Not once was there a statement of his beauty, intelligence, humor, etc that drew them in. It was always that she was brave enough, selfless enough to end their isolation and touch them. Sure could it have grown into more? Of course (not that there was any real growth shown). However the foundation was rocky at best. They didn’t even try to take the easy out and make it an instant attraction mate bond situation. She went from no one to them to a possibility of touch and that was it. I think any girl would want more than that.
Also it really bothered me there were inconsistencies. A large one was that the men never touched each other over the years. Regardless of all having strong powers it was repeatedly established that they couldn’t touch each other. So how did they share in hugs? Multiple times 2 guys hugged her at the same time. So they can touch now? Who knows as it was never established.
Also she was in training for one month before she “graduated” and became part of an elite team who could go on the most difficult missions? With barely any knowledge of the supernatural world as she was repeatedly spacing out during the few lessons she attended. With a severe lack of physical training as well. Tactically it makes no sense.
If they graduated why would they stay on campus with students? Why would they not live elsewhere? It’s odd.
Finally it was incredibly annoying to read a few scenes that were almost verbatim. She would repeat the same descriptions of the guys, her feelings for them and what she felt were their strengths over and over again. Each time it was received as profound as if it was the first time it was thought or heard. It just reiterated that everything felt fake and shallow.
This book needs a lot of revision and editing. Along with potentially a new name because “Skin Hunger” just isn’t portraying what I feel the author was intending.

Ai slop
They're all the same these books look like they can all be from one author but there's hundreds. It's so frustrating. Like they just start in the middle of a story but they don't explain the world they don't explain what kind of supernaturals these people are what kind of powers or connections what they're even called and then they're just jumping to like people just meeting and already have emotional connections but there's nothing to explain it there's no like immediate soul bond there's no alpha omega there's no reason whatsoever. They're just constantly looking for each other and then running away. There's no descriptions of anything and there's constantly just statement statements statement. There's no thoughts or descriptions of emotions and every single guy is the exact same like yeah they might be shaped differently or look differently I don't know the descriptions aren't they're very vague if they're there at all. But they all react the exact same way she reacts the exact same way meeting each one of them she feels pain from their power and then underneath all of that pain she feels their heartbeat every single time she meets any one of them and she touches every one of them it's the exact same reaction and the man asks the exact same with the exact same look and the exact same feelings you could just see in his face or his eyes or whatever it's just so frustrating. There's no emotions described whatsoever no thoughts no feelings but then suddenly there's a feeling but not really it's just it's like two robots meeting over and over and over and then there's a description of attachment it's freaking weird.

This story was so different than the other why choose, fantasy, academy books I've read. First, the concept of touch starvation is something I've heard but never experienced. The writing on this topic was very good as I felt how each heir felt the lack of human touch. Not something I'd ever wish on another person. Second, I liked the FMC but I also don't feel like I know/understand her. She is intelligent and emotionally wise, but beyond her story with her mom she is still a mystery. I actually feel like I know the MMCs better than the FMC.
The reason I only gave 3 stars though is the last quarter from the bonding ceremony to the end was very repetitive. Like entire passages felt copy/paste into new chapters so I ended up skimming a lot of the last quarter of the book. This book also does not end on a cliffhanger, so I feel like I could be done and not anxious about what happens next with the Boundary Entity. I'm still debating on whether I read the next book or not because I can't do the constant repetitiveness.

I so very wanted to love this book. I loved the premise and I loved the vulnerability of the men when they got their first touch after such a long period but the text was so repetitive and the actions became repetitive. Even with an active bond so that she could feel the emotions of the men, she still has to ask them about whether they’re okay with the bond. Sadly, for me, it made the characters become 2 dimensional. There also seemed to be continuity issues as well. When she first touched Soren, it was outside the pit where the crowd watches but it’s later referred to as she touched him in the pit. Petra also became very annoying in the way she would give very strong opinions with no real info to back it up and the way it ended, the FMC has been at the school for a matter of weeks and now she and the whole unit are on active duty as newbies and they can pick their own deployments? Really disappointed to be honest.

Great idea. Poorly executed.
It’s such a great idea, and the author has a lot of potential for writing great books in the future. However, this book suffers from lots of stereotypical problems.
There are some minor technical writing issues that stood out, especially at the start. None of the supporting characters are fleshed out. There’s no exploration of any feelings deeper than surface level. No character development occurs. There’s stereotypical “no dimension” mean characters that get mentioned. Theres a pretty slow non-existent plot.
They are at a training academy. Training for what? I don’t know. It wasn’t really explained or reiterated throughout the book.
The writer has potential. As I said, it’s a great idea and parts of this book were good. As a whole, I felt like it just needed some polishing and more depth.

Hopeful expectations, can't recommend
It's called skin hunger and we get 5 total kisses with no detail. I've seen operating theatres pre-incision dirtier than this. The romance was straight forward declarations of love and a few kisses.
Some of the timings didn't line up with little inconsistencies like how she had seen all the damage one of the MLs had done over months, but she'd been there 3 days.
The writing style was also odd. There was weird emphasis on some things, especially emotions, that kind of reminds me of when my Chat GPT discussion tries to get too encouraging and away from the parameters I set. That's not to say that this is AI, simply that the writing style isn't one I favour and reminds me less of other books I have read and more of helpful AI trying to cheer me up after my plant died (again).
I won't be reading more of this series.

Decent Read
I enjoyed this story. It sucked me in with the female lead characters emotions. From feeling stuck, to pressured to enjoyment of her choices. The guys all fell for her as soon as they learned what she was, and how she was pushing for them to accept her touch, her love for them. She understood their loneliness. It was pretty fast paced throughout the book. The reason I rated it 4 stars, I can’t count how many times people have second guessed her understanding the levity of her decisions. It was like a broken record of her saying “I understand” and someone else saying “Do you? Do you really”? I have to say it was probably close to a dozen times or more.

could be better
The concept it good and has so much potential, I really struggled reading this book because I generally go bored of the repetition a few times I thought I was re-reading a full chapter, granted I’ve only finished book 1 I don’t have it in me to carry on the series it might get better. It also says in the overview “heat level explicit 18+ graphic descriptions”…..they hold hands and have a little kiss might be graphic for a nun but personally was very disappointed

Okay. So, I read this in one day. However I don’t believe it deserves any stars, I am 90% sure this was written by AI. The fact this author has published 40+ books since the start of 2026, there was continuous usage of the exact same sentences. I read one chapter of the second book and that’s when I started to do research and found more concerning information.
I’m actually devastated because the premise of the book had huge potential and I’m even more devastated that this book counts towards my reading challenge.

Good plot but the repetition is a little much.
Really enjoyed the concept of the book and will be reading book 2 to see where it goes but I’m hoping the repetition is gone. The characters don’t seem to interact naturally ( nor the author is telling us it’s natural but it’s not coming across that way when they all speak individually in a group scene. And as a reader I get it… they’re together. They do it all together. Together forever. Together.

Great plot and writing
Book 1, Skin Hunger, has a lot of great storyline going for it and it starts off strong but then it gets a little repetitive. Not enough to DNF, and the writing is strong enough I'm going to read book 2 to see if the potential I see pans out. I loved the descriptions of the skin touch hunger though. It reminded me how valuable and necessary touch is for some.

This had so much story potential, but the constant repetition and rehashing of previously mentioned experiences, feelings, realisations was jarring.
The connections with each love interest hinged around a single personality trait. If the FMC did anything with one of the the four MMCs, she immediately did it with the other three.
This should have been a first draft, it needs more work and heavy editing.

loved the first 1/3
I really enjoyed the first third of this book, which sucks because the rest felt very repetitive.
Literally felt like each interaction with her obsidian rank was basically the same conversation times 4. Literally would sit here thinking, did I just read this, would flip back and yea, had just read it with a different character.
Ending also felt super rushed to try and put a bow on all the problems.

slow burn
The beginning of the book hooked me in, great story line it’s interesting and kept me reading. After the relationships formed there was Zero spice, just a few kisses without much heat to them. This is fine however it is giving a “friends” vibe not relationship vibe, I also found it repetitive which caused me to skim through the second half of the book.

Wish I had come to good reads reviews before starting to read this “authors” books. In each of the different series are all the books are published on the same day, are super repetitive, and there is no actual background on this author on amazon, Goodreads, or when you google them!
Overall book has no missing plot lines but just can’t get past the repetitive AI generated paragraphs.

Repetitive and slow
The idea had potential but was so slow and lacked any actual substance. Each interaction the FMC had with one male character was then repeated almost word for word with the other 3. I pushed through hoping there would be more to the story but it was just constant rehashing of the trauma/isolation/loneliness of each character.
