Brothers of Eschat #1
Unsolicited
It starts with an unsolicited d!ck pic that led me to the @rgy where I met six glorious men for a night of my life. Don't worry, this doesn’t result in an accidental pregnancy. It’s a whole lot weirder than that.
By the next afternoon, I found some odd marks on my body. They’re very obviously not bruises. It starts with a red line spiraling around my left ankle that kinda looks like a snake. And then a gray-blue star on my hip. By the time the fourth mark shows up, I realize that each one is where one of them men had held me while we… you know.
I’m starting to feel like a freak show as they continue to cover my body as visible reminders of my salacious night. Now, I’m doing the unthinkable - tracking down my one night stand (all six of them) to figure out what the f*ck is going on.
All I can say is I’m not prepared for the world I’ve been marked into. But at least the men are hot and hung.

She has a habit of creating secondary, and often time tertiary, characters that take over her stories. When she can't fall asleep at night, she thinks up new scenes for her characters to act out. This, of course, is how most of her meant-to-be-thrown-away characters tend to end up front and center - and utterly swoon-worthy! Don't ask her how many book boyfriends she has...
When not writing, Crea is an avid reader. Her TBR pile is several hundred books high (don't even look at her kindle wish list or the unread books on her tablet). Sometimes, she enjoys crafting; sometimes, exploring nature; sometimes, traveling. Mostly, she enjoys putting her characters on paper and breathing life into them. Oh, and sleeping. Crea loves to sleep!

Incomplete: description, story arc, character development, and world building.
This floundered all over the place, going from 3⭐️’s to 2⭐️’s, and back, sometimes down to 1⭐️, but never above the 3⭐️.
I really, really liked the premise of this, but the execution was a miss for the most part.
Would I recommend it, NO. But I won’t say don’t read it, there may be enough for others to enjoy 🤷♀️
I did finish it, and within a reasonable amount of time…so there’s that.
It was so weird how good the writing was, and also how bad and lacking.
The dialogue was so perfectly flowing, until you got to the [many, many, many] sex scene’s, then the FMC sounded like a bad male centric porn actress. 😳 😂
We got so many details in one sense, that it took me awhile to realise and become frustrated by the blatant lack in every other aspect.
The author mentions tattoos, how they flow down the arm, wrap around the shoulder, etc.. The bright and eye catching colours, how they subtly flow through…
Notice what’s missing?
We have no idea WHAT the Tatts are, what COLOURS are used, barely understand how big, where exactly on the body, how they fit, and so on.
We get told about a field of flowers, where there is a suggestion of a pattern…you know what critique I have.
This prevented me from ever being subsumed within the story, always trying to figure out the visuals.
I couldn’t tell you what any of the characters truly looked like, beyond the FMC’s [shade?] purple hair.
Added on to this, all their voices merged together, even their endearments. The only difference with the FMC, was her screaming.
But the story intrigued me, the humour had me chuckling at times, and the writing in between the overdone and boring orgies, was weirdly well done [minus visuals].
The sex.
We are warned that there will be A LOT, and there IS.
Sadly there’s very little steam either before, during, or in between. It’s pure male centric pornographic. Combined with the very poorly written visuals, it was boring. Even, or especially, the monster sex.
Pro: it’s not filled with sappy, Insta love. It’s all about the sex and lust. Funnily, I appreciated this! 😂 one of the reasons I could keep reading.
In that sense [only], it was more grounded, more believable [? 🤣 ? 🫣 ? 🥱].
Moreover, you never get to experience anything remotely monsterish about the MMC’s. Even during their sex moments,, it was difficult to think of them as other than spoilt, white, 20 somethings [supposed to be thousands of years old].
Additionally, considering they come from all different cultures and mythologies, why are they all Caucasian? At least I think they are, everything about them read this way.
No world building as to where everything came from, who created it, how different beliefs work together or why. How they interact with our world, why, and so on, and so on.
Aliens are even momentarily mentioned, even [seen?], then nothing. 😮💨 so, so frustrating!
We know nothing about the FMC other than she’s a successful photographer who knows nothing about art [ WTF 🥱😳😵💫 bullshit].
No friends, family, location mentioned.
She’s supremely calm and accepting about almost everything.
Spoiler Alert 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨
Baddies try to capture FMC and get her on a sacrificial alter, intent obvious. Rescued.
Baddies capture FMC and try to carve something into her [ it’s never described, so don’t know what]. Rescued.
Baddies capture FMC, stab and kill her.
Huh 🤨☝️ what happened to sacrificing? If you just needed to kill her, why not the multitude of other times?
Brought back to life mysteriously, and is now…what? 🤷♀️ doesn’t need food, but does need to breath…
Isn’t fazed when she learns of magic, monsters, other worlds.
Apocalypse happens, ah well, let’s have sex.
Billons dead, destruction everywhere, oh such and such said something funny, so adorable, let’s have sex.
Then, THEN,…nothing. It ends.
We don’t know who, what, why…and it’s a standalone, so no more to come.
Author claims while she didn’t plan it this way, it is intentional.
I call bullshit.
More like she wrote herself into a corner, got stuck, and went whatever, let’s end it.
She even states in her end notes, that she doesn’t know what the answers are, that if she ever figures it out, then she’ll write a sequel.
Yeah, sure it was deliberate. Deliberately ended because she didn’t know how else. 😜🙃😅
Total cop out, and should have been thoroughly edited!
p.s. has sooo many grammatical errors. Some are missing words, others just really badly written sentences. I think sometimes she was trying too hard to sound eloquent and intelligent.
Will I read this author again?
Based on the fact she stated in her end notes that she often ends her works similarly… NOPE.
Maybe one day she will grow as an author and complete a book, flesh out the details, at which time I would be willing to try again….

Wrong Number…
When Lux gets a random group text of unsolicited peen pics, as a photographer she critiques them and starts a dialogue with the 5 men in the group.
After a few days they want her to come to a party of sorts. When Lux arrives she’s shocked that the guys have invited her to full blown 0rgy. After participating only with Apo, Rage, Sham, Gedd and Sunny, Lux wakes the next day with weird markings on her body. She tries to contact the guys and it’s like they disappeared. She gets another random text of an address that says to go there for answers.
This is where her journey takes a big turn and she finds herself in a separate world.
This book is full of steam, twists and turns that will keep you entertained.
But…
For me it felt unfinished at the end but by the authors note it was meant to be that way.

In this crazy world we exist in now, filled with fear-mongers, brinksmanship, and just the general feeling that the world as we know it is ending, this story was exactly the explanation my warped and twisted mind could get behind. I loved Lux. She’s feisty and not afraid to go after what she wants. I was immediately fascinated by the Eschat Brotherhood; they’re certainly not the sort of thing you’re going to run into on the street. When this group got together, things got extra spicy. (I suggest turning up the air conditioning before starting to read.) Their challenges are unique and kept me engaged with the story for the whole book. I absolutely couldn’t put it down once I started reading. There’s still a question or two I’d love to chase down the answer to, however, I’m satisfied with the ending. It feels like it adds an extra bit of realism to close where it does.
I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the author.

What if the end of days isn’t a when, where or how but a who? This book looks into what happens when the end of days is a person/monster and there are more than one. The characters are both fun and filled with depth and character. There is so much steam that a sauna would be happy. Orgies are a staple in this book, with a lot of man on man action. The story itself kept me engaged. This is a standalone book but the ending leaves questions. The answers however are not vital for a satisfactory ending.

Interesting, spicy, and funny!
I am sad that I put off reading this book for so long. This story was unique, incredibly interesting, hilarious, and spicy!
The spice- seven men always seems like a lot but WOW did the author pull it off perfectly! The everybody loves everybody vibe was incredibly satisfying and slightly addicting!
The plot itself really kept me on my toes with questions and the action that took place. I’m excited to move to the next book and hopefully find out more about the unanswered questions in this part of their story!

I took a break on the intro of this one, mainly warning there's a lot of sex, wondering if it was the right time. Gave it a go anyway. It was fun. There was plot, there was sex and there was lengthy dick worship and critique on dick picks. The characters were interesting and fun. A lot of M/M, monster sex, orgies and world ending. Standalone but leaves space for a sequel.

Lux spends her days as a photographer, but she decides to spend just one night with five men. The passion is high, but she soon finds strange marks left over her body from her one night stand. Now she's tracking them down in order to find out what's going on, but she may not like the answers she finds.
Crea Reitan is quickly becoming a favorite author of mine. Their writing is fantastic and the stories they tell have the perfect mix of spice and plot. Lux is a fun, fiesty character that you can easily relate to. You live vicariously through her one night stand and feel like you're getting to have fun too.
I would have liked some questions answered before the book was over, but I'm hoping they'll be answered in another book.

This was such a fun read and man, was it hot. It was over the top hot but there was a great plot and a unique world to explore to go with that steam. I cannot imagine getting five unsolicited peen pics but that's the opening to Lux's story. Wild, right? She was a photographer and, being her cheeky self, she critiqued them ;P This led to an incredibly hot date and an adventure beyond her imagination, not to mention crazy tattoo-like markings all over her body ;) There were lots of characters, lots of story, humour and surprises, galore. I was so invested in a good outcome for her that I inhaled this book. It's also the first book I've read by this author but it definitely won't be the last :D

Lux is a photographer and enjoyed her human life. However, one day she accidentally receives spicy pictures from 5 men who have the wrong number. Lux is interested though, and the guys are too, so one thing leads to another. After a day of passion, the guys ghost Lux, but when marks start appearing on her body, she goes to search for them and enter a world that she didn't know about.
This book is one of the most spicy that I have read so far, and I loved it. You have to fan yourself multiple times per chapter from how hot it is, but it's worth it. It's a standalone with an open ending, so we don't get all the answers that we need, but I think it works for this book.
I was kindly provided with an ARC by the author, but I'm leaving a voluntary and honest review.

The first half of this was great, but the second half just kind of fell apart. I pushed through hoping it would come back together, but it never did. Also some of the spicy scenes were so complicated I had to read like 3 times to figure out what was happening lol.
Because the first half was so good, I'll probably pick up another book from this author in the future, but this one was just kind of messy.

Lots and lots of fun RH/MMMMMMM sexy sex.
Some decent enough plot, too.
Meh, to the ending. Now that I'm aware this author only ends on unresolved plot with no promise of a follow up, I'm not inspired to read more.

I enjoyed this book. The story is something I haven’t read before. You will just have to read the book to find out what I’m talking about. This is a standalone story. It’s mostly smut but with some plot. The smut is perfection. The scenes are all hot as hell. It starts out with Lux getting unsolicited d!ck pictures. She starts talking to these guys. She gets sent an invite to a party. Once she shows up it’s lots of group sexy time. She ends up with these marks on her body. The guys she was talking to and met up with just disappeared. She makes it her mission to find them and figure out what’s going on. There’s also some monster s*x in here as well. Please read the note from the author. If it’s not your cup of tea then please don’t read it. If this sounds like your type of book then you will love Lux and all of her men/monsters.

Holy Smutballs!! This book is d!*k heaven 🔥🔥. Unsolicited is kinky as hell with a lot of yummy group activities.
Who knew receiving unsolicited di*k pics could change your life….
After receiving multiple pictures via group text from unknown men, Lux finds herself inexplicably drawn to them. Meeting up for one steamy night should not have ended in strange tattoos appearing all over her body. Now Lux must track down these mysterious men and find out what the heck is going on.
I love the connection between the men and how amazing their bonds to each are. I loved the ideas surround who the men are and what happens when they are all together.
If you love monster p33n, lots of sexy MM times, end of the world vibes, and a unique world, this story is right up your alley.

4.5*
Really enjoyed this book!! From the get go I was completely engrossed in this book, it was “just one more chapter” after “one more chapter” I couldn’t put the my kindle down. Whilst Reitan lulls you into a false sense of security, she quickly pulls the rug from under you with the introduction to out leading monsters and their unsolicited d*ck pics. I absolutely loved the initial banter Lux had between her and the guys, giving them tips and tricks to help their *ahem* modelling careers, I couldn’t help but grin and giggle. When Lux is invited to their gathering things really start packing punches. Not even 10% into the story and already my Kindle screen was fogging up from the steam! Pre-warning everybody now if you’re not a fan of M/M avert thine innocent eyes, this is not the book for you. From the photos that get sent to Lux and the group activities she participates in when she first meets them should give you more than a taste of what is to come. And boy is there a lot of come..
“Fight or F*ck” is our harems’ proverb. I’m genuinely surprised it isn’t carved into their temples or home to be perfectly honest. To keep fighting to a minimum, lest they bring the end of days, there is a whole lot of f*cking. Though there was a lot of sword play… and tail play, it was sweet to read and see how much the guys loved each other, if Lux wasn’t such a perfect addition to their group they would have been happy to just be with each other. I loved reading about how the guys joked and looked out for one another and it was insanely cute how infatuated they were with Lux from the get go.
Speaking of Lux, she might be my all time fave character of Reitan’s. She’s knows who she is and her worth, nothing is going to stop her from living her best life. Whilst the guys pretty much instantaneously fell hard for her, Lux was not having it. She was happy to love ‘em and leave ‘em and then get back to a life that she loved. Until, of course, she discovered they’d marked her, then she was more than happy to track them down and demand they remove them. If that’s going to take a while, then she might as well enjoy the ride. Lux made me smile and laugh, a lot of her reactions to things were something I could actually see happening. Her fight scene being one of them. At least she tried and didn’t die with her a*s hanging out, that’s a win in my book!
Unsolicited ends with a happily ever after, for the characters at least. For me, however, am not... unhappy. Reitan has yet again written a story that is truly unique. Her world building is amazing and I love to explore the worlds she creates. Using little details from stories, cultures, and beliefs, there is a definite stamp of Retian’s passion and love of writing tales that you just don’t see. With this universe being so new, I was excited to explore and get answers to questions that arose as the plot developed. However, with the characters being perfectly happy to let the chips fall where they may, I am left unsatisfied in my quest for answers! Reitan fully acknowledges this in her note and suggests there MIGHT be a sequel should she feel the need to in the future but it’s not a guarantee. As understanding as I am to this, it’s still frustrating, so with that its lost half a star. This book started strong and stayed strong until that ending. You can't just edge a girl like that and not follow through!

Read it, loved it! The premise is funny and all. The story and world in general is unique, too. All the cultural aspects and how it is woven into, is fascinating.
I loved the world and relationships. The characters have an insane chemistry between each other. And each personality feels different and has their unique quirks. And I liked it, that Lux isn't a girl in her twenties. Though, she doesn't really act like a 38-year-old, and the cover picture underlines that for me. Which is not a problem, because I'm a firm believer that age is just a number, and you should be able to live your life how you see it fit and feels for you. And Lux owns that. So, there is no complaint there.
In general, the most important thing for me is, that I can relate to the characters and the world around her. And that was there. Throughout the story, there are a lot of sex scenes. Which isn't a bad thing in general, though I have my moods when it sometimes can get too much. Here it didn't bother me, even though it was really often.
The story isn't perfect. But let's be honest: What in life is really perfect? Nothing is, and nothing always will be. There is only the question, if something is to your taste or not. For me, it fit my taste perfectly, even if imperfect in some ways. But there is still beauty in imperfection.
And I always admire that in Crea Reitan's book. Generally, this counts for every book I loved, and gave five stars to, even if there are complaints and some reviews have rightful issues for them. But again, we each see things differently. And you will never find something that is loved by everyone. That's how it goes in life. And it is the reason, why someone likes something and others don't. It makes us different in our interests and predilections.
So, okay. There are a lot of questions open at the end. And it is mainly a HFN/open ending without being truly finished. But as Crea has stated in her note, it was supposed to be that way. And it hints that there will be a possible second book. And I kind of have read about that somewhere, too. Even though, I haven't seen an official announcement yet. If there is a plan for a second book, at this point it is probably a vague idea and, of course, not written yet. And things can change, too, depending on Crea's schedule in general. So, I'm not about to say there will be a guaranteed second book, but I'm very hopeful and of course, can't wait for it.
I really want to have the answers to some aspects, and I hope we will get them someday. But I can live with that ending for now. I mean, time is endless for them. So, it kind of fits, that they aren't jumping directly to the next adventure. I mean, there is a lot of 'f**k and fight' left. 😉
And they deserve a reprieve and a little peace for a while, too. So, it can wait for now.
I loved the world and relationships. The characters have an insane chemistry between each other. And each personality feels different and has their unique quirks. And I liked it, that Lux isn't a girl in her twenties. Though, she doesn't really act like a 38-year-old, and the cover picture underlines that for me. Which is not a problem, because I'm a firm believer that age is just a number, and you should be able to live your life how you see it fit and feels for you. And Lux owns that. So, there is no complaint there.

This book blew my mind. Seriously, Crea's brain is a strange and interesting place, this is the third book I've read by her and what they all have in common is a group of wonderful characters, interesting plots, high steam, and are incredibly unique. Unsolicited fits this description to a tee and I freaking loved it.
The story's characters are on the older side. Lux is a thirty-eight professional photographer who owns her own business and is very successful. So she's the artsy type with purple hair and a strong sense of self. Lux is a spunky, spitfire, who has a hint of daring, which she gonna need to deal with the guys that come into her life. I really liked her the only negative thing I have to say is that after all the D she was getting she was in deep denial about where her life was headed.
As for the guys, they are all ancient monsters who have nice packages. They all ooze power but not in a bad way. Apo is playing, Sham is the quiet one, Gedd is sweet, Sunny is all smiles, Rage is the brooding one, and Atar and Doom are nice. They are all intense and caring, this is a poly group and when they meet Lux everything just clicks. She fits in so well and while they have questions they can't deny the pull and by the end the bond is unbreakable.
To think this amazing story all started with a D pic. I'm not gonna lie this book had the most sex scenes that I have ever read and they weren't fade to black or quick little moments, no, these were long sessions, origies in almost every chapter. The pages were on fire and I was there for it. However, there was substance too, I liked the characters but the story was interesting. Strange markings, magical cities, a mix of different cultures, various settings, a variety of supernaturals, and more. Not to mention the mystery surrounding everything, who is behind the attacks? How were certain characters involved? Why were they doing this? Best of all, there were a lot of things happening but Crea was revealing everything slowly so there was no way to guess the overall picture until readers were so deep into the book that there was no going back, they were hooked.
Unsolicited was a wild ride and I loved every minute of it. While the story may have had inspiration from certain mythos, the story itself was so creative, rich in culture, magic, and steeped in mystery. Although I should warn you that while this is a standalone the end is gonna bite yah. It's an open ending and not all the mysteries are solved but it's an ending nonetheless. My only hope is that Crea will visit these characters again and give readers a more satisfying ending. No matter what it was worth it.

My Review
Could you imagine that a d!ck pic sent to you by mistake, could result in a night of passion/tattoos and more 🍆 than you should shake a stick at? No? Well that’s what happened too Lux…..
Lux is a photographer, she loves nothing more than capturing beauty in all its glory. So when a group of d!ck pics come her way, curiosity and appreciation for the male form has her conversing with total strangers (I do love the text parts of the book, did make me chuckle) and then an invitation to a party to meet up has Lux in a quandary, does she stay at home, or have a night to remember?
Let’s just say, there is a lot of spicy moments, and some may say maybe too much?! If it’s not your thing, then either skip over or don’t bother grabbing the book. It didn’t bother me, it became part of the story. In parts it did get a little monotonous, but it’s all part of this book.
I did enjoy the interactions between Lux and the men she was with when they weren’t all going at it 😉
I also enjoyed trying to work out the dynamics within the “brotherhood”, don’t panic, they aren’t blood related, they just refer to themselves as brothers.
And the tattoos I hear you ask, well, after her spending the night with them all, mysterious shapes begin to appear on Lux’s body! And she’s not happy, not happy at all! She goes in search of Sunny/Apo/Sham/Rage/Atar/Gedd and Doom to enquire what the hell the markings are about….
But they nowhere to be found! And a search is in order for Lux to have her questions answered.
There is a few twists that I sort of saw coming. There were also a few twists I didn’t see until I got slapped with them. There are definitely questions left unanswered. There is also m/m in this book (it’s not all about Lux 😉) I liked that Lux seemed more mature in age than usual FMC, I also liked her no nonsense attitude, her confidence and her brain (she didn’t become a doormat after being with the guys)
Sunny/Apo/Sham/Rage/Atar/Gedd and Doom are all great monsters/men, this is end of days (and as the author tells you in the front of the book, she created this world, her word is law) each has his own personality, i’d personally like to have seen a little more development.
Apparently this was suppose to be a one off book, but I’ve seen that there is now a second book. 🤷🏻♀️
I can see why we needed possibly a second book, as there was a few questions that needed answers, but to be honest I think the author could have left it at book one (my opinion)
Do they all have a happy ending? Well to find out you’ll have to read the book.

2.5 stars.
It seems I am perhaps answering/testing out/proving a theory, how much dick is too much dick in a story?
Well, in this case, 7 dicks with a somewhat discombobulated storyline is too much dick.
There are a lot of I don't know answers/scenes from the guys in the book. By the end of book 1, this is not answered and book 2 which is what initially attracted me to the series I can see based off some reviews it is still the same, the guys just don't know.
Do you know how annoying that is? End of world horsemen people have either their long lived memories as they exist through time, a purpose/calling and a god they answer to or good old fashioned commerce, have accumulated enough wealth and history that they can refer back to. The constant I don't know response from the guys was annoying and unfulfilling coz it was like she was steering a bunch of teenagers (in terms of historical intellect).
Clearly, Lux isn't fully human. I don't even know if by the end of book 2 the question is actually answered as to what she is. Why was she so set on getting back to her topside life, then after the apocalypse she is like it is what it is? Like give a character purpose in their whining for/being dead set about something.
I remember from the first sex scene I was lost as to who is fucking who and by the end I still am. Apart from like when the book is transitioning from them walking/talking to fucking, when we know it is this person with this person, the smut is vague especially when it came to the group scenes, you know someone is getting it up the ass, in the mouth, in her pussy but you can't tell at times who is who.
Then the guys all have 'fancy' names but their characters apart from when they change into their monsters don't have distinct voices, so to me they were basically all the same. Then why go through the trouble of finding Doom+Atar and then they sort of appear only as footnote characters even once they are freed when they are in their group scenes?
The book is also clearly fiction because if they were in such a group in real life and basically have no prep, lube or protection during their orgies, they would have been sick/hurting by meeting 3.
Then towards the end, the chapter title gave you a name as to whose perspective the story was from but it was basically just the same gist, fuck or fight, what is going on, we need to keep the girl; rinse and repeat with no real answers.
So, in conclusion, 7 dicks is too much dick, if it serves no real plot purpose.

This book started out fantastic. It sucks you right in when a multiple of unsolicited di*k pics gets sent to Lux. Right away she both appreciates and can critic each picture, being a professional photographer. When she confronts the numbers and explains they have the wrong number, instantly, a friendly relationship is started and she gives them the photographic criticism they need to send better ones for next time. lol.
This relationship blossoms into lustful thoughts quickly and soon she is invited to a party. Only when she shows up at said party, she was never expecting a giant Orgy. Living like theirs no tomorrow and having been already thoroughly introduced to each man's appendage, she dives right in. It is a night to remember but soon the adrenaline wears off and the next day she starts to notice strange markings on her body where each man touched her.
As the markings become more and more noticeable she starts her quest to find the guys who changed her body image. After pretty much hitting it and quitting it, she has no way to contact them and starts her own investigation. When she ends up walking into another dimension of sorts, she soon finds herself out of her element.
After finding the guys, The Brothers of Eschat - they too are not sure what the marks mean but realize she also bears the marks of their two long lost brothers. Now the quest continues to find the two brothers who might have the answers she craves. When each brother is essentially a different means to the end of the world, she must tread carefully for her life and everyone else life she knows could be hanging by a thread!
This was my first book by this author and I will definitely be adding more to my TBR! It was full of pure, utter steaminess and the other definitely knows what she's writing! ;-) The story, the plot, the writing sucked you in and I didn't want to stop turning the pages. I enjoyed this book a lot until the end. I thought the ending was crazy and then the way Lux reacted was so nonchalant about it. The very very ending was much different compared to what I am used to. It ended on HFN as a standalone but the author described that MAYBE in the future it could be more.
*Overall 4/5
*Heat? 5/5 (The first 10% was puuuure smut)
*Multiple first person POV
*Lots of MM
*MMMFMMMM Romance
*Ends on HFN

If you're looking for something that is a really fast burn, this is it! I think this book probably has the most schmexy scenes I've ever read in one book. The steam is high and the content is pretty constant, like every chapter pretty much. Despite that, you'll never get bored while reading. Crea keeps things interesting and there wasn't any repetitiveness that sometimes happens in other books when it comes to these types of scenes. If there was ever a book that made me feel like I needed to map out placements with stick figures, this would be it. I swear, this group seemed to always be connected in every possible way and with the amount of participants, the possibilities were endless.
Besides the steamy bits, the storyline was actually incredibly entertaining and kept me reading until the early hours of the day. The Eschat brotherhood and the different forms of the end of the world that they represented were so interesting and I loved seeing how they varied in different areas and countries around the world based on beliefs and myths. The addition of different monster forms to go along with those beliefs was a major bonus and spiced up some other areas of the book quite a bit too.
The fmc, Lux, was the perfect balance for all of the Eschat brothers. I loved her sarcasm and the humor she brought to the story as well. She was adventurous but still wanted to live her happy life in the normal world. You could tell from the beginning that she would put up a fight. Why give up your life for a group of guys you only knew for a short amount of time? It was fun seeing her get more and more accepting as the story went on as she got to know the guys a bit more, both their monster side and their more human side.
To those who have been following Crea for a while, you won't be surprised to see that the ending of this book is a HFN and left open. I've seen this with plenty of her stories, but it has never taken away from the incredible story and how much I enjoy her writing. It just gives me hope of future possibilities of a sequel or maybe even a shorter novella to clear things up. I still have plenty of questions as to why certain things happened that I would like to have answers to, but even if Crea decides to leave this story at the point it is now, I'll still be happy.

Apocalypse. Armageddon. Shambhala. Doom. Atar. Ragnarök. Sunny. End of the world theories and myths, or the delicious beginning to a top notch Reitan poly romance novel? Can it be both? Because while I have read my fair share of paranormal and dystopian stories, actual end of the world is a new trope for me. It's heavy stuff. We all sort of wonder about the end of the world, and Reitan wrote us a beautiful story in her typical s*x filled adventure style that keeps on the edge of our seat due to action and spice.
This is a more somber book than I'm used to reading. There is humor, and lots of melting bedroom moments, but also a large dose of consideration to ideas of end times not many of us delve into. I was wildly intrigued with the story's destination, and how an author handles the end of humanity and the world, with characters burdened with mortality. It seems counter-intuitive to mix romance and the actual end of all things, but it still worked. Our heroine Lux is cast into the middle of a delightful tangle of poly relationships. Reitan is excellent at writing true poly setups that feature fully bloomed relationships, not simply a RH configuration with some M/M explorations. Lux's story was no different, and I truly giggled at the concept of "d!ck-ins".
Adventure and destination are always considerations with Reitan's work. There was more than once I wondered how Lux was going to make it out. But this one left me sitting back and desperately wishing there was more. Is that a bad thing? Nope. I'll be thinking about this book for a while. And while slightly more serious than what I normally expect from Reitan, it's thought provoking in a way we don't often get to experience in the Romance genre.

OMG, this book is hot! If you like your spice to be dirty, kinky and a group activity then this is definitely the book for you. This is a reverse harem, but the couplings are any mix of MF, MM, MMF, MMMF....monster, you get the idea. The storyline of this book is very different and unique. Lux is a rising star of a photographer who just happens to find herself drawn into an unknown group text chat that just so happens to include dick pics aplenty. A spur of the moment decision to respond leads her into a whirl wind of flirty texts, photography critiques, lots of x-rated photos, all culminating in the mother of all orgies that is so hot I'm surprised my e-reader didn't catch fire. It isn't until later, when tattoos start showing up of her body that she realized all is not normal with the guys who gave her the ride of her life and she's not willing to let it go until she finds out what is going on and gets them to remove their marks. Turns out the guys are way freakier that she originally thought, and Lux finds herself teaming up the supernatural hotties to find their missing brothers so they can attempt to remove the marks, all while be hunted from monsters who seem to really have it in for Lux. The world building in this book was a great mix of real world and fantasy. Lux is independent and feisty who doesn't back down when it comes to what she wants, even in the face of supernatural beings who wield unimaginable power. The spice level is off the charts but if you don't enjoy it a bit freaky with mixed couplings, you might want to sit this one out, but I loved it. The story is sexy but still has a strong storyline and characters. Great read.

If you love your books full of raw, dirty, kinky smut then this is definitely the one for you because Crea Reitan holds nothing back in Unsolicited, an erotic paranormal RH romance full of smutty spicy monster loving connections of all types: MF, MM, MMF, MMMF. You make it, it’s got it! But don’t worry! With a unique storyline centered around several cultural beliefs this story also had an intriguing plot and hilarious charismatic characters so it’s not just about hot steamy sex…though there’s plenty of that still ;)
This is a story of a chance encounter thanks to a mistaken dial where our heroine Lux, a talented photographer, find herself ok the receiving end of some very intriguing photos in a group chat.

“If we were the ending, Lux was the beginning.”
In Crea Reitan’s epic tale of the end of times, Unsolicited, we are deeply immersed in a world where the ‘Girl of the Eschat Brothers’ is pivotal in deciding that outcome.
Lux begins this novel as a photographer, who unexpectedly finds some photos sent to her phone. This story quickly takes off into a whirlwind of naughty, and then mystery. As each page turns, the mystery gets deeper.
(If you know what I mean ;)
You will absolutely want to carefully read the author’s notes about the intense components of the group of individuals and the relationships that are formed. Once Lux finds herself in a situation she never expected to be in, but charging ahead to find the answers she believes she deserves, we are entangled in trying to learn right along beside her and her monsters.
This is not, in any way shape or form, a typical RH PNR monster book. It is brilliant and broken and life shattering. It is passionate and poignant and terrifying. You may find it crossing some boundaries, but stretching your thoughts and feelings can create an opportunity for emotional growth.
As previously stated, this is an epic novel Reitan has diligently created for readers who will appreciate growing their minds and hearts.
I thoroughly enjoyed this creative and well written journey, that Lux and her monsters travel, in Unsolicited.
5 BIG stars! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Unsolicited is a steamy novel that grabs you from the beginning. The main character, Lux, gets more than a little surprised when she is out taking photos of sunset when her phone starts going off. Initially, she just thinks "pesky clients" demanding attention. Boy does she get a surprise when she checks her phone and sees the pictures she's received from five unknown numbers. Her whole life changes when she chooses to engage with these men and even meets up with them. When they disappear leaving her with mysterious little "gifts" gracing her skin, well, she decides to go on the hunt for some answers.
This book is packed with steamy from beginning to end. Lux goes from leading a normal life to having it all turned upside down. These aren't normal markings and she is going to demand answers once she finds these guys who literally blew her mind...several times. This novel will have you needing a cold shower or some alone time. LOL! There's a lot of fun, steam, and guy action throughout this book. The author does not skimp on the details and I loved it.
I didn't really like the open endedness of the book since it's classified as a "stand-alone." I like books tied up nice and neat at the end, so maybe we'll see these characters again one day. Who knows.
I'm rating this book 5 out of 5 stars. It kept me coming back for more that's for sure! Wish I was Lux that's for sure. LOL!

S€x and story standalone
This is an interesting standalone based around the concept of mistaken d!After a night with five strangers that ends up with some new marks on her body Lux goes in search of these strangers for answers and definitely stumbles upon more than she bargained for!! 😦
Stumbling into a paranormal world she soon realises there’s wayyy more to these men than she realised!
The brothers of Eschat - currently there’s only five of them, which turns into a quest of sorts to find the two remaining brothers…
Lux cannot deny her connection to these men which makes them wonder what she truly is to them but wow oh wow are these connections hot 🥵 this is essentially straight up monster p%*n with plenty of tails and different appendages to go round - there’s 1-1 to group scenes throughout including PLENTY of MM action 😄
This story line is centred around the end of the world and I love the creativity in the brothers each representing different aspects of this!
The only only thing for me, and the author does address in her end note, was why aspect - but it does come to a HEA and a good end 😃
This is ideal for someone looking for plenty of 🔥🔥🔥 action … their favourite line is f!ght or f^ck!

This was an amazing read, and something completely different to what I've read for a long time.
Make sure you read the authors notes at the beginning, this book has a lot of steam and I mean a lot. I'm usually a plot over steam reader, but this book just weaved the smexy times into the story, without all the s3x, there wouldn't be a story. They guys are all involved with each other, so this leads to some very interesting 0rg1es.
Lux gets sent some unsolicited d1ck pics, but rather than be offended she is pulled into their chat and ultimately ends up spending several hours with them, only to wake up the next day with several tattoos she didn't ask for. Tracking them down proves almost impossible, but her journey to find them leads her down a cross between a Tim Burton world and Alice in Wonderland kind of adventure.
Definitely a page turner for me, the storyline was really interesting and the guys were all different. I loved that they had such a strong relationship between themselves before and during Lux's involvement with them.
The world building really pulls you into all the different areas of the story.
The ending has been left a little open, so there may be another book, but this is not a cliffhanger, more of a HFN.

If you like stories that take weird turns and have a loooot of steamy, sexy time in them (also in group version), then this is definitely a book for you. Otherwise read the author note carefully, or it might be a complete miss. For me this was a crazy ride, maybe a bit over the top but still enjoyable. Lux had no idea how much trouble a misplaced, unexpected series of nude pics from five different men eill bring into her life. Curiosity and the artistic taste of a photographer motivate her to respond to the pics, and the interaction leads her into a one night stand worth remembering. And she does, but maybe for a different reason you can expect.. and then things really go down the rabbit hole. Fast.
Lux is an interesting fmc, determined, confident, takes-no-sh*t type of woman. She is mature, not exactly a young adult where one can still maybe expect such wild things happening, but still can enjoy life to the fullest. And the men are definitely worth the attention, and not only because of their physical qualities described in detail in this book. Although there was not much of a plot in between all the smut, it still wrapped up nicely, with some questions left unanswered - but so is real life too.
