Thank you for the ARC.
Do you ever get that feeling, like a book was written _for you_? By page 5 I felt like this book was written specifically or me.
I've been in a little bit of a reading slump. To be honest, I've been skipping spice scenes in the last 2 books I've read. Not here!
This was fantastic. Darwin, Stacci and Father Davi were a mind-blowing trio. They worked so well together and their chemistry was delicious. They just fit together.
I do find the characterization of Stacci a little unfocused and I could have used more of the gala setting, because that's the theme of this whole series, but over-all the plot was intriguing, the kills were great and the spice was perfection. First 5 star read of 2025.
I want more of this trio.

Deanna sure does hate every single woman she comes across, doesn't she?

King of Flesh and Bone by Liv Zander
Did not finish book. Stopped at 22%.

While the book is actually well written, with good imagery, I felt nothing for the characters. Enoch needed more than chiseled cheekbones to be appealing.
There was absolutely no build up to their attraction. Enoch just sort of says what he's going to do to her body the first instant they meet. He comes across as an incel.
I gave up when he broke her legs and said "Look what you made me do".

Not dark enough for my tastes. And I don't even like dark romance!
I might continue with the series. Might not. We shall see.
