Damianna is a 30 year old woman, who lives alone in a rather large house, where she has been isolated for a very large chunk of her life. She is very different from your average human, and is only able to receive sustenance by feeding off the sins of those around her.
Because of her not being sure as to what exactly she is, she doesn’t leave home often, and when she does, it is normally to “feed”, or have a hookup with someone at the bar she frequents. Her only friends are the monster’s that visit her at her home. &These monsters aren’t delusions, they are actual monster’s that she refers to as her “baddies”. She plays cards, shares hot chocolate, and just enjoys being herself around these friends of hers.
Until one night she stumbles upon a man(Gunnar)in her house, who was bleeding, and in need of some serious tending to.
From the moment that Dami met Gunnar, something about him and the fact that she knew he was also she type of supernatural being, gave her the confidence and strength she needed to try and seek out some answers as to who she is, and why she can only feed off the sins of humans.
&Because I don’t want to spoil anything in this absolutely unique and extremely intriguing read, all I can say is that Albany then continues to spin this awesome story, with the perfect amount of twists and turns, a strong and sexually confident heroine, swoony, laughter filled, steamy goodness, that you won’t be able to put it down until you hit that 100% mark!
So, if this cover & blurb caught your eye, and you are considering giving it a chance, I say, stop considering right this moment, and just DO! You can absolutely thank me later 😉😘♥️
BTW, I wanted to make it known that this story has a HFN (Happy For Now) ending. So, while the ending definitely leaves an opening for the author to possibly continue with the story in the future, you won’t end the story feeling like you are missing something, or feeling like you NEED to know what happens next. So, there is no cliffhanger, but the ending definitely does leave the story and these characters the possibility of furthering their story in the future(Which I REALLY hope this author does, because I would be ALL over that continuation!)
&Like I said earlier, stop considering, and just do.
This will be a book that I will always recommend to any of my paranormal/RH loving friends!
I can’t wait to explore some more of this author’s other published works! ♥️♥️♥️
The characters were likeable enough. The female main character is playfully psycho (think Haley Quinn vibes).
The writing was good. No major typos, etc.
The plot made enough sense... But if you think about it too much, there are things that don't make a ton of sense.
I'll list a few examples of the different ways that I felt the story didn't make sense and give some examples. The examples will all be minor points or things that I wouldn't consider significant spoilers:
-Some of those things the author actually draws attention to (example: narrator wonders why Kim doesn't live on pack lands. But no explanation is given or implied). Maybe these were red herrings just to keep us on our toes?
-Some of the things characters just gloss over as if they are unimportant but I can only imagine them being really important to the characters and that they would insist on an answer (ex. how did Lilith die?).
-Some things were just unrealistic (why would adoptive parents give her so much money? It's way more than she needs and unless they're the Rockefellers, unaffordable).
-Some character choices didn't make any logical sense (this example is a spoiler for something that is revealed pretty early in book 1 but I tried to word it vaguely anyway: if all 3 men stay away from her and run from her whenever she gets close, how could she ever have been drawn to or "pick" one. They actively prevented that from happening. Knowing all along that she must feel the same "missing piece" they all were tortured with... How is that choice in line with any of the 3 men's personalities?)
-and overall, there is a big paranormal world introduced and the FMC was never taught about. I would expect her curiosity would illicit more answers when she finally finds a source of knowledge, but a lot is left in acknowledged in terms of how it all works (culture, politics, rules, biology, etc). (Example: we don't learn anything about the male characters family, origin, etc. Did *they* have their own guardians? And if so why didn't they ask their guardians for help/advice?)
I started out with 4.5 stars but after finishing the book my rating dropped. I hated the relationship with her and ‘kitten.’ I thought he was written closer to a petulant child and she was weirdly bratty to him because he didn’t like to share? I don’t know- it was confusing. I think he was meant to be fierce and broody but I didn’t catch that vibe. I wanted both of them to just act like adults and communicate above a third grade level. I think if he was the first guy to be with her it might of worked. I found their relationship to be obnoxious for the entire book. I also feel like the depths of the men were missed. They are supposed to be the baddest of the bad/ultimate alpha type characters. The way they interacted with the Dami made them less appealing than I think they should have been; hence, they just came off love struck teenagers. Men that old should be more mature… Just saying….Just my opinion. However, I thought Grim was adorable and thought it was a good twist to see him naive but also sweet outside of the robes. By far the best one. Calix was also fine. I think if the action part felt more in depth, or had a deeper storyline, I might’ve liked it more. It just felt like it fell short and was anticlimactic.
However, decent read and outside the box.

Personaggi stupendi che si fanno subito amare.
