Jesus Christ this book was bad.
I regret forcing myself to continue reading this, after around page 170 or so, or when one of the guys shaved her vagina. Yes you heard me. SHAVED HER VAG. AND WORST OF ALL HE LIKED IT, AND SO DID SHE. (but in her behalf, this bitch wouldn’t have a damn clue how to do it anyway)

She barely knows anything, doesn’t know what a toothbrush is, human anatomy, WHAT THE WORD JEALOUS MEANS! She’s been sheltered her whole life I get that but the only person to blame for her not knowing is her mum- bitch tell your child these things tf.

She meets her former mate, axel who is just well.. one step away from being a pedo. He literally says that she looks like a child yet proceeds to want to have sex with her- PARDON?!
Then after they have their 5 seconds of intercourse she runs away and talks to a vampire which is apparently so bad that he severs the mate bond with her and banishes her. (Thank god we don’t have to deal with that man again)

But noooo.. we meet three guys who save her and blah blah blah.. it feels wrong putting this in as a romance book tbh.

One of the guys says something along the lines of “I like your knew hair, it makes you look less like a child” PAUSE, HOLD UP, REWIND.
this man, not even 5 minutes ago was f1ngering her and doing sexual stuff with her when she had purple hair and her natural hair- so what? You wanna do sexual stuff with her when she looks like a CHILD? WHATTT.

This book was just a cesspool of pedophiles and classed as a romance book. Like just because she’s 18 doesn’t mean you can over look consent. The girl barely knew what a toothbrush is let alone knows what sex fully entails!!

I think this is the longest review I’ve ever made on a book but I needed to right down how bad this one was.

  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

This was an enticing read for me! I really enjoyed the start of this series. This one does end on a bit of a cliffhanger and with a lot of questions so I am very excited about the next book. I can’t wait to see what is coming next. This was very well written. She did a very good job with both Axle and the triplets and makes it a hard choice for the reader to know who Luna should really be with. Axle definitely has some a****** moves that makes you not like him then he does redeem himself a little, at least make you understand a little bit more the choices. I thought that Alexa B. James did a great job with that aspect of this story of the rejected fated mates. That’s what gives Axle something to grasp for me as the reader because he is the true mate but he messed up big time and I did enjoy the triplets and how they interact and build a relationship with Luna. They accept her as she is and help teach her things as they pop up. This story was more slow burn but I am excited to see where things go and how things will turn out with the rest of the series.

argh. This one was hard to review.

- First of all. I can't stand Daddy being used. Some people find it sexy but me, nah, Daddy is dad.
- Second, her innocence was so much that it sometimes read as mentally unwell. Almost like people taking advantage of a child.

Im not normally a huge fan of age gap, but I glossed over it pretty quick. Wasn't a true RH yet, more just a bed hop of sorts.

But saying all this. I liked the story idea and will be reading the next when it comes out. I'm curious to see how the RH side of it develops.
