Kiss of Seduction (Court of Chains, #1)
Rawnie Sabor
A succubus's kiss is deadly... to everyone but her. Evie is trapped. Held captive by the vampiric Court of Night, she has experienced nothing but pain and terror for over a year. Treasured for her rare and delectable blood, Evie knows she will never see the outside of the dark estate that is her prison. She is fated to be forever ruined by cruel monsters. Her freedom is a concept lost. Natalya is the second-in-command of the Chicago-based Court of Chains. She is among the rarest monsters—a greater fiend, a succubus. A being of pure Sin, whose touch is agony and whose kiss is a death sentence. Following a less-than-diplomatic visit to the Court of Night, Natalya finds herself responsible for a human who was so hurt during her captivity that she is believed to be broken. But there's something different about this strange woman. She suffers no pain under Natalya's touch, and she can survive the infernal kiss of a succubus. But Sin does not invite peace. The vampire King of the Court of Night is a patient man who doesn't like when people take what he believes to be his property. Or which could be his property. And only few things are rarer or more precious than the bound powers of a greater fiend. Kiss of Seduction is an emotionally charged, sapphic love story of healing through trauma, reclaiming yourself after tragedy, and trusting another to catch you when you fall.

0 0I cannot stress how much I absolutely adored the heck out of this book. I'll admit I picked it up for one reason only (lesbians) but I stayed for a million more.
I truly fell in love with the universe and the unique concept of the Court of Chains. Kiss of Seduction is way more than meets the eye and it certainly kept me engaged from the beginning to the end. I'll admit that certain parts are quite heavy so definitely read the trigger warnings before diving in! Despite these moments being tough to sit through, I do believe they are important to write about. Not many authors do so in a way that is appropriate but here it was bearable (still very uncomfortable though so yes, be careful!)
I really enjoyed the way the characters are portrayed in this book. I feel as though you can get a good feel of how everyone's dynamics are and what each of their personalities are like quite early on and I really liked that. I found myself chuckling quite a lot during certain interactions with certain characters which I definitely wasn't expecting in a book with the warnings it has but was welcomed nonetheless!
I was utterly dreading finishing this because I didn't want it to end! I would genuinely read another five books based on Natalya and Evie not matter the lengths. My heart ached so many times during reading and again, I just wish there was more of them!! Though this book is longer than what I would usually read, I still feel like it was way too short!
5 stars all day everyday.
