I really enjoyed this novel! The writing was phenomenal, I loved the action, descriptions, and atmosphere. The world and plot were a bit muddled but that's forgivable for the overall story honestly since it was quite enjoyable.
We follow Ren, a troupe performer, who encounters a demon and has to search for a cure. Except during that demon attack, her powers were revealed and now everyone is out to get her. Except one boy, who does the exact opposite and helps her instead.
I loved the slow burn romance in this I really felt these two work together and grow and the eventual kiss only happening due to the moment and lead to and even bigger moment (poor REN turned into Rouge! Can't touch the ones they love)

You can specify which user you'd like to gift a subscription to for 3, 6, or 12 months (or, send this link to loved ones asking what you want for the holidays!). 6 months includes 1 month free and 12 months includes 2 months free. For those considering joining Pagebound Royalty, we're excited to share an option to become a yearly supporter (at a discounted price of $100 for 12 months, so 2 months free)!

This book was so much fun! This body horror was one that really puts the details in to making an amorphous amalgamation into a living being with feelings and consciousness.
We follow Shesheshen as her hibernation is rudely awakens by a hunter. Unfortunately, the entire family of hunters soon follow and thus begins Shesheshens life of hiding in plain sight.
The body horror and descriptions really made this book spectacular!
The plot had so many twists and turns it was crazy and I honestly enjoyed it until it felt like too much. Then the end just kept. Going. It needed to just be put out of its misery but then we are given an extended epilogue (ha) of sorts but I just wanted this freaking book to end and could not bring myself to care.

So that was a um omegaverse book.
This plot was all over the place. Why is the pack that abused her and left her to die and literally abandoned her, stalking her. And why would she run from alphas offering her protection thus making her escape from 2x the amount of people?
The library setting was only for their one night stand orgy. So don't let that be a big setting or main contention for u to read this book. There's also book murder?? Idk why they rip up a bunch of books to make a nest like they're birds or something LOL
Ok what's with the lowkey assault while she's literally asleep alone in her home and the not letting go of her when she says to go? She was abused before too so how is this group any better? They also drop the can I bite u question on her when they hadn't even kissed yet. Of course she would run! Then they wait months after that to ask again?? Lmao make it make sense
Obviously she gets pregnant, that's like one of the main advertisements for the book but TW it's quadruplets??? Disgusting. And yes they were banging it out all the way to the end. Those babies were fully marinated and came out with a layer of cum on them I bet. And a healthy dose of shaken baby syndrome from the way they were swinging that woman around.
Speaking of which, the math ain't mathing! How is she 8 and a half months then it's ONE MONTH LATER? Nine and a half months WITH QUADRUPLETS!? Literally take me out back and shoot me. If I was this woman I would've suppuku'd them out myself.
