Hrm.

Okay, the premise of this series is actually really good. Creative and interesting conceptually. However, the execution of the actual story fell way short.

The first book is massively... uncoordinated. I suspect a crappy editor. The author simply neglects to explain things that are vital for understanding the universe. I get there's an element of the MC is kinda lost so the audience gets to be lost, too. But this is way more than that. I almost put the entire thing down and walked away until I read several reviews complaining about this issue that said it gets better in the second book. I think the issue is more it takes the entire first book to catch up enough for anything to make real sense. After completing the entire series, there are still fundamental gaps that were never addressed.

The author never really does connect the characters in a deep way. She states their love and such, but doesn't show us any of the work of how they got there. She tells us the external story without enough real inner monolog to help the audience understand the characters.

I think the fundamental issue that this needed to be significantly longer. More time taken to add depth to the premise. It's like watching the movie version of a book. There's just enough to give you a basic story but all the nuance has been left out.

Skip this one.

Could not finish. The Narrator did a great job but the story is honestly just bad. No flow or story progression, the characters are just thrown at you and not explained at all so you don't know why your even hearing about them. Also the love interest with Sarah just needs to end quickly, it makes no sense and holds the whole books progression up. Not a fan.

Insane Adventures

This collection only got better as I listened. At first I wasn’t sure how much I was going to like it and at times I got really upset for the characters and what they went through. The character development was amazing from where the MCs were in the beginning versus the end. The depth and range of emotions that eventually came out surprised me by the end.

The first book made me so upset with how Sarah treated Sonya and made her feel so bad for being what she is. Book 2 really picked up and book 3 came out of nowhere with how awesome it is. The journey that the MCs go on, separate and together, tie together so well

The narrator has the perfect husky voice for narrating a book where the main character is a succubus.

confused and bored 😴

DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY
The story confused the heck out of me. There was real plot to follow, no steam and just lost me within 2 hours of listening. I love reverse harem stories but this one really flopped.

Dear God, what is happening here? I’ve got 8 more hours to listen to, aaand it’s going to stay that way. This is all over the place. Bummed doesn’t even cover it.

Excellent start to a new paranormal RH series

This was an excellent new series starter. Lots of action, intrigue and drama. Plenty of steam with the set up for even more intense sexual themes. After all the main character is a succubus. Can’t wait to read the rest of the series.

Mediocre Writing; Possibly Homophobic AF

I found this author on TikTok and was intrigued. Overall I was confused and conflicted and now that I am in book 3 I simply don't understand why?

Spoilers

Luke a destiny made half Angel chooses to let himself be tortured because of guilt over getting his seer mother arrested for preparing him to withstand the torture in his future because visions... Luke has visions of his soul mate and honestly believes this is the only way he will meet her... I assume the Detective/Chameleon will pop back up but as I am pretty sure he is just a minor villain used to connect really flimsy plots together; I personally feel like this whole book needs rewritten. Not to mention the chapters are rather short and swapping between horny succubus to raw torture repeatedly gave me mental whiplash and was not enjoyable. The character growth feels disingenuous due to the fate/destiny justification that always accompanies it.

I know nothing about succubus lore but forcing this heterosexual feeding trope felt very weird. It feels anti pride and unless the author is homophobic comes across as ridiculous. It doesn't make for a good Plot to separate the queer relationship and begin the "Fated" adventure. Then forcing the succubus to attempt suicide before essentially allowing a close human friend to SA her which guarantees his death is completely unnecessary. Especially given how he dies... The inability of the succubus to control her feeding was frustrating every time it came up. Just another bad plot in my opinion. Wait a fucking second... The muse was one of the 7 sins but all 4 of the choosen ones are men... Upon reflection while writing this review, this whole book comes across as sloppily justified homophobia.

This story could have been great. If you remove the insane Jealousy that festers suicidal ideation and embrace Polyamory from the beginning instead of sloppily justifying a 5+ way relationship with fate and destiny in almost every chapter then find a different way to introduce the Angel instead of brutal torture. Most importantly swap the son of the incubus with the muse to show queer representation in the choosen 4.

seven sins

okay this was so good, I loved every bit of it. this is one book I will be listening to again. I have to say I do love me a dragon shifter, I kinda want more . damn I kinda want her life lol.

Didn't like it.

Too convoluted with plot holes all over the books plus I feel the overall story would have made more sense if the main heroine had seven mates for seven sins instead of four.

Not too bad but....

I only got about 6 and a half hours into the book. It never really grabbed me but its possibly because I'm still decently new to audible. I usually love fantasy romance and reverse harem but this too me fell flat. there wasn't enough relationship development between the FMC and her soulmates for me and I wished that there was interaction between the soulmates themselves. I never really connected to any of the characters and the amount of disconnect between the female main character and her 4 was very conspicuous. Overall it was extremely frustrating.
