Leather and Lace by Magen Cubed
4.0
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Thank you to Booksirens for providing an ARC copy. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

I loved Cubed's world building and the entire novel in general. I love everything vampires and paranormal and when you add an LGBTQIAP+ aspect, it makes it that much more inspired. 

I knew going into it that i would love it, I just didn’t know how much. 

I felt at times that it was a bit confusing, with the dual POVs in a single chapter and the flashback scenes. 

I really liked hearing both perspectives, one that’s “considered” a monster and one hunter. Just that dynamic alone and turn it into romance was killer. 

To be honest, I wasn’t really into the sex scenes (asexual cat here :) ) but I loved that Leather and Lace didn’t focus on the romance, that it incorporated it into a hunter and supernatural story. 

Highly recommend to any vampire lover, LGBTQIAP+, or any person who’s down for a scary fantasy time.
