I definitely would have loved this more if it were longer - I didn't get a good sense of John or Bellamy and the insta-love trope didn't help that at all. I love queer urban fantasy but the character work just wasn't there for me to dig my claws into.
I had to close the kindle app in severe second-hand embarrassment when I got to Max accidentally texting the other MLs AGAIN. When you do that once (as he started out the book), it's more likely that you are fanatical about never making that mistake again. I can't do it.

DNF: I can't stand Dominic, so this was never gonna work for me even with my favorite trope in there.
JK, I picked it back up and finished it. Dominic grew on me, but I had to skim some parts - the little fighter nickname had me twitchy in a bad way and the casualorgan donation in the epilogue made me laugh in its absurdity. However, that man sure does like to eat pussy so good for you, Clara.

Too short for any development and the overuse of "velvet steel" was comical for a story that wanted to be a gothic-lite monster romance.
