I absolutely love this series. It's so well written and Naomi KNOWS how to make a man grovel. "Believe me, beloved, I am no man without you," had me kicking my feet and desperately wanting a partner like this for myself. I really enjoyed that this was a different type of story than the one with Mercy and Wolfgang, but still added to the world from the first book. It's dark and delicious and had me texting my friends about the yearning coming from Gemini's mouth.

I will say that I had a small problem with the non-consensual pregnancy bit, but that was 100% a me issue and not a story issue (I went in knowing about it and still chose to continue). So please beware of the trigger warnings.

It's dark and I enjoyed it mostly. I wish the narrator would have committed to the Australian accent or scrapped it altogether.
