The 'Zon is going to make this review challenging to write due to certain restrictions, so apologies for some of the creative descriptions 🤣 TROPES, K!NK5, AND THINGS: - FMM triad/throuple - Bi boys are S-Tier, I said what I said - Fated mates and soul bonds - Grumpy and his 2 Sunshines - Forced proximity-ish - St@lk!ng as a love language - Plant daddy finds his plant mommy 🌿 - “Who did this to you?” - “Touch him/her and d!e” - Big D (aka: Daddy) Energy from Ace 🥵 - Found Family vibes - Dirty talk for daaaaays🫠 - Praise k!nk, *and* its opposite, but lighter - 🩸 play - Light 💦 k!nk play - DP (2 🍆 at once) - 🍑 play - Swords crossing ⚔️ - D/s dynamics - Primal play (in the epilogue) - Voyeurism & Exhibitionism - Seriously, this trio are a bunch of h0rny, filthy heathens and I love it VICIOUS CRAVINGS follows a witch desperately trying to atone for old and recent wrongs alike while running from the past that forced her to commit those wrongs in the first place. Nelloix (the witch in question) was just as wonderful as I remembered her being (we haven't really seen her properly since In Darkness Waits Desire). She is still without the bulk of her power and she's still very much bruised and traumatized on more levels than one, but Greens is fierce and stubborn and has the biggest heart. Watching her lose said-heart to two hulking vampires is oh so satisfying. This FMM trio just oozed tension and delicious chemistry from the start, with Hunter's blatant flirtatiousness and effortless mischief, to Ace's brooding dominance and intensity. I loved that Elliott Rose took the time to establish connections between not just the throuple as a whole, but each member individually, one with the other. This triad really does just fall into place, even with the hiccups and conflicts along the way. That level of helpless magnetic attraction coupled with a sense of effortless kindred connection is the stuff that dreams are made of, and I left this book both incredibly satisfied/content with our trio's well-deserved HEA, but also achingly envious. Hunter and Ace are the perfect touch of feral and dangerous on top of everything else, so I could very easily sympathize with poor Nell being perpetually in a state of heightened 🥵💦. As far as plots go, the one in VICIOUS CRAVING is straightforward and very easy to follow. The developing relationship between our throuple is the primary focal point of the story here, and I am 1000% on board with that; but we've also got that over-arching plot/world-building going on in the background, and I truly do love how all of these stories and characters are being tied together. It was kind of nice to finally get some closure with those remaining loose plot threads from SWEET INFERNO. Loving this world and these characters more and more with each new book! If you're in the market for some fun, easy to follow, and super steamy paranormal romance, then you absolutely need this series in your life.
