That was 70% smut and 30% plot, but I loved every page of it. I am not sure yet how relevant this novella will be in the arch-plot, and I admit that the big revelation about Caleb's past seemed a little out of the blue, but I was just happy to see more of Sunday and her little family. Their banter and sass never fail to make me smile.

I don't know if there will be another book or not, but I am just not invested in the plot anymore. Alice only keeps on getting more powerful with each book, yet nothing progresses when it comes to Moses and his cabal.
The last book was released over 3 years ago, so I really don't know what the author has planned for this series, but I am tired of waiting for Alice to deal with Moses and tired of Alice having a martyr complex and being a prickly porcupine. This series had potential, but I feel that in the last few books, the plot got lost in all the subplots and sidequests, and I don't really care about it anymore. I will invest my time elsewhere.

I mentioned in a review I wrote not too long ago that it annoys me when couples (especially older and more mature ones) can't seem to be able to deal with their lust and just have sex whenever and wherever, even when it is not the time or the place. Sadly, it's exactly what happens here, in my opinion.
When Sean and Alice's truck breaks down in the middle of nowhere, they hike until they find a cabin in the middle of the woods. The owner left a note saying he would be back by night, so of course, they decide to take advantage of his absence and have sex in his cabin. It just didn't sit well with me... I wouldn't have been comfortable enough in a 100 years, I would have been way too scared to be caught, and no amount of teasing kisses would have make me change my mind.

Instead of focusing on the awfulness of the court and how much Damen hated it, it showed us how people from the bottom of the food chain can rise as high as they can as aristocrats' pets.
I liked it more than I thought I would, and I would have liked it to be longer even.

This short story was cute, but it honestly doesn’t add anything to the plotline or the character development. It’s just a sweet moment between Poppy and Cas.

I am sad that the next book will be the last already, I would have been down to read many more adventures with these three guys and their crazy hotel...
“And we’re just two normal people having a look around.” Zee fluttered his lashes. “Babycakes, the normal ship has left the harbor and sailed off the fucking map into shark-infested waters.
These three collect problems like it’s an Olympic discipline and they are competing for the gold medal. They collect enemies like Adam hoards cat figurines, and every time I think things can’t get worse, I am inevitably proven wrong.
Gideon Cain is finally back into the plot, and I hate him more than ever, but I am still happy that he is making his move because he was mentioned a few times since the beginning of the series, but I was curious to see what his move would be when he finally decided to strike against Adam. I also like the fact that all the little subplots that I thought had been forgotten, like Claymore’s disappearance or Sebastian’s involvement with Cain end up being relevant in this book, and of course, they add even more trouble and problems for our little throuple.
“I know what you’re implying, Fancy Pants. Decapitating your sucker queen was an accident. Adam gets it.” “A miscommunication,” I agreed. Victor sighed. “As I was saying, delaying the meeting with Leomaris will not solve anything. We should meet post-haste.” “Who’s that?” Zee asked. “What?” “Post Haste, who are they? You’re not making any sense. Are you low on red blood cells? Do you need a top up?” Zee waved at me. “Adam will volunteer and I’ll watch, for science.”
The humor in this book is amazingly delightful. I love how I laughed out loud or grinned so many times, but it was not because the characters made a joke or were silly on purpose. There were gems in the conversations between Zee, Adam, and Victor, but most of the time, they were having a serious conversation, it’s just that they are all so weird and different, that it created some crazy funny dialogues. The author also managed to integrate a good mix of banter and dry sarcasm into the trio’s interactions, and I absolutely adored every moment they had together.
“We need you there,” he whined. “I need you there. When it’s just me and him, it’s weird. You’re the lube that smooths things over, the custard middle of a delicious donut, the cheese in the mac and cheese. It doesn’t work without you. It’s just curly pasta without you. Do you hear me? Just weird, erotic, hot as fuck, messed-up pasta.”
I haven’t read many books with a MMM dynamic, but this trio is my favorite one, without a doubt. Zee and his flamboyant personality, Adam trying, and horribly failing, to appear human, and Victor having feelings but not knowing how to deal with them make for an eclectic, but impossible not-to-love trio.
Reyzee is taking over! Zee and Victor are still uneasy with each other when Adam is not there to act as a buffer, but it is clear that they care for each other, and are attracted to each other too, they just have no idea how to process and deal with those feelings, and it was cute and hilarious at the same time to watch them try to come to terms with their emotions.
“You remember how Agatha wanted to harvest all your best bits for FaeMade ® face creams?” Zee paled. “Do not fucking remind me. I’m working through it with my therapist.” “You have a therapist?” “Tom Collins at three a.m.” Victor was nodding also. “Tom at two a.m.” My slot was four a.m.
Tom is still one of the MVPs of this series. He is dry, sassy, and hilarious, and the fact that this intense and slightly unhinged AI became the unofficial hotel’s therapist made me laugh so hard! I wish we will finally have confirmation of what he is in the final book, and that he will get to live happily ever after behind his bar, with his bottles of alcohol and his happy dust to sprinkle everywhere (iykyk).
“We don’t really do normal here.” After handing the sheet back, I ruffled my hair and shoved my hands into my pockets. “Fine, it’s all fine.” We had bodies up chimneys and in flower beds, gremlins on staff, and an unregistered shadowbeast in the attic. Zee had allured a racist detective, and my true identity was close to being cracked wide open. But it was absolutely fine.
It’s crazy when you think about it, each book spans about 1 week, so the hotel has only been open and operational for 6 weeks, and I lost count of how many life-threatening situations Adam, Zee, and Victor ended up in. These little gems are full of action, delicious humor and banter, and smut that gets spicier with each book.

I’d begun the day learning that my vampire lover had left, while also discovering a goo portal in my room, and I didn’t have enough money to stop the gremlins from eating the hotel. And somehow, the day had gotten worse since then.
Yup. That about sums it up. I don’t even need to write a summary of the book with a quote like that. Reynard is having trouble with his company, Adam is overthinking, Zee is being amazing, and the trio has to deal with an infestation of vicious gremlins and survive murder attempts.
“Right, so . . . yes. This thing. About me. Erm. So. There’s this thing, about me,” I repeated. “You may have noticed, I’m not exactly a normal human.” “What?” Zee mock-gasped, both hands going to his mouth, pink nails glittering. “Adam Vex isn’t human? Say it ain’t so! Is my middle name gullible?” “Would you like me to answer that?” Tom asked, interrupting to make it clear he was listening in too.
We finally find out what and who Adam is! I did not see that one coming, although maybe I should have… I am curious about the prophecy he keeps mentioning, and how it will affect him and his relationship with Reynard and Zee. I am glad to finally know what he is, I loved the suspense, but it was also slowly killing me, and I wouldn’t have been able to wait for another book to find out.
Adam is full of contradictions, and I love it! He is kind, sweet, adorable, and appears inoffensive most of the time, but he will not hesitate to destroy anyone who threatens him, his hotel, or his friends. He cannot bring himself to hurt pesky gremlins, but he enjoys killing vampires every once in a while. It makes him a complex and intriguing main character who’s impossible not to like.
“He got something stuck in his throat? Getting a name from a pixie is about as likely as getting Sebastien to admit he’s a fuckface. Imma get a drink. Fancy Fangs, you want another Bitch?” “No thank you, I already have one.” Zee gasped. “Oh my fucking what?! Did you just . . . You did not just call me a bitch?!” Victor smirked, as though he was a mere seventy percent innocent.
There is still sexual tension between Reynard, Zee, and Adam, and we finally get some real MMM smut. It’s nothing over the top, just spicy and hot enough to make us want more of it, without stealing the spotlight from the hilarious characters and crazy plot full of action.
The red mood lighting highlighted Victor’s sharp fangs. “Ohh, nice.” Zee grinned. “Just like the red room at Razorsedge.” “With fewer dildos,” Victor said. Zee gasped. “Did you just make a dick joke? What is happening?
Victor is loosening up in this fifth book, and it is amazing to witness him slowly come out of his shell, and even more slowly being willing to admit that he might have feelings for Zee. I love Adam, but Zee and Reynard stole the show in this book. Daddy Spice and Sexy Spice are the best spicy combo there is.
“Like the Spice Girls,” Zee said. I had no idea who they were. Perhaps they set fire to things too? “How so?” Victor asked. “You’re Daddy Spice, obviously.” Victor’s left eyebrow arched. “I’m Sexy Spice, and Adam is . . .” We waited a while, until Zee shrugged and settled on, “Boring Spice.”
Zee’s unrelenting humor and the sass between him and Reynard is delightful. Zee reminds me a little bit of Leeland from The Hitman’s Guide at times, he is sassy, thinks very highly of himself, and seems not to take anything seriously, except when it’s time to fuck shit up. His banter with Reynard made me smile so many times while reading this book, and seeing his being speechless every time Reynard would reply to his sass was even funnier.
“That’s a whole lot of fuck-no.” Zee recoiled. “All aboard the nope train, we’re leaving this fucking station. Everyone who isn’t a sucker get behind me.”
I can't wait to see what awaits our trio next. Trouble is coming their way (who am I kidding, trouble has been there for 5 books already), and it feels that things at the hotel are getting crazier with each book. I particularly loved the gremlin cleaning crew in this one. I feel that there is a lot of unfinished business, namely with Cain and the vampire court, and I am curious to see how things will play out in the rest of the series. The more problems they solve, the more problems they get, and I am here for this wild ride.
