Killian and Luxs story, hot hot hot, not for the young. Shifter romance with some BDSM. Loved it!

A big thank you to NetGalley and Evernight Publishing for the eARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. Well I thought I would try something different-but nope this was not for me. I wanted to like it. I thought the characters were different. Not for me 3 stars

Overall not a bad story. Good heated scenes and a plot that really stands out. Good characters and a bit of suspense.

I really wanted to love this book but some parts made it very hard. The way Killian and Lux’s relationship developed was kind of strange. I also didn’t really like Lux that much. Also, the end up this book was confusing for me and I genuinely did not understand a single thing that happened. I liked Killian more than Lux but I still wasn’t a huge fan. The plot wasn’t very good and I’m still confused at what the conflict even was and how it was resolved.

This book was tough to get through to be honest. I found myself almost DNFing it. The story was painfully slow. It had so much filler in it. The spice level was a 1 out of 5 . The plot was 3 out of 5.

It took me a bit to realize this is the second book in a series. It could easily be a stand alone I feel like though! It was such a spicy book to the end. There are definitely things In this book that could make you blush! Lol

Complimentary copy provided by NetGalley and Evernight Publishing. This book is different than my usual reads. I stepped out of my comfort zone to review this shifter romance. The Australian setting seemed to fit perfectly with the book. Raven Hush created great character and scene build-up of the BDSM shifter experience.

The shifters all being Australian animals was something new for me. Living in a different country my previous shifter experiences were with shifters from my area. The MMC and FMC developing their relationship was well written and showed the respect they had for eachother in their roles.

Rating: 3/5 Stars

Thank you to NetGalley and Raven Hush for an eARC in exchange for an honest review!

This was a really different concept of a book I haven’t read before. I enjoyed it and felt the world building was done really nice. I didn’t read the books before which is probably why I was a tad confused and disconnected through it.

I enjoyed the story even though the shifters are unlike any that I have ever read about. I really liked Lux and how the author gave her a strong sense of survival and will to live. Danger from the past is catching up with her and Killian comes to her rescue more than once. The attraction has always been there but only now do they act upon it. It is a good read, lots of action and intrigue.

Lux works at Club Fray as a bartender and only plays on her terms. Killian is a manger at the Club and his Dom side is lusting for Lux. Will Killian be able to break down her walls and gain her trust? Will her past track her down and can Killian keep her safe? Fast-paced shifter read with loads of drama, suspense, emotion and sizzling chemistry. I liked it.

Killian is a Dom and manager at club Fray, a BDSM club. He's also a kangaroo shifter. Lux is an emu shifter and a bartender at club Fray. Now let's just talk about these two for a second. An emu shifter and a kangaroo shifter, that's something I haven't read before and I loved that these were unique shifters that you don't hear a lot about. That was a lot of fun.

Killian is a sadist and likes to inflict pain but only on willing subs. While Lux is a masochist who likes pain and is a submissive. They've never played together or done a scene together though. Lux usually plays with someone else that she trusts but she belongs to no one and likes it that way. Killian is very much interested in Lux but keeps his distance because he has a rule for himself that he doesn't play with those he works with but it's getting harder and harder to keep this rule for himself since he really likes Lux and wants to be with her.

Lux had some secrets though and she keeps to herself for the most part and does her job. She doesn't want to get close to Killian because she doesn't trust others too easily because of something that happened in her past. When the trust comes out and we find out that some of the other shifters are racist against mixed breed shifters, it was sad. But I think it sent a really good message about accepting others for who they are and being nice to people because you never know what someone has gone through.

Thankfully Lux has the people she works with to help her and be there for her. Once Killian breaks through the wall she's put up and they get closer and he finds out all she's been through, I was actually shocked. The violence that she went though isn't something I was expecting but the connection between these two was strong and Killian ended up being such a great guy. I loved him and how great he was with her. This story gave me a few surprises and I really liked that. The romance was sweet even though their brand of BDSM was a bit too much for me, it worked for them and the story.

Purge by Raven Hush is book 2 in the Club Fray Series which I didn't realize. It seems to me that it can be read as a standalone, but you might be confused. The overall it's an intriguing bit of spicy. I really enjoyed the book overall and the world building and storyline was great.

Purge by Raven Hush is book 2 in the Club Fray Series.
Y'all it was short, sweet and steamy!
And you can bet I jumped onto my Kindle store and bought Darkest Desires book 1 because Purge was simply irresistible.
Raven Hush, keep doing what you're doing because I love it!
