Being a death witch means issy can't speak unless she wishes to kill the person。 This story has a dark element to it and a bit of spice。 You don't have to read the other books in the series to read this one but I do suggest it as their all amazing。 You will want to read the trigger warnings before you start as some may be hard to read。 Overall this story was amazing。 Being a death witch means issy can't speak unless she wishes to kill the person。 This story has a dark element to it and a bit of spice。 You don't have to read the other books in the series to read this one but I do suggest it as their all amazing。 You will want to read the trigger warnings before you start as some may be hard to read。 Overall this story was amazing。 。。。more
Amy,
wow!This book was hot! The amount of spice between Izzy and her vampires is crazy。 I enjoyed every minute of this book。 The story was crazy good and definitely worth the read。 I loved the ending and was so happy with how she felt and all she overcame。 Reading this book was an insane journey and so worth it。

Strong, Morally Grey Characters Conquer Dark & Deathly Pasts to Save Their Fated LoveI read this book via the Kindle Unlimited program Taste Me is a solid 3。5 to 4-star book。 When I started to read, I was not sure about it。 J。R。 Thorn is a new author to me, so I did not know what to expect。 However, I found her writing engaging; I was hooked immediately and pulled along through the whole story。 I also appreciate her looking out for readers and providing a detailed “Trigger Warning” page。 Not all Strong, Morally Grey Characters Conquer Dark & Deathly Pasts to Save Their Fated LoveI read this book via the Kindle Unlimited program Taste Me is a solid 3。5 to 4-star book。 When I started to read, I was not sure about it。 J。R。 Thorn is a new author to me, so I did not know what to expect。 However, I found her writing engaging; I was hooked immediately and pulled along through the whole story。 I also appreciate her looking out for readers and providing a detailed “Trigger Warning” page。 Not all books are for all readers, so make sure to check the triggers before you start it。 For myself, this was an entertaining, though sometimes uncomfortable, read; and overall, I enjoyed it。 I will be looking into this author’s backlist。 So why did I remove stars? First, I cannot recommend this book to anyone and everyone。 There are a lot of darker, and potentially triggering themes。 While the author warns of them, that still limits the audience。 Alone, that is not necessarily a reason to remove stars。 However, the characters could have been further developed and their traumas addressed more realistically。 Love and relationship help, but you do not overcome a lifetime of abuses in moments。 I do acknowledge that a standalone format limits the time for realistic character growth, especially when there is enough story for a whole series, but this still bothered me a bit。 Finally, there were some editing and pacing issues that I noticed。 All these things came together to ultimately influence my star-rating。 Here’s my breakdown: 👄Length: Novel 🕶️Genre: Paranormal romance/dystopian fantasy – vampires, witches, necromancers etc。 🖐️POV: First person, multiple characters – male and female main characters 🩸Age: Adult 🧪Warnings: The author describes this as a “dark” story and included trigger warnings at the beginning of the book – additional warnings include language, violence, multiple traumas both mental and physical, and sexual content 👄Spice: This one is pretty spicy。 Due to the types of play and situations on page, I’d say a minimum of 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️。 The on page intimate moments include breath play, bondage, blood play, knife play, edging, and more。 Also, this is a reverse harem – so there is sharing and bedroom togetherness。 🕶️Violence: Some descriptive moments。 These characters have death magic, and there is a disturbing number of lives lost, but not necessarily described。 Additionally, the main characters have traumatic, abusive pasts with remembered moments。 🖐️Editing: I did spot a few minor things (spelling/grammar), but not enough to distract or be irritating。 There was one paragraph, in particular, that confused me, but I’m not sure if I missed something or if there was point-of-view or maybe timeline confusion。 🩸World: Post-supernatural-apocalypse Earth 🧪Series: Immortal Vices and Virtues: Her Monstrous Mates (interconnected, reverse harem, standalones in a shared universe) – there are a lot of character cameos from other books, which are fun easter eggs for readers of this series。 Reading those books is not necessary to enjoy this one, but keep in mind in a shared universe, the more books you read, the more you understand the world。 If you are not interested in reading the whole series, I would recommend reading previous books Crave Me and Claim Me as they best set the stage for Taste Me。 👄Tropes: Fated mates, unique powers, sibling bonds, embracing powers, lost memories, found family 🕶️Ending: This is a standalone, so there are no cliffhangers, but I am hoping we get the stories of some of the supporting characters 🖐️Re-read? Maybe 。。。more
The Sugared,
Another amazing story in this world!I loved getting to read Issy's story!! I was very curious about her when we met her in Fallon's book, so I was very excited to see she was getting her own book as well。 Issy's backstory is hard。 She was victimized, taken advantage of and traumatized。 She was a prisoner- physically, emotionally and mentally。 She's had to do a lot of healing and learn to trust again。 Thankfully, her mates are perfect for her! They are tough and will burn the world for her。 I lov Another amazing story in this world!I loved getting to read Issy's story!!

Three protective vampires who are completely obsessed with the heroine。 A bad@$$ heroine with a secret living a lonely life。 And fated mates。 Oh my! Taste Me is a dark paranormal romance full of action, intrigue, suspense, twists and steam that kept me glued to my seat!

What a ride literally!! Issy is such an amazing character。。 how lonely she must have been to go from having a family (even a rubbish one) and friends to not being able to talk to anyone。。 being confined to a basement。 To be locked out from mind talking to the one person she could depend on and then be betrayed by her parents and forcefully and fakley mated to an evil man that abused her and allowed his fellow patriarch to do the same 。 Issy didn’t let that stop her from becoming the kick ass her What a ride literally!!

Mak,
I loved this last book of the Immortal Vices and Virtues second season。 If you haven’t read them all, I highly recommend you do! (Although it isn’t necessary and they can all be read as stand-alones)。 I really enjoyed Issy and her men’s story。 Issy is strong and has past trauma that she has to overcome, and the triplet MMCs are dark, mysterious, and wonderfully morally gray。 Taste Me had action and spice, honestly I couldn’t get enough!
Michalle,
This book is part of the Immortal Vices and Virtues: Her Monstrous Mates world and a first time read for this author。 I thoroughly enjoyed Issy and her mates story。 The plot was dark and delicious。 I couldn’t get enough of these characters and this death oriented world。 I’ll definitely be reading more from this author in the future。

Larissa Rye,
I loved Issy & her powers。 Everything about these four intrigued me! I just wanted to know more & more about their powers & how everything worked。 The death plane was crazy & the more we learned the more I liked it。 I was kind of confused at the end just because it felt slightly unfinished to me。 Not understanding where they go from here。 Still I loved the story & I really loved Jasper。

JR Thorn weaves a deadly tale involving vampire triplets and an FMC who matches their darkness perfectly。 Issy’s story is dark and intricate。 As a death witch, Issy is forced to live in silence, least she kill with her voice。 Jasper, Zyran, and Kornelius are triplet vampires。 They’re just as dark and deadly as Issy。 Their traumas and pasts have made it easier to bond。 Once Jas, Kor, and Zy realize Issy is their fated, all bets are off。 I enjoyed delving more into Issy’s character and of course s JR Thorn weaves a deadly tale involving vampire triplets and an FMC who matches their darkness perfectly。 Issy’s story is dark and intricate。 As a death witch, Issy is forced to live in silence, least she kill with her voice。 Jasper, Zyran, and Kornelius are triplet vampires。 They’re just as dark and deadly as Issy。 Their traumas and pasts have made it easier to bond。 Once Jas, Kor, and Zy realize Issy is their fated, all bets are off。 I enjoyed delving more into Issy’s character and of course seeing Fallon’s character again brought it all together。 Not to mention the guys are *chef’s kiss。* Overall, the story was great and a fantastic addition to the immortal Vices and Virtues series。 。。。more
Katie,
Such a fantastic story。 I was thrilled when Izzy’s book came out。 I was so excited to read it。 I remember reading about her in her sisters book。 Storyline was absolutely amazing。 This book got me hooked right in the beginning all the way to the end。 I absolutely love the shared universe that all these authors have written about。 So sad that this is the last book in the series。 And I so wish it didn’t have to end。 Definitely recommend over and over again I absolutely loved it。

We actually meet the FMC of this book, in the previous Her Monstrous Mates by Lexi C。 Foss and I've been excited for Issy to meet her mates ever since。 The fact she gets three sinfully hot hybrid triplets is just a bonus。 I literally couldn't put it down once I started and loved every minute of it。Issy is in hiding, she can't use her voice as it kills anyone who hears it but when an assassin stumbles on where she's hiding she gets more than she bargained for when he turns out to be her mate, and We actually meet the FMC of this book, in the previous Her Monstrous Mates by Lexi C。 Foss and I've been excited for Issy to meet her mates ever since。 The fact she gets three sinfully hot hybrid triplets is just a bonus。 I literally couldn't put it down once I started and loved every minute of it。Issy is in hiding, she can't use her voice as it kills anyone who hears it but when an assassin stumbles on where she's hiding she gets more than she bargained for when he turns out to be her mate, and he just so happens to have two brothers。 I loved the fact that there was a mention of Issy reading smutty books and the mention of long TW's in the front of books。 Even though Issy and Fallon alike think they are safe from one of the monsters from Fallon's book that isn't true and Issy's mates are entwined with the guy。 Loved the action, the spice and the overall story。 Was a great read。 。。。more

This book was absolutely perfect! I adored Issy and her men。 They were the perfect blend of sweet and dark。 J。R。 did a fantastic job of telling their love story, while also keeping the story action packed。 I also loved that the men were brothers。 It made the spice that much more interesting。 Great read! Definitely recommend it!
Kassi,
Taste Me is book 6 of a series of standalones that are set in the same world in the Immortal Vices & Virtues。 The blurb piqued my interest & was more intrigued when I found out we briefly met her in a previous book。 Taste Me had great world building and good characters。 All in all, I enjoyed reading this book。

OOOOOOO……rgasmIf you have read J。R。 You already know this book will take over your body just from reading。 If you are not familiar with J。R。 I highly recommend you have your S/O very close if you don’t have one better have your BOB READY。 Issy is a character you just can’t help falling in love with and her mates ohhh you will wish humans were blessed with fates mates。

Taste Me was another incredible read, and I didn’t expect anything else! The Immortal Vices and Virtues world is such an amazing Fantasy Romance book series with interesting characters and well-written stories。 Taste Me is written by J。R。 Thorn, a new-to-me author。 I didn’t know what to expect, but I did have high hopes since I really enjoy the Immortal Vices and Virtues books。 J。R。 Thorn didn’t disappoint me at all, she wrote an amazing and spicy story with dark and interesting characters。
Taste Me tells the story of Ishara, Issy, a character that we have met in another Immortal Vices and Virtues book, Claim Me by Lexi C。 Foss。 Claim Me tells the story of Issy’s sister, Fallon。 Issy is a death witch, and her mates are vampire hybrids。 One interesting detail is that her mates are triplets… Sexy brothers with fangs? Yes, please! I really enjoyed reading about Issy, Jas, Kor and Zy。 Her mates match her darkness and they’re so perfect together!
Taste Me was such a great read in the Immortal Vices and Virtues world! If you enjoy the Fantasy Romance genre then I recommend the Immortal Vices and Virtues world。 If you’re more into one mate, then the first season, Immortal Vices and Virtues, is for you。 If you enjoy reading about multiple mates, then you should definitely check out the second season, Immortal Vices and Virtues: Her Monstrous Mates! I truly enjoyed every book in the series, and it’s a nice way to discover new authors! 。。。more

This is book 5 in the Immortal Vices and Virtues: Her Monstrous Mates series。 Although each of these books can be read as a stand alone, I recommend reading in order。 There are several instances of characters that crossover within the main story and could spoil some of the books。 This book specifically follows Ishara whose sister was featured in Claim Me。 Their stories are interconnected and I suggest reading that book before this one。As with all of the books in this series, be prepared for over This is book 5 in the Immortal Vices and Virtues: Her Monstrous Mates series。 Although each of these books can be read as a stand alone, I recommend reading in order。 There are several instances of characters that crossover within the main story and could spoil some of the books。 This book specifically follows Ishara whose sister was featured in Claim Me。 Their stories are interconnected and I suggest reading that book before this one。As with all of the books in this series, be prepared for over the top, possessive men。 In this case triplets who are vampires and they have similar magic to Issy。 They all figure out their family life and how to navigate their deadly magic together。 I love their family and their relationship was worth the darkness that they had to endure to get to their HEA。 The brothers were so protective of Issy and I loved that for her。 Issy has led such a lonely and dark life and to have that bit of happiness made me ecstatic for her。 They all love fiercely and that is what these books are all about。 A true love that anyone would sacrifice for。 I give this one 5 stars ***As with each book in his series, Please check the content warnings as there are some dark themes in this story that could be upsetting to some 。。。more
