Non-Consensual, Orgy, Rape
The Naga’s Pet is book two in the Naga’s of Protheka series by Celeste King.
This book started out good. I enjoyed our hero’s family and found myself getting emotionally invested; because of how accepting and nurturing the family are. Our hero was thoughtful and caring despite the horrible life our heroine has lived.
Then around the 70% the plot takes a very alarming turn. That in and of its self isn’t bad, but this situation was momentous and the author just completely swept it under the rug once our main couple got back together. This plot twist wasn’t addressed and left hanging. The other thing that bothered me was after our hero fights for our heroine, his injuries aren’t dealt with; even though they are severe our couple jumps into bed, but how can they if he was bleeding so badly. Last, there were some issues with the writing.
Spoiler Below About Plot Twist
View Spoiler »The plot twist killed my interest in the Naga’s of Protheka series. The Naga’s Pet started out good, but ended up not being the book for me. If the blurb intrigues you, I urge you to give it a shot. Just because it did not work for me does not mean it won’t for you.
Rated: 2.5 Stars

About Celeste King
Celeste King is the author behind the Worlds of Protheka, a collection of interconnected series that promise dark fantasy, intense romance, and washboard abs. When it comes to her stories, there are sure to brooding alphas, sassy humans, and plenty of spice to look forward to.
With the ever growing fantasy worlds, the ‘what ifs’ are endless, and that is what excites her the most. Even she doesn’t know just how far these characters will go, but she’s gladly along for the ride.
You can always find her fearlessly diving into an adventure (in this world or another), typically with her husband, and partner in crime, at her side.
She helps keep the excitement alive for the rest us with each of her Prothekan works, where there are no heroes coming to save you and being kidnapped…isn’t so bad when your captor is this hot.
The story sounds intriguing but I’m like you and things are supposed to fit the story, otherwise it throws every thing off, so I’m not sure if I will read this one or not. Thanks for sharing your review and have a magical holiday season!
This plot twist came out of left field. I was shocked and not expecting it. I understand if you want to skip this one. I enjoyed the first book, but the second killed the series for me, so I’ll be looking for other Naga’s to read. Thanks for stopping bye.
This twist came out of left field and was not set up, just bam. I can take some harsh situations, but like you said it has to fit the story and have maybe a little set up. Thanks for visiting!
I can take harsh situations, but it has to fit the existing story the author established and not just suddenly show up like that. Too bad the twist ruined it for you.
Thanks for visiting!
I’m a bit intrigued and love the cover. It’s nice to see an actual face instead of a headless torso on the cover.
