From Jasmine Mas, 2023: Psycho Gods, book 6 of Cruel Shifterverse. The pull here is academy, monster, war, morally grey, romantasy and why choose. We score it spice 4 (explicit) and darkness 5 (pitch black). The heaviest flags readers report are violence, war, blood. Our scores lean on what readers report, not on a full reread, so treat them as a guide. This note is ours. It is not a publisher blurb.
