A different a read by Alexandria House and I wasn't mad at it at all. I liked it a lot! I loved the audiobook production. There are duo voices but those voices don't just stick to their own chapters. They interact/interject in "real time".

Its something about these immortal, speak through the mind books that make me so happy. What I got from this short 71 page book is that soul ties are very real. Now although il that isn't what was specifically mentioned in the book, it has all the signs. The main characters have known each other for over 20 years and when they had sex for the first time on prom night it bound them together forever. This was such a fun, quirky, quick, and well written novelette. One last lesson that I took from this story is that once you have found your soulmate there is no one else that can replace them, and even if other relationships are had, none of them can be successful or remain.

This was different but in a good way!
I definitely admire the creativity that House put into writing this one. It wasn't like any paranormal romance that I've read before and j enjoyed learning about the world and the characters. I also enjoyed the fact that this was faded mates. That's definitely a trope that I haven't encountered before and it was well done. I really feel like my main criticism is that it just didn't click completely for me. I loved that it was a rekindling of the characters romance but I just didn't feel completely engaged. It was missing an emotional connection for me as a reader. Its not anything necessarily wrong on the authors end but I struggled a lot trying to feel and enjoy the romance between the two characters. I know that this was meant to be short but I also feel like some length would have made for an even better story. There could have been more world building which I already loved and more time for me to become invested in the characters. Overall, this was good and I'm looking forward to seeing how House explores paranormal romance in the future.

What can I even say other than I love this story and I love Alexandria House…
The first time I read this book was November 2023 (which doesn’t even sound right cause it felt like ages since) and I listened to the audiobook. The audiobook was SUPERB and I desperately had to have it in all its formats.
The story is just as mystical and mythical as when I first read it. I’d love to read more work like this from House because the way she portrays magic\immortality in this book feels so different from what I’m used to. It doesn’t even feel right calling this magic. It’s all so deep-rooted in culture, history, love, and spirituality—so natural and effortless that I started thinking about whether this could be real (and I lowkey do).
I don’t even want this to be longer, I just want more stories.
