I loved this book! I liked how the author managed to somehow make such a timid character into a badass without losing her true/original personality. The world building was also immerse for a romance novel. In all I liked the thrill, passion and excitement of this story. The other characters were also intriguing. Can’t wait to read more.

This book is almost a reflection of what the writing community learned over time regarding possessive heroes and lack of consent in romance books. The hero is unlikeable at the beginning and makes some unforgiveable mistakes, but he does learn over time. I would have liked a lot more groveling. This is a beloved series, so despite some of the cringey moments, I did like the world-building seen in this book. I look forward to continuing.

Bananapants. I've been a listener of the Fated Mates podcast for two years (ish), and finally, I read this entry into the Immortals After Dark series. The plot is over the top, and the world-building is intriguing and engaging. At the start of the story, there are issues around consent that may make some readers uncomfortable. Still, the author incorporates the MMC's understanding of consent and boundaries in the MMC's emotional growth. For readers who are looking for a paranormal where the FMC finds her strength and voice as the central relationship evolves, this is a terrific option.
