Really quick and easy read. I can forgive the quick pacing and easy resolution of things as I did feel like it stayed true to short fairy folk tale structure. I liked the two MCs, and I think an extended, more fleshed out version would be completely welcomed by me. I could see the premise of the story being reformatted into a longer slow burn, but at this point, that's just personal preference. This was one where as soon as I finished the very last page, I was curious as to an epilogue after everything.

I was sure this was going to be a Five star read, but the last 15% was kinda a let down. Still liked the book over all.

It’s sort of a MM Vampire / Witch version of Beauty and the Beast. It honestly was pretty good though. Good writing, some surprises, good characters with real stakes. Good medium-slow burn. Great adult scenes.

Jak is what Bella Swan wishes she could be!!! All around lovely read with good narrative suspense, character development, and spice.

I loved the characterization throughout. Some plot points were a little predictable but eh it's a romance novel. And the way characters responded to events or new information was always on point.

I would call this a "nothing happens" novel because the first 70% is more character and relationship driven then action, but the action after that first 70% does not disappoint! (And no shade on "nothing happens" novels because that's my current WIP, too!)

Marius is excellent. Jak is excellent. I love their banter. Catherine and Victoria are excellent. I'd say they balance the "testosterone" well without falling into typical female supporting character tropes. The lore and world building are excellent. The audiobook narrator is excellent.

It's a fantasy vampire novel... there's blood, violence, and death. But it's very well done and the major violent descriptions are not senseless.

I promise it all works out in the end.

On child death:

Moderate child death because one character is the ghost of a child and they're kinda important and around a lot.
