This was sometimes a bit hard to follow with the audiobook. It was a bit slow in the beginning, setting up characters and the background. Once the story started to pick up it was quite engaging!

BDB goes UF! Not your typical entry from the Warden.

So, I don’t know if I missed the memo, but this was totally not what I expected in a BDB-adjacent novel. I was reading expecting your typical PNR-style story, but this is much more of an Urban Fantasy novel from J.R Ward, and I’m not complaining! I mean, I was initially - because it took until 68% before we got some hanky panky action - but that’s because I was expecting PNR!

Anyways, now that I’ve gotten over that, I think I actually enjoyed the read. The story has good bones, though it was a bit rushed at the end. This is not a “one and done” couple - the book is set up for Lydia & Daniel’s storyline to continue into the next book and I’m interested to see where it takes us, especially with the links to Xhex & the sympath colony.

It almost broke my ❤ not to give this a 5. However, it was good in that way that only Ward can write it... This felt like a building up to something big bad kinda story (Hopefully where a badguy gets dusted Forever!), and in the end we're left with a whole lot of questions to be answered. First let's chat about Lydia & Daniel... I almost want to call it slow burning... these two are so hot for each other but the hands off thing, was... I was like, "Dang it! Just do the thing!" I liked the side characters such as Candy, Eastwind, and even C.P. ...maybe... I love that a BDB character is going to be closely connected at some point! Xhex! Yes! She's so bada$$!!
Looking forward to Book#2 Summer 2022!🥰
