I think I preferred the first one. This one I find has too many pov's and one I particularly didn't care for (Tharion). However the plot is good and very thorrough. The first book I feel had more solid plot events to keep us going especially with the murders. This one however in the middle is a little slow for my liking. The last 100 pages really kick off in true SJM fashion, the last 100 pages really had me excited and make me eager for the next book which I can tell is gearing up for a big event. I did really like the story however this book is very exposition heavy which isn't necessarily a bad thing. I do really like the world and think what is to come is interesting.

That being said, I REALLY loved the world and lore expansion in this book. And I’m a huge fan of crossover series! This book left me satisfied with our FMC/MMC relationship, hopeful for new relationships, and SO excited to revisit old favorites.

The first book of the series I found to be my favourite of her works. The plot was insanely interesting, a bit of a mystery to solve and complex characters to follow with great relationships, found family and of course Lusty romance!
Since this is an adult series there are more explicit topics explored, though most of this authors works would prepare you well for her adult novels.
Definitely recommend.

Bryce was a bit annoying, and Hunt was a bit underwhelming, but the supporting cast was absolutely incredible. Team Ruhn.
