-fated mates
-forced proximity
-paranormal
This book was sooooo good. I loved Clarke and Rush dynamic together. Individually they were very interesting and I like reading about their past. I like how protective their were of each other even when they hated one another. I think my favorite part was Rush stepping in to protect Clarke. I also liked when he listened to her about her past and didn’t judge her for the choices she made. I can’t wait to read the second book!!!!

I read this book because of an upcoming Vegas trip and it basically takes place in dystopian future Vegas with time travel and fae and elves and magic and vampires and magic and shifters and magic school and potions and magic curses all smooshed together. There’s alot in this book. I’m interested in how the world is going to progress and will read the next one.
The characters in this felt a bit underdeveloped probably because there was so much world lore that had to happen. I’ll be interested to see if the characters in the next book feel more fully fleshed out.

i really need to stop adding books to my tbr just because there's a blond, bearded, muscular hottie on the cover
jokes aside, there's something about this book that doesn't really convince me. I mean, it's not even actually that bad and I don't really mind the plot (I don't know if I read this wrong, but this is some sort of Beauty and the Beast retelling, which are my absolute favorites?), but I'm not a fan of the writing (the format is a tad confusing, too) and the build-up is sort of underwhelming. The main character is also incredibly annoying, and in my book, an hateful main character weights more than a thousand bearded hotties.
Seriously, though. If that's not enough of an explanation as for why I'm abandoning this after only 60 pages, just think that, when I first started this, I was incredibly pumped because from the very beginning it seemed great and I was totally getting into it.
I then noticed the names of the characters were not the ones I read on the books blurb so I went back to the menu and, surprise! I accidentally started reading the whole thing from a random point in the book that also turned out to be one of those bonus prologues of the author's other works they sometimes put at the end of a book.

This was in my TBR and I had my husband pick a number and it was this. I was not in the right head space for reading but every time i picked it up, i could not put it down! Beautifully written, intriguing, great plot, wonderful characters. I give this book 5 stars because it deserves it!. Low on spice but big on story. I absolutely loved this and i will be reading more by Lana Pecherczyk. Thorne's book already has me interested.

Human con-woman x Wolf shifter/Fae LI
Wasn't necessarily convinced in the first half but the second half picked up in plot intrigue. Probably one of the more interesting starts to a romantasy series that I've read in a while. It had some interesting urban/dystopian fantasy elements. I'm also a fan of each book being a different couple.
TBD on if I'll continue the series but it may be something fun to come back to.

Worth it
Quick read. Great twists. Hot characters.
This book put a twist on dystopian books that haven’t read before and enjoyed.
Romance wasn’t overly graphic but the spice was there.
