This book....I was hooked from the first sentence, and devoured it in 2 days. I cannot wait to continue this series. I picked it up because a lady i follow on tiktok described it as an adult Mortal Instruments. It's similar in the fact that it has all the monsters (werewolves, vampirea, demons), and people that hunt them, a.k.a. Darkslayers. But that'  where the similarities stop i think.  The world building was so good and thorough, the characters are all amazing, and it has a slow burn romance that I just ate up. Oh...did I mention the shadowdaddy 😉 and spirit familiars!
