I enjoyed this for what it was. I wasn't initially sure how I would handle a rejected mates storyline because I LOVE fated mates, but I was willingly to try it out.
I will say, I was ready for this book to be like super spicy and for the most part it was not. It's pretty fluffy in terms of Killian who is just a straight simp for Una, once he stops being an ass. Their story is pretty cute and slightly heartbreaking when you learn it. Their banter is fun.
I liked the world that was created with the wolves and how they interact with others. How they shift and how the wolves are kind of their own personality while also being a part of the human. I hated how much it was a slow burn and how far we dragged it out. Like our I love yous, TOOK A DECADE. I don't handle slow burns well.
Mostly the story was just alright. I enjoyed the journey but there was nothing that made me LOVE it. It's a pretty solid shifter book so I will eventually finish the series.
