Tethered mates and wolves
First and foremost I want to say I am real picky with my romantasy. I either like it as a whole or not at all. With this one particularly I have fallen right in the middle. I knew going in it would end in a cliffhanger because 99.9% of this book genre does. So if you are not a fan of cliffhangers braze yourself. As for the story as a whole it is not my favorite but i did enjoy it more than I thought I would. Caz and Willow's story I loved, especially the telepathic part. The whole world building is detailed and easy to keep up with. The plot itself is entertaining as expected. There's unexpected twist and turn which I very much applaud. However, the love/romance part and chemistry between Caz and Willow is what I am questioning (in a good way). At times I really felt the love but other times it felt as if the only reason they were together was because of the bond between them. Other than that the story as a whole is one to read if you love dark romantasy, fated mates, interracial love, and slowburn.
