I absolutely got this book the day it became available without reading the synopsis first. But, I have loved the last three of Amanda Sun's books so I already knew I'd like this one as well.

And I was absolutely correct. It's been about a year since I've read one of her books, but I fell back into the characters rather quickly. There were two entirely different stories going on in this, one folklore and one more contemporary romance, and I enjoyed both of them.

Unlike the other novella, Shadow, this was a spin off of the series featuring the friends of Katie Greene as well as the beginning to the paranormal aspect of the series.

Yuki and Tanaka's story was freaking adorable and Izanami and Izanagi's was beautiful and heartbreaking.

Highly recommend this series to everyone ever in the world. Because I adore it. It's the only series I but in paperback. I'd get Rise and Shadow as paperback if it were available.
