Oh my gawsh. This book was so much more than I'd expected it to be.  Enemies to lovers,  possessive protector, love deeper than life,  HEA, and a creative storyline with a truly fresh perspective on the logistics and depths of inter-species love.  I really loved this book and can't wait to read the next one.  I listened to it on Audible and the narration was spot on, many audiobooks are simply read.  This book was not just read as a basic narration of a book, the brilliant narrators did a fantastic job at drawing you into the story like you are experiencing it.  If I could give more stars I would.  Also this book addresses mental health and trauma in such an honest and real but nurturing way that is so great to see.

Loved the story,  so hot and yet so much depth, never thought it possible but at some points it feels like there's smut ontop of smut where it's not needed like it's been added just as a filler and the you are mine desperation need you to devote your life obsessively everytime it gets spicy was REALLY hammered in. That being said,  I loved the story and the plot and the smut and the ending

Loving this series,  always something new happening with lots of twists and turns in the story,  always a side mystery to the main plot mystery while still keeping a heart felt real take on life's challenges and relationships. Also love seeing Mina go through her journey of acceptance and embracing her abilities and life's Joy's while she loses others to her disability.

Very spicy little book,  and gosh it was hot.  But wasn't all just smut, had a lovely storyline too. Too many books with this much smut forget to put a plot or variety of 'activities' in but this book does not fail in that department.

I really enjoyed the first book but have enjoyed the second book so much more.  The story develops and continues on and doesn't loose out on interesting events like often happens in series where they end up happy together at the end of the first book. And of course, all the spice. Excited to start the next book in the series.

Love that this story is so different from many other fantasies, lovely to see the perspectives from the guardian angels looking over the mortals in their realm.  Forbidden love,  adventure, this has it all.
