Highlights:
I picked up this book as part of my diverse monster romance spreedsheet! I really liked both Miranda and Drak. Miranda has intense oldest sister syndrome and loves to care for others but Drak is the one who takes care of her. I love the language barrier trope and this one reminded me why I prefer alien books before they have a translation chip or whatever the equivalent is in their series. This is my first book in this series and I liked this version of fates mates with the tattoo on the wrist.

Lowlights:
Miranda got dickmatized in the second half of this book which made it much less enjoyable or interesting. She no longer could make logical decisions and was hyper reactive to everything, even when it wasn't necessary. I hate when this happens to good main characters in books like this.

Horn Level: 3/5
