“Once I’m gone, I want you to remember one thing.” “Okay,” Rick croaked out, his throat clogged with pleas for Kai to stay. “I never asked you to change.”

Not really sure what to say about this one. I love Kiki Clark and this book has all the right ingredients that I usually love, but somehow I still didn’t love it. I’m not sure I can accurately say why. It was just a little underwhelming, and the plot relied heavily on a lack of communication which didn’t help.

There were some cute moments and I do want to continue the series, but overall not my favorite by this author, unfortunately.

Also, I have a real bone to pick with shifter books where there’s little to no shifting. What’s the point then?

Kirt Graves did a good job with the audiobook tho.
