4.5 stars.

This is well crafted book with an original plot, a wonderful cast of main and secondary characters, good pacing that kept me turning the pages and great world building.
The very likeable Jude and Roman come together to keep the world safe from magical monsters. They find themselves inexplicably drawn to each other but circumstances don’t permit their union. Jude is told that duty is above all else, fighting monsters is what his family does and that’s that!
The secondary cast is full of interesting characters and I fell in love with Roger, the sweetest troll ever to exist.
Combine minimal angst, a couple of heated moments, some action and a dash of drama and you’re left with a very enjoyable and engaging read.
The author tells us that there is more to come in Jude and Roman’s story and I can’t wait.
