I’M INTRIGUED.

The synopsis had me oh so intrigued. And I admit, I did enjoy it. Took awhile to grow on me though.

Our MMC, Valen is very Cardan Greenbriar coded (which could be a good or bad thing for you). The snarky fae who likes to drink a bit too much and has a major chip on his shoulder with the things he has to handle. Enter in, Keltania who’s only job is protect Valen. A very good forced proximity with a bit of enemies to lovers situation. The romance grew on me and I feel invested enough in them to continue this series.

The plot for the most part centers around traveling and seeing other mythical creatures (kelpies, trolls, etc.). Kinda dragged here and there and the villain reveals aren’t anything surprising. There’s some give and take here but I’m not mad I read it. I hope to see some story deviations that feel new in the second book.

Overall audience notes:
- YA Fantasy Romance
- Language: some strong
- Romance: make-outs; light innuendo
- Violence: high
- Trigger/Content Warnings: near death experiences, physical and magical altercations, loss of loved ones
