This was a fun story! I’m pleasantly surprised. Admittedly I set the bar pretty low when it comes to romances, but I liked this one. And I loved how short it was! At four and a half hours, I listened to this in one sitting and it was so nice listening to something short and easy for once. Plus, Therese Palmer did a stellar job narrating and made this a much more enjoyable experience than if I had simply read the book.

I really loved Jolie! She’s such an awesome, kick ass character and I love that she’s a smart, sassy dancer. And Hauk is an absolute sweetie and I love watching their relationship grow. The characters in this book are really what make it. Plus, the world building is pretty interesting and I was super intrigued by the whole Underlight thing.

My only gripe was Whitney. Oh my god, she never shuts up.

Shut up!

FINAL WORD

A quick and easy romance that was pretty fun to listen to with some nice characters. I’ll definitely continue the series to see what happens next!
