This book gave me the same feelings I had when I read SJM and Sherrilyn Kenyon for the first time.

I absolutely loved Saeris as a FMC because she wasn't perfect but was flawed. She made the wrong decisions and the right ones just like a human would. And those around her didn't baby her or treat her like she was breakable. The there was Kingfisher, he is the grumpy shadow daddy MMC and I loved him. I also liked that he was flawed but fought for those he loved still even though he didn't think he was worth it. The banter between them was great and it didn't stop once they go together. 

The standout side character has to be Carrion and maybe Lorreth. They both had me giggling and smiling. I need a book about those two asap. I don't care who their mates are I just need more of them. 

If you pick this up then I highly recommend the audiobook for it. It was perfect to listen to as you followed along as you read. 

Now I am going to wait in my corner for book two.
