This was a great intro to an interesting take on fae lore. I really enjoy when an author takes our current world, and plunks a fantasy world right down in the middle of it. The first half of this duology left a lot of unanswered questions, and I'm curious to see how she is going to unravel what she has wrought. I will definitely be reading book 2 when it comes out to see how the puzzle resolves. Jack+Sav Forevah!😍

Roe is known predominantly for his Omegaverse stories, so this contemporary was surprising to me. It blows my mind that, in a novella, he managed to make me horny and weepy. 😂 The way he made me care about the characters in such a short period of time and accept the instalove of it all was kind of masterful. 🥰

Ronan, Ronan, Ronan. 😍😍 Attractive, solemn, keeps secrets, and is *ahem* physically gifted. I am so happy Tucker came out of Wolf Hotel "retirement" to tell his story. 😂 And she matched him with Sloane the Spitfire? Perfection. I enjoyed the Pre-Abbi and Post-Abbi sequencing, and the scene on the boat? 🔥🔥🔥 This book is definitely worth your time and attention. 😏
