REVIEW

Disclaimer: I received this book at no cost from the publisher/author. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. I am leaving a voluntary review and all opinions are my own. 

Holy wow! After finishing this book I am so full of adrenaline that it's hard to contain it. I don't know why but I mistakenly assumed that this was a trilogy. I don't know what gave me that assumption but I have never been more glad to be wrong. There is going to be at least one more book in this series and I am so stoked for it after that ending!

I am so very satisfied with the plotting of this series. I really like the originality that the author has used in the creation of the story. A lot of shifter books can be repetitive and a lot of them use a lot of the same tropes and ideas. This series really stands out in terms of creativity. This series isn't a carbon copy of other shifter romances. I was on the edge of my seat trying to figure out all of the mysteries in this story. There are still many to uncover and I can't wait for everything to be revealed. I really love this author's writing style. It's so easy to read and very polished at the same time. The writing has a natural flow and it's easy for the reader to connect to the story. The world-building is well written. It's easy to grasp the world these characters live in and it's easy to fall right into the world. 

The characters in this series are so compelling. I was drawn to them from the very beginning of the first book. They have a magnetic quality that draws the reader in and doesn't let go. I love how distinct each character is. Each character has their own identity and personality that differentiates them from the other characters. I also love how relatable the characters are. It's so easy to connect with them. 

I have really loved the slow-burn aspect of the main romance in this series. Feelings do come to the forefront in this book though for Reed and Joey. They have been building up some serious feelings and we finally get to see them declare those feelings. Any hope of something more for them is snatched away in the last chapter because of Joey's family curse so I am really excited to read the next book and see what unfolds for the two of them. I am also really enjoying the potential budding romance between some of the other characters. And I still have hope for some of the secondary characters to be paired together in the end. 

Overall, this sequel really exceeded my expectations. This book surprised me in many ways. I loved the shocking twists and turns in the story that kept me guessing. If you enjoy paranormal romance with creative and unique plotlines, well-developed characters that you can't get out of your head, and a slow-burn romance that is just so satisfying then you need to pick up this series! I can't recommend it enough!
