Every feeling possible

This book was pretty darn heartbreaking and uplifting.
I thoroughly enjoyed and have gone back to reread it.

If you like Wolfsong by Klune or Slow Shift by Nazarea Andrews, you will love this book just as much.

Damien is a young man trying to find his space and through so much hell, he finds it with the Salgados and his heart, Hakan.

This book takes your feelings for a ride and leaves you exhilarated.

Dude. I could learn all the languages in the world and I still think it might not be enough to describe how beautiful this book was. It was finding out about dessert for the very first time. It was seeing your favorite person after being away from them for so long. It was telling someone about your fears, making them see your flaws and still being accepted for who you are, finding out that they don't see you any different. It was sleeping at the car ride home and waking up tucked in your bed. This was comfort in book form. Marina Vivancos did it again.

It was kind of a heartbreaking story. I loved the family dinamic. I like the book as it's but I feel like something is missing. But is my favourite read of the week so far.

This is the second book of Marina's that I've read (and back-to-back, both in one day). This was so beautiful, that's all I can really say.

This one is a bit different than the usual shifter romance. The shifters are there along with the pack mentality, scent marking, full and half shifts, etc. But the story is more about Damien, who is orphaned at nine and is then put into the foster care system where his experiences are anything but pleasant. Parts of his story were truly heartbreaking, and I'll admit that I spent a fair amount of the beginning of this story wondering where it was going. Nevertheless, it is a compelling story and we do eventually get to the romance, but that's just a small part of Damien's journey. He has an uphill climb as he tries to figure out his place in the world while also dealing with all the self-doubt and low self-esteem instilled in him during his time in the system. Even when he finds a home with the Salgado's, he struggles and can't quite let his guard down. The writing style is also a little different, especially with the lead-ins for memories and dreams. It has a storyteller feel to it, which would normally be a source of contention for me, but with this one, it somehow works. I will say that the above mentioned wondering was laid to rest once everything came together. It may have been a journey, but it is a engaging story and I enjoyed the trip.
