This was a fun romp that checked all the boxes for what I look for in a paranormal romance. Flawed characters with a sense of humor, fun banter, crazy shenanigans, adventure and magic, and disaster gays. The smut was sizzling, the pace fast. I truly enjoyed this book and can't wait to read more from this author.

*incoherent flailing*
Hi. I love this book.
Okay, I was hesitant to give it a go and I can't really say why. Some stupid ingrained bias, maybe? Because I've had my fill of Arthurian retellings? So glad I ignored myself. This book was *amazing* and, let's be honest, not a retelling at all. Lance was easy to love. Reagan took me a little while longer but only because I needed time to take his measure. The plot had me guessing and I'm excited to see where it goes in future books. Honestly, I'd love a book about Jason. Or a prequel about Taylor and Daphne. Ugh. Look. I just love all the characters, okay? Definitely making my top-books-of-2023 list, that's for sure.

I enjoyed this book so much more than I thought I would! It was such an easy read and I flew through it. It was just the kind of read I needed at the moment. I thought this would just be a lot of spice and not much else but it was actually so much more and I absolutely adored the characters. There was a fantastic found family aspect and their dynamic was hilarious and so sweet.

It did feel a little bit like insta-love but the author really made it work and there was a nice build into the relationship. It was also pretty spicy and if you’re into a little bit of an omegaverse type of vibe then this might be the book for you.

I would recommend it if you want a side of plot with your werewolf spice or you love a found family and a witchy romance.

I really loved the initial concept, and I was excited to jump into the world building. Unfortunately, it felt like about halfway through, we were in a rush to the finish. I would have loved to spend more times with the characters to make their love feel justified and earned. While the action wasn't bad, some fights felt disorienting. Reagan and Lance are a great match for sure, and I wish we could have slowed down and lived with them a bit longer.

- so much thrown in with little to no backstory 
- everything just felt very surface-level 
- so many stupid decisions made by grown ass adults, there’s so many times I can roll my eyes before I stop caring

Fantastic start to the series. There is no release date for the next book listed, but it doesn't end on a cliffhanger   there are just issues left to be resolved.
Fantastic representation of sexual orientation and cultural diversity.
There is explicit smut in excellent detail, so 18+
