ENG
The story was not the worst but I just was not a fan how messy it got. I thought of dnfing early in the story but I was intrigued enough to continue. I mean there is nothing to regret because it had definitely cute moments and even had kind of fun. On the other hand, it is one of those books that I would call single-use read where you read it and never look back.

this wasn’t what i was expecting but i loved it! i really enjoyed the writing style and the characters i just wish there was more tension and development. i think i’d like it more with a reread and managed expectations.

I read the fourth book in this series first as it was part of a giveaway. I loved that this first one focused on Una and Killian as I had already liked her character. Una is a great MC - strong, smart, brave. Her and Killian’s love story was unexpectedly sweet. I liked this one much better than the fourth one, and it has me rethinking some of the things that I didn’t love about the fourth in light of events and characterizations in this one.

I laughed so much, but also felt feelings.  Killian J’s so dumb, but he ended up being the endearing kind of dumb.  Una was very much a girl crush.  She deserves every good thing and I love her.  I want to see all her girls fall in love (though I am a bit worried about Mari’s age gap situation), especially Kennedy.  Kennedy was my favorite of the side characters.

 Content Warnings: Sexual situations, ableism, violence, sexism, misogyny, sexual assault, sexual harassment, child abuse, transphobia, toxic relationships, and domestic violence.
Mention of: rape, death of parents, murder, attempted murder, kidnapping, eugenics [in the form of killing anyone considered weak or "damaged", and captivity.

I instantly liked Una and her personality and wanted to punch Killian where it hurts 😤

The pack history was interesting, angering but interesting...and you don't find many shifter books where mated pairs sleep with other people...so that was something I wasn't expecting.

Loved that Una constantly challenged Killian and didn't back down from his BS...which was A LOT. haha Really wish he'd done more groveling tbh 😤

Overall it was a fun read and I'll most likely be checking out the rest of the series 💜

The angst. That sweet, sweet angst. I inhaled this book in one day. I really thought I was going to struggle with this trope- I can’t handle second-hand embarrassment but I was so wrong! The tension, Una’s determination, the groveling made it all so worth it.

Das ist so ein Buch, das man liest, weil ein Bagger das Glasfaserkabel beschädigt hat und die ganze Stadt ohne Fernseher, Internet, oder Telefon dasteht, so dass man das einzige Buch, das ungelesen auf dem Tablet ist, lesen muss, und es ist zufällig dieses hier, auch wenn es voll furchtbar ist, aber man hat keine Wahl * **

* Diese Geschichte beruht auf einer wahren Begebenheit

** WTF für ne Scheiße habe ich hier lesen müssen ***

*** Das einzige HEA hier wäre, wenn Werwolfjäger alles plattmachen würden und anschließend die Asche salzen

This book had absolutely NO BUSINESS BEING THIS GOOD.

This title, this cover, this concept? None of it looks like a book I would like and yet - I stayed up way past my bedtime finishing it. The pacing is great and the characters are so so so realistic (lol yes, I am saying that about wolf shifters, fated mates, magic and uhhhh…knots). 

Anyway, if you need me I’ll be busy making this series my whole personality.

👍🏻Recommended!! If you love groveling and modern fantasy with gripping plots and incredible tension? This is for you.
