This was the first book to fix my super long reading slump, not to mention, I read it entirely in one sitting.
I'm a HUGE sucker for shifter, soul mate bonded type books. I eat it up. I found this suggestion on reddit and I enjoyed it, but I feel like its missing something for me. I think the angst just wasn't as angsty as I wanted it to be? A lot of this book was spent in both POVs learning one another and rekindling a rejection/miscommunications, but I still felt like there was no real conversations had, and that REALLY stuck out to me. Miscommunication without fixing with *actual* communication. I don't mind the miscommunication trope like some people do, but it needs to be fixed in a satisfying way, and it just wasn't for me.
There were certain plot points that were unique, which is what I always like to see in your more 'typical' shifter/paranormal romances. That was fun. A nick pick of mine was I think the smut could have been a bit more satisfying, I guess. I'm a sucker for a steamy build up in the smut before the boom boom pow.
So, I do like this book, and I'll probably buy it physical to add to my shifter collection I've began growing. I have read better shifter romances, but this wasn't bad by any means. I'm curious to read more of the series.
***Second reread 8/8/2024
ok yes I'm rereading less then a month later don't judge plz.
I'm just in a shifter mood this month and nothing has quite scratched the itch of rejected mates like this series has. I'm gonna bump this one up to 5 stars. I think I was a bit harsher in my first read through because I went through a long reading slump before this and i didn't realize just how difficult it could be to find a satisfying rejected mate book. I appreciate it more now lmao.

LO LAMENTO. La portada es bastante fea. Leí el primer 70% sin problemas y de ahí me aburrió como no tienes idea. No es muy bueno, no lo recomendaría chavales.

Don’t let the title or the cover fool you - this book is surprisingly well written and a genuinely fun read.
The way I ate this up for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

I mean when I saw this was akin to Ice planet barbarians but werewolf idk what I expected but that was pretty accurate description
I have been looking for a book with some really good groveling and/or redemption and this book fit the bill! Killian was awful to Una and deserved her anger. She made him work for her forgiveness, and work for it he did! A really great start to this series!

I enjoyed the "plot twist" that was thrown in about their memories being erased. I thought it added something different from a regular rejected mate's story.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
