It's short and exciting.
Matias the serious and Ramona his sworn enemy meet face to face under less than ideal circumstances... MUCH less...
Their adulterous spouses have decided to run off with their life's work. A life's work that could make or break their families and will also give the winner extraordinary powers of violence.
The world building is top notch, but the short format doesn't allow for a lot of depth in the characters. Still, they are admirable characters and had me wrapped around their fingers. I like that there's enough science to make it science fiction and not fantasy.
I listened to the audiobook and the reader was fabulous.
And I gotta say, nobody does retribution like Ilona Andrews!
Safety is good.

They are both married at the start so even though they are attracted to each other, it was more their married status than that their families are enemies, that stopped them from acting on that attraction. So no hanky panky til the end ; )
Loved the climate of the city and the imagery. The romance seemed a bit forced and the story itself is very bland. The villains are very unimaginative and the protagonists being some sort of fated pairs is very dull as well.Their love is understandable after their previous sacrifices for their families but it felt too abrupt. Overall nothing special but also nothing too bad.
I normally love Illona Andrews books, and I thoroughly enjoyed the other novellas in this Kinsmen universe, but unfortunately I did not care for this one. I felt like it just dragged on for too long, but then the relationship still felt very rushed at the end despite the longer book length. I think this story had potential, but it would have been better if it had been edited down to a short story/novella like the earlier books in the Kinsmen series.
