This book was a cheesy, fluffy paranormal romance with very lovable characters. I adored Frederick’s character and how the relationship between him and Cassie developed, though I didn’t like Cassie as much (she seemed pretty average and not a lot of interesting personality traits). It was funny to see how Frederick interacted with the world and their relationship was so awkward as they caught feelings for each other early on but tried to fight it. I breezed through this book is like a day and a half and had a lot of fun. The spice was nice too and was quite the slow burn. This book could have been longer and gone deeper into Frederick’s past and how he adjusted to the modern world. The “third act conflict” felt out of proportion with the rest of the book and also resolved way too easily. This was fun but not phenomenal in its execution.

This was a solid 4/4.5 until the last ...10%? of the book. The final plot twist (if it can even be called that) is just so bizarre, so random, and so completely out of left field and unfitting with the genre that I genuinely looked like this ಠಿ_ಠ the whole time I was reading it.
Despite that, I'd still recommend the book. Overall, it's an adorable, funny, low stakes modern fantasy romance that I couldn't put down.
