This is such a phenomenal book. It’s unbelievably heartbreaking what Robbie goes through, and a testament to the world that TJ Klune set up that I could be so moved by such a premise about supernatural mind fuckery. What Robbie went through was so powerful. I was cheering him on when he broke free. I was on the verge of tears when he didn’t want to remember his past. I loved the ending, the value of a pack, the bonds that surround him, it was enough to make me feel like I was being sung home by the Bennet pack. 

Also, the seamless way this book addresses the supernatural mating bond trope and includes an asexual person, just!!!!! I can’t think of a more wonderful book. This is one of my all time faves.

This book tore my heart out basically once a chapter, but I couldn’t put it down. It may start slow and mysterious, but stick with the confusing start, because the pay-off when it comes is huge. 

It’s more plot-heavy than the others, and if you haven’t read the first two, will likely make zero sense. But Kelly and Robbie’s love story being told backwards and forwards is woven in deftly, and the moments of comic relief (mainly from Carter and mostly between bouts of tears) are so very good.

I love this book. The asexual romance novel of my dreams. 
When I read this series as a whole, I always forget about the magic of this book. The heartbreak and heart healing. 
It always hits me upside the head and makes me weep and then warms my soul. 

For my romance fans, what this book lacks in spice, makes up for in dick jokes and honestly, I couldn’t be happier.
