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.

 Had me hooked right from the start and wouldn't let me go. That first part kept me at the edge of my seat. Though there are some bits that belong in a horror movie, there was so much love in it. It was all through the book, the love between pack, friends, family, mates. It was sweet and beautiful. I would have liked a little more focus on the romance.
