Short and spicy. Pretty much what I've grown to expect from Katee Robert's writing. 

Story moved quickly, but was repetitive, which was disappointing. I also found myself having a harder time rooting for the relationship than I usually  would, which I assume is mostly because they don't really talk to each other until the last 1/3 of the book, so the relationship development felt a bit forced. I feel like the story as a whole would have benefited from either being shorter and cutting out the redundancy, or a lot longer to flesh out the detail and lore that was just hinted at.

Omg. This book is so good. I loved how relatable these characters were. They were doing with their past traumas while also navigating a new relationship.  

Catilina makes a deal with a demon to get away from mother and get money to live happily. Thane is a kraken humanoid who has closed himself off after his husband died. Lina just wants to be given love since she was not provided it as a child and her adult life. She has been the person everyone thinks needs to change to be loved. While Thane is very blunt now that his husband passed. Thane doesn’t know why but he wants to make Lina happy and safe but feels like being away from him is the answer to that. 

They finally see that they could both be happy but they just stop blaming themselves for everything. They learn to communicate better and their their second chance at a happily ever after.
