Hidden review not super spoilery but just in case
For those of us who’ve read all the THIRDS books, the collection of short stories, the novellas, the THIRDS Thursdays snippets, this book comes along like a breath of fresh air. Much as I love Dex and Sloane and the Destructive Delta gang (and I do love them, so, so much – Dex would have to be one of my favourite book characters) I was happy that their story was basically finished, they have their HEA, they’ve married and moved on to bigger and brighter things. It’s time for some new stories in this richly developed world.
Austen and Zach, a cheetah Therian and a bear Therian, have been in the background of the Dex and Sloane show since book 2. They meet when Austen has been injured by rogue Therians and Sloane asks Zach to look after Austen for him. As the THIRDS books progress you get hints of what is going on in the background, but while we get a glimpse into Austen’s world a little, as it collides a lot with Destructive Delta, and you also get a couple of POV moments, Zach is still a bit of a mystery to us.
My first impression of Zach as he holds Dex upside down because he took the last packet of cheesy doodles wasn’t great. But obviously there is more to the story and in this book, we get a wonderful glimpse into a more normal life of a Therian. Zach isn’t tortured, he doesn’t have a dark past. He isn’t a lone wolf (pretty hard with the amount of siblings he has), and he is the youngest, so has been coddled and babied most of his life.
Very different to Austen, whose background is painful (Sloane found him as a street kid at 14 remember?).
This is a very much more traditional romance than the THIRDS series. They were more about the action and the continuing adventures of Destructive Delta, and the sex was pretty hot, but this book, the title says it all. I think that’s why I really loved this, probably more than some of the THIRDS books, certainly more than the THIRDS books that weren’t Dex and Sloane POVs.
I won’t talk about the story much, as it isn’t out for a while yet, but there is definitely a HEA, no cliffhangers, and some subtle hints about who might be next.
Cutest moment: when Brayden changes into his Snow Leopard form and trots out with his fluffy tail in his mouth, aww.
