We love enemies to lovers
One bed trope, miscommunication trope, enemies to lovers, magic, shifters, and a young woman’s journey in processing and healing her trauma in the ways she can. This debut novel does contain a fair number of issues with the editing but nothing that readers can’t figure out what was meant. I think this is a great start for a new author and I can’t wait to see her journey as a writer!

If you’re looking for and exciting and mysterious book filled with magic and even revenge all wrapped up with a bit of enemies to lovers this is the book for you. I absolute adore this story and all the twists and turns we travel through with Ingrids past and Cason hope for the future.

A book is only as good as it’s beginning and end, and this book has both. I was gripped by Ingrids story the moment I read the first page and didn’t stop caring about her the entire book. I still care and cannot wait for the next book. Multiple POV make this a quick read that flies by while you enjoy every bit of the world and character building. Definitely worth the read.

Once I finished the first chapter, I was hooked. I love the characters. The world building. It is a painful and deeply beautiful story! Highly recommend!!

Started this audiobook because I needed something to listen to while I got things done, however found myself so quickly drawn in to the fascinating plot and warm characters.
There were definitely times the main character made choices that drove me crazy, but on a much deeper level, found I actually appreciated the “humanity” and realism of it. Seems strange to say about a fantasy novel, but I look forward to the next book and hearing how the MC grows.
Were there bits that were predictable? Yes, but most books are and this one was well written. An absolute delight as a debut novel by Steinbrecher and found myself more caught off guard than figuring out what was to come.
And the narrator was absolutely tremendous. Well done!

This is one of those books that you just can’t put down. The intensity was amazing and kept you on the edge of your seat. Definitely recommend this book.

Talk about a cliffhanger
This was a good book and I am definitely going to read the second book. I can’t believe that after everything Cason and Ingrid said to each other that Cason would just be done at the snap of a finger. Ingrid shouldn’t have lied but I understand why she did. I just hope that Sophie will pull through for Ingrid and talk some sense into Cason.
