I liked Seneca and Tyran's story. The healing nature of love and family was the forefront of this story, but the story was drawn out with descriptions and unnecessary dialog. I would recommend this story to anyone who enjoys PNR.

I don't know if I'm going to put a rating on this because I feel like maybe it's not the book's fault that I found the vibes of this absolutely rancid.

Or, rather, the book is being what it sets out to be and it's just not for me. Can someone please give me werewolf books without heaping helpings of gender essentialism and aggressively domineering men? No matter how much you try to couch it in paranormal language, the concept of "you're saying no but your body says yes" is gross every single goddamn time.

In no universe will you ever narratively convince me - even in any kind of romance - that a MAN is the answer to everything in your life going to shit including dead family, brutally attempted sexual assault, and kidnapping. "Maybe the answer is accepting this man who forced himself on me but in a different way than that other guy tried to force himself on me" NO GIRL, THAT IS NOT THE ANSWER. GO TO THERAPY OR SOMETHING.

Also another book that is, in and of itself, a great example of the necessity of content warnings being included in books. This one does not have any and they were sorely needed.
