Also I know it's just common in American parlance now, but you'd think actual writers would know that it's "I wish you had told me", not "I wish you would've...". It makes no sense. Anyway.
My overarching sense with romance fantasy, which leaves me questioning my sanity whenever I think I'm in the mood for something easy like this, is how some actual semblance of a stronger storyline would do wonders for the novel as a whole. The whole of Thief of Souls thing could make this a straight-up horror novel, if done right.
Werewolf bf/ex-bf sideplot was utterly unnecessary.
Books like these usually have the most detestable main characters but Callie and Desmon were fine. Apart from the stupid names. "Des" sounds like a guy who loves fish and chips drowning in salt and vinegar lmao.

I did feel the flashbacks were irritating for me, jumping back and forth for very little information. I liked that Des and Callie were close until I reflected on the grooming vibe of a underage victim or abuse. Nope… for me.
I also found the FMC a bit whiny at times but I still enjoyed here the other 50% of the time when she was acting like an adult. The side characters felt so one dimensional and the reasoning for things didn’t feel like ACTUAL REASONS!
The spice was a good 3🌶️🌶️🌶️.5 but as the story continued,
this book was not a story I will revisit or finish the series.
