I really liked the premise of the book but the writing left me confused. The book follows Alana, a swan shifter who encounters Fae, a wolf shifter, when Alana gets stuck in ice. They decided to fake a relationship to solve some family pressure. Shifter books are hit or miss for me but I liked Hall's shifter mythology. I wish there was some more world building in form of the world of shifters. There was bits of information here and there but some more would have been ideal.
As mentioned before the writing left me confused. There were sections where it felt like every other sentence was removed. I found myself periodically go "wait what?" and having to reread sections. The characters would do something and next sentence would be like 2 steps ahead of where they were. I feel like the book could have used a little more fleshing out to make the story smooth.
All in all, it was a quick read with an interesting premise. If the writing doesn't bother you then this could be for you.

Unexpected reading, but very happy to have picked it
This was lovely. To me was the first time I've been met with this premise, not the shifter bit, but their struggles. I really wouldn't mind at all if this was expanded in the future. I really would love to see more of them and their dynamics, also would really like know more about Alana's family, also Fay's.
also, I have questions like what made the swan change its mind, what changed in their being since it sounded like something happened. It's not a must, but I'd love to know.
