Do you love a MMC who will do absolutely unhinged things because he loves his mate, but is never ever mean to her and always worships the ground she walks on? Then this love story is for you. Is it deep? No. Is there much world building? No. Is it completely delightful even without those components? Absolutely.

Summary Review:
This book is probably for someone who enjoys fantasy romance with a touch of darkness. It’s a quick read with a simplistic writing style and a relatively small cast of main characters for most of the book. There is explicit sexual scenes depicted on the page and some amputation/death.
More In-depth Review:
This book is nice for a reading slump. While I personally think the book was just okay, it was easy to read and had limited world building which helped me finish my first book in months.
However, the writing is very simple. The diction is elementary and the writing style is very tell not show. Most of the plot twists I was able to figure out at the beginning of the book. The beginning of the book was slow and drawn out. It lead me to believe there was going to be a big climactic point of conflict in the novel, but it never quite got there. I had a ton of anticipation, but most conflicts were trivial arguments that were resolved in a handful of pages. Even the final conflict of the novel was quickly resolved with practically no consequences.
This novel has dark elements, but the mmc didn’t really give off lethal. There was a lot of threatening to murder people and no actual murdering happening (from both the mmc and fmc). He gave off arrogant and petulant child that resource guards.
Based on the acknowledgments at the end of the book it does appear that it is the first in a series focusing on the world presented in the book. So I believe the world will be more fleshed out in those most likely.
Overall:
While this book isn’t ranked in my top notch novels. I don’t regret reading it. It was the perfect book to get me out of the reading slump that I was in. It was mostly easy to follow and had enough intrigue to keep me coming back to it. I do have complaints about the plot holes and writing style, so I most likely won’t complete this series. However, I am appreciative to this author for all the work and effort she put into the book.

I can't fairly give this a star rating because the author's note explicitly states, "Do not take this book too seriously, as it was written to be a fun, quick read," and that's exactly what it is, but it is also bad! Not offensive, mind you, just toxic AF p*rn without plot. If it had been any longer, it wouldn't have been worth it to read. Was pretty much like fanfic. Not sure I'll follow the rest of the series as it's released, but at least it was an easy distraction for the last hour.

Author said it was just for fun and I respect that. I wish it had more depth to the characters feelings. It all just felt a bit superficial/surface level (and also seemed very confused about what is lust/sex and love).

I love a when a character is so in love they become just a feral, unhinged creature in the name of their beloved. This book is “touch her and you die” but like, they actually die lol.
This book is a quick read. It’s described as a long novella or a short novel, and I would agree. I read it in less than 24 hours and that wasn’t super difficult for me on a busy weekend.
We have the fae, we have fated mates, we have long distance, we have mistaken identity, we have morally black, and we have the dumbest boy who you just want to lick. This book is quite possibly perfect. AND AN EPILOGUE SEVEN YEARS IN THE FUTURE?! Get the paddles cause my heart just gave out. I love it all.
This is definitely a ✨vibes✨ book. Their relationship is basically the whole plot, and honestly I’m not mad at it. It’s a super interesting concept and there’s enough twisty turnies to keep you on your toes.

Ugh, Rennick is TOP TIER. I loved all the revelations that came as I read but things didn’t get overwhelming. The perfect little snack of a fantasy read!
I want more for sure!

A very fun little read! Definitely over the top, so if you're looking for realism, this probably isn't the book for you. But if you want a fun little escapist adventure, look no further.
My only gripe is that the writing could feel a little stilted at times. This could especially be felt at big emotional moments where the writer is trying to convey something, but ended up falling a little short. However, it wasn't anything atrocious, just a small complaint.
