It follows the formula for a fantasy romance to a T without having compelling characters. Want a ball? Check. We knew but we didn't acknowledge it romance? Check. Proximity? Check. It was fun, predictable, and was great to get me out of a reading slump. But boy could I see twists coming with all the heavy hints. 

I had no emotional attachment to any of the characters except *maybe* Heather, Fenrin, and Charys. Remy was boring. Hale was boring despite having a good back story. 

The spice was a jalapeño to a vet. The tension was better without it, and arguably a singular searing kiss could have been more impactful. 

Basically I liked the idea but I didn't really like the execution.

This is the story I didn’t know I needed. SPOILERS! The ease with which the FMC and MMC find themselves together and attracted to one another is a welcome change from the warring enemies to lovers I’m used to reading.

Hale is a breath of fresh air. He’s good from the start and never wavers. It would have been nice to get his point of view in this story though.

Loved it. Will continue reading the rest of the series.

I wasn't emotionally attached to anything in this story - but I can't say I was 'bored' because there was always something happening (albeit annoying or dumb some times)

There were a few moments where i was getting excited, specifically for the the horse sized lion that never came... but she did at least

I liked that she kept saying she wasn't fine when she wasn't - that was good for me.

Towards the end of the book ~70% it started to really pick up and there were two specific scenes that i thought were amazing visuals that I will think about for some time, horrific and gory, but well done.

Not sure how this hasn’t blown up on booktok yet! I’m so glad I found it though. The main character was lovable from start to finish. Not sure I’ve ever used the word “wholesome” to describe books in this genre, but it definitely had its moments. When I finished, I actually said out loud “what a sweet story.”
