Mkay I’m going to give this a 2 ⭐️ review.

I didn’t love it. The plot was good. Spice was great.

But the characters landed like a wet fart. No lie. The MMC mostly, he’s a bore and grates on my nerves. The only redeeming part about the FMC is her love for animals and the friends she makes in this book.

The characters interacted VERY LITTLE other than the spice (which was great, btw). Wolf’s internal monologues got old fast. Nothing new was discovered about his character, and all he did was pine after his woman, complain, and get jealous.

Also, the scene where he sneaks into her room and watches her sleep, and considers dropping his pants and jerking it? WTF?! I didn’t like how he talked to her in the first book, and after I saw that line was like yeah no I hate him. The rest of the book is just his mushy whining over Sabine. He COMPLETELY loses the brooding mysterious dark male persona in this book. Not a fan.

The ONLY reason I’m going to be continuing this story is for Rian. He is the ONLY character that had any depth in this book, and I want him to have a happy ending. Long live King Rian.

I don't remember what I rated the first book in this series, but I know the 3rd book is already out and I will NOT be reading it!

The Basten chapters were so god awful that I was rooting for Rian almost from the beginning. (Note: I realized about halfway through this book that the pronunciation could potentially be meant to be Ryan? In which case JUST NAME HIM RYAN?) Basten has literally no personality outside of being thirsty as fuck for the FMC. Wait, jk sometimes he.. *checks notes*... slaps his... pecs? To... get adrenaline to them? The author can't possibly think that's how muscles or hormones work?

Anyway the only plot line I cared about was Sabine training the monoceros (which is SUCH a ridiculous word?). And, tbh, the Rian redemption plot, which I'm still waiting for.

betrayed, Sabine does what she can do to survive in this new place, to adapt. but she continues being hopelessly in love with Basten. 
Basten tries to fight his attraction to her, but it's impossible to stay away.
there's violence and fights and new fae creatures.
