Solid YA romantasy! Give me more stories with a scary girl and her sad wet bf! 

Be warned, this is definitely a ROMANtasy. The fantasy aspects are throughout the whole book, but the action mostly revolves around the protagonists’ romance - which I didn’t mind because I loved them both! Reading this made me feel fuzzy inside, the way it felt to read a stunning fanfiction back in 2014 (you know the ones with the titles in all lowercase, don’t pretend not to!). There is also some heavy-hitting Mommy Issue content in here that had my feeling some kind of way, so keep that in mind!

CW: animal death on page (especially in regards to hunting), child death mentioned, gun violence, abandonment, gore, body horror, death, racism, classism, some sexual content, antisemitism, emotional abuse from a parent, blood, injury/wounds (animals & people), nationalism, xenophobia, ptsd & mental illness, alcohol, grief

this was such a cute, sweet, slow burn romance with a bit of magic thrown in. it's written beautifully while also dealing with quite a few heavy topics. I loved it and would absolutely read from Saft again!
