I did feel the flashbacks were irritating for me, jumping back and forth for very little information. I liked that Des and Callie were close until I reflected on the grooming vibe of a underage victim or abuse. Nope… for me.
I also found the FMC a bit whiny at times but I still enjoyed here the other 50% of the time when she was acting like an adult. The side characters felt so one dimensional and the reasoning for things didn’t feel like ACTUAL REASONS!
The spice was a good 3🌶️🌶️🌶️.5 but as the story continued,
this book was not a story I will revisit or finish the series.

The pacing is pretty good, and while some plot points are a bit obvious to the discerning reader (
Slight warning if you're sensitive to having a very young heroine (underage) fall for a much older love interest (supernatural, so... very old) - he holds back until she is of age, but still a tad cringe.
Recommended if you like your morally grey MMCs, powerful MFCs, a gaggle of fantasy tropes, etc.

I mean Siren b2b Dark Powerful King b2b Wings b2b Magically Binding Bargains????? Come on the concept was speaking to my soul from the get go.
The dual time perspective in each chapter gave me insight, similarly to how a prequel would?? so I could see right when certain moments affected Callie then vs. in the present. I was 50/50 on how I felt about that. It felt like miscommunication, but upon completion I had better perspective & understanding.
Does the dialogue get a little gushy and corny at parts? Yes!! But if liking that’s a crime, cuff me because I ate it up.
I also have an aversion to a blonde MMC- not my type - but Desmond Flynn, there’s a first for everything.
Tropes:
Fantasy/Paranormal Romance
Paranormal & Fae World
Dark Magic Broody Morally Gray MMC
~ WINGS ~
Second Chances
Fated Mates
~ Magic Bargains ~

This one’s for you😈
