I really enjoy how feisty Liz is and how much of a grumpy-cat Raahosh is. Their constant bickering back and forth with one another makes me so amused. I can't wait for the next book. (03/2024) 

4 out of 5 stars

Liz is sassy AF and I love her for her stubborn and mischievous ways. Whilst I don't vibe with some of the early content, with consent being dubious at best, the romance is definitely one for fans of the fated mates, enemies to lovers, forced proximity, and hurt/comfort tropes. Overall an enjoyable, quick read that does a good job of setting the foundation for the series whilst also having plenty of spice.

3.0

I almost read this whole thing in one sitting! I'm so invested in this series and these characters. I loved how hard-headed both characters are and how they come together despite them both being stubborn asses. They're characters that you love on the page but would probably hate in real life (I know I probably wouldn't want to mess with Liz...)

Overall, if anyone liked the first book, definitely keep reading! This series doesn't disappoint.

2.0

Torn between 2 and 2.5. It's not as good as the first one, from the relationship to the plot of the story. 

One of the main reasons Vektal tries to keep Raahosh exiled is because it would encourage others to do the same to other human girls until they're forced to resonate and accept the mate. AND LIZ DISAGREES AS IF THAT'S NOT WHAT HAPPENED TO HER?? SHE GENUINELY HATED RAAHOSH.

All I'm saying is I hate how Liz feels like she's kind of. Forced?? To like him just because his childhood was bad. You don't have to pookie bear. Ughhhh. Ick.
