I enjoyed the slight mystery throughout with Brielle’s scenes cut in. I love how the world through the different series are slightly connected. Only real issue was the romance seemed a little quick. I understand they knew each other and were friends once upon a time, but I needed to slow down. Just a bit.

It just kind of felt like Mari and Zachary’s love story was rushed despite them knowing each other for so long? The mystery part of the book was really dark and almost uncomfortable to read but I’m really rooting for Brielle’s character and hope she gets a book of her own.

the twist was predictable and the characters were okay, nothing i'd re-read or anything.

love Zachary and Marigold's interactions, but it felt very insta-lovey to a certain degree. i get that they've known each other forever but still, kinda rushed for me idk

Marigold has had a crush on her best friend's brother, Zachary, for a long time. Zachary always had a thing for her too but he ignored it and avoided her. A literal shock makes him realize he needs to tell her how he feels before its too late. But she's dating Preston, who has some secrets of his own.

Zachary has always been the troublemaker of the Haven's so I enjoyed seeing him realize his true feelings and fight for his girl - literally. This has some suspense throughout it but for once you know who the bad guy is! It kept me intrigued. I did feel like it overshadowed the romance plot a little bit though. I didn't quite feel the chemistry between Zachary and Marigold but I did enjoy how sweet he was to her when she was finally his. I love Claire's storytelling. I'm looking forward to finding out which Haven is next to get his HEA.

Trigger warning: Definitely some sex trafficking talk so just beware.

I swear every time I read one of Claire’s books I am so engrossed and get sucked in so fast! Her style of writing just captivates you!

Oh Zachary! You sweet sweet man. A literal shock gave him his wake up call. And it’s Marigold. The twist and turns kept me on my toes. The emotions were hitting. And the antics of being in Tilikum. I wish I could go there!
