What a lovely start to this new series.  This is a pretty quick read but it is filled with so much heart and wonderful characters.  The beginning is perfectly bittersweet, I was really feeling for Quin.  He doesn’t share his brothers excitement over turning eighteen and venturing out into the world.  Quin loves their small life with their moms, so saying goodbye to his brothers is hard for him.  I loved his strength in knowing the kind of life he wanted though and in taking a such a bold chance with Slade.  I was rooting for them even knowing Slade feels like a risky choice for Quin, he’s focused on getting his brother safe.  My favorite thing was that book is filled with characters that are trying to do right by the people they love and that’s pretty amazing.  I adored the raccoon culture so much, there is so much love in Quinn’s big extended family.  Slade, Quin, and Chime have a really special story to tell.  I loved this one a lot, can’t wait for the next book.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book
