An interesting look at a world where people are divided into boxes and keys. Each one searching for their soulmate in the other.

Rather like many shifter romances, this concept of having a fated one that can be instantly recognizable takes away the uncertainty and the usual burden of determining whether this person is The One or not.

The story itself was cute. The development of the romance was rather erratic and pacing was a bit off, so I felt a little disconnected from the relationship.

Still, it was enjoyable and I quite liked the way Noah, Brandon and Eaton interacted with each other. Also, big props for having Brandon be an untypical MM hero. I love me some bear love.


Great world building!

I loved this book!!! The concept of keys and boxes was fascinating. The only issue I had was how anticlimactic the mystery was when it was solved. It was just sort of over. Overall, it was great, and I’m looking forward to reading more of this author.

I am delighted by some of the underlying ideas, but there are a lot of things that just felt not thought through that just made it fall apart for me.
adventurous emotional mysterious medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

This desperately needed a decent editor and a plot.

There are pages upon pages of prose dedicated to every cup of tea the trio drank and all the pastries they consumed. The mystery felt like it was thrown together as an afterthought and the MCs were all TSTL.
