DID NOT FINISH

Not in the mood for it right at the moment

There is not a Single book that I have read by Wendi that I haven’t fallen in love with and this book was no different.

They just know how to write the perfect amount to sad/conflicted backstory with sweet and humorous meet cutes

4.0 🌶

I really liked this book and the journey they took together! I felt like the majority of the book was evenly paced and well written. The side characters were just as interesting as the main.

I just thought the last chapter wasn't necessary. I definitely read as an epilogue to the book, which I usually love, but now I want to see the second adventure they go on. That chapter could have been a cute start to a novella.

This was better than expected.

Zhuliya lives in USA but her parents are original from Russia. Zhuliya wins a contest where she will get an tattoo from the famous monster Ilian.
Ilian is gone for the human the moment she steps into his tattoo shop in Russia. He smells her and knows he needs to imprint on her.

But he does it without her consent, and with a tattoo on her back.
(would be a red flag normally, but hey. that's why we read these books).

Now Zhuliya and Ilian has to go on a mission to removed their mating-link.
Do they actually want to be imprinted on each other? Maybe they do, maybe they don't.

I loved the spice in this book. I read some new things that was wtf. But it made sense for the couple. No shaming here! I really enjoyed their spicy scenes together, they are attracted to each other a lot.

The worldbuilding was really good in my opinion. I loved all the places their journey took them. The fantasy aspect in this was really good!

Nothing more, nothing less. 

3/5 stars.
