Overall the book is quite enjoyable and has a unique take which is honestly harder to come by these days, however I do think it could have been fleshed out more. That being said this was the authors debut novel I believe so I will take that into consideration. At times the book could be all over the place and I found Adam’s family to be very unlikeable. I understand to some extent that much of it was manipulation but still, Robert and their mom just didn’t mesh with me. On the romance front I feel like the author could have built up Adam and Vic’s relationship. Seeing as this was set to be a multiple book series he could have carried it out to at least the 2nd book. I just didn’t really feel the connection between the two minus the very literal connection. Vic seemed more like an afterthought and duty to Adam than anything else, especially as Adam struggled throughout the book with his feelings for Silver. (Which is a whole other icky situation, why a thousands year old elf man was lusting and hooking up with a literal child and is never called out for it just astounding.) Adam should have been at least an adult before anything at all happened between them. I also feel as if the story would have benefited from starting from the beginning and not just telling it from bits and pieces of flashback and information. This book contained a lot of telling and not showing which is one of my least favourite ways to do so. While not perfect the series has potential.
