5.0
TW: death of a sibling, physical violence, consensual sexual situations, substance abuse.
Diversity: characters with diverse physical appearances (vitiligo, POC), thick girl addoration, polyamory, queer love
"The only thing dumber than convincing the imminent Male Alpha of Velm to help me find Oko would be falling in love with him along the way."
Helisent West of Jaw is one of the last, or possibly the last, red witch with a questionable relationship with brandy. Her power is unmatched and she's looking for Oko to avenger her sister.
Samson 714 Afador is a wolf, and not just any wolf, the next Male Alpha of Velm. Being seen with a witch causes others to question his authority. Samson would also like to find Oko so he can learn about his mother's disappearance.
Can the unlikely pair work together? Helisent doesn't trust and she's cunning, Samson is skeptical of magic and doesn't trust witches. Will one betray the other?
This is the type of fantasy I love. The world building is amazing. As with most fantasy books it can be difficult in the beginning, but once the world building is complete, the plot takes over and it's hard to put down.
There's some spice towards the end with descriptive on-page s3x.
I love reading as the pair learn about the other's cultures and adapt to try to work together. But will they continue to keep secrets from each other or will they share the secrets to reach a common goal?
I can't wait for book 2.
