***3.5 Stars***
I have nothing against shirtless men on covers, but I think this cover is absolutely beautiful and engaging! I was also intrigued by the premise and was in the mood for more grit and heat than the cozy paranormal mysteries I’ve read recently. I developed high expectations for this novel and it did deliver…in part.
First, the good – I liked Miriam (female MC), but my interest stayed fixated on the mysterious Quentin (male MC). The world building was explained slowly with a lot left for future books which works for me. The plot/ premise did deliver with some intensity and fun.
Next, the not so good – with the man on the cover and the subtitle, I expected to get Quentin’s POV. You don’t. Also, as it’s in first person, there’s more internal (even discarding special abilities) than dialogue and action. I’m an impatient reading and found myself skimming in between dialogue points.
Still though, there was enough fun in both premise, characters, and romantic subplot for me to continue this series. However, I do hope future books contain Quentin’s POV!!
