Second Nature by Jae
5.0
I'm very late to this party, but since Jae gave away this book so us [not into paranormal/supernatural] could get a taste of it, I tried and I'm gonna say, gurrrrl, this still isn't my cup of tea and I'm still reticent, but I was hooked! I'm definitely buying the sequel. I gotta say, however, if I stumble into something [well] written by someone like Jae I may give it a try without prejudice hehehe.
So, about the story, it was interesting, the plot was cool, actually the word that fit best here is thrilling and the way we get to slowly build a rapport with both MCs and them with each other for half of the book made it even better, IMHO. No instalust [which I love too], a very nice slow burn with the romance not being the centre of the story [that's my take if you disagree, suck it]. I'm no shapeshifter, although my wardrobe would slight disagree, but I found very easy to empathize with Griffin and cheer for her and her human mate.
The only downside for me is that I'm sort of a men hater in books that I'm reading mainly for the sapphic romance [even if it takes a back sit with such a plot development] and there is a health presence of male here, which makes sense and added positively to the story.
Also, I wish we had EVEN MORE time with the MCs as a couple, to have the opportunity to sneak peek in more detail the quirks of their relationship. I'm greedy. But seeing that there are a few short stories as sequels appeases my needy self.
