5.0

Surprisingly enjoyed this book more the I expected since I have a fear of the Ocean and large bodies of water. It helped that Catalina was super relatable, sadly given our shared baggage, also that Thane was hot.

The story was full of comedic moments and enough heat to create its own hot spring. As a Non-Binary person I absolutely love Ramanu with their pronouns, then the introduction of Embry and the Ze/Zir pronouns was amazing! Katee Robert is very quickly becoming a new favourite of mine because her world is just full of LGBTQ+ Love!!

Another thing I’m truly enjoying bout this series is how the author creates these characters that have truely reached a point where a demon deal is potentially the only way out, they have baggage and the creatures have baggage, it definitely helps make the characters more relatable and real. Most importantly the characters meet their respective partners but it’s not treated like a “fix it all” situation, they still have baggage and are actively working through that.

Can’t wait to pick up the next book!!
