Representation: Heroine of colour, Asian supporting character, Bisexual side character
A steamy paranormal romance that perfectly balances hilarious banter with emotional character development. The Heroine is awesomely self-aware and confident; she stands up for herself without tilting into the 'not like other girls' trope. The second chance romance provided some riveting angst but also contributed to the lack of a 5-star rating.
