At the age of 13, Rennick is whispered the name of his mate, "Amelia". He will stop at nothing to keep her protected and make her his wife.

This book is exactly what it claims to be: a fun ride. The author isn't out to create a literary masterpiece, they say so themselves in the opening of the book. So, take it for what it is. A fast paced, fun, romance focused book.  Yes, there was little plot, but I thought the world and the abilities granted to each group was really interesting. Of course, I would have loved a little more world building. 

You need to put reality aside, this is a fantasy after all. After discovering his mate is in the human world, he begins to send him letters. He is unable to leave his kingdom until he is 25 years old. He is obsessed and counting down the days until he can get her. Meanwhile Amelia is living in an orphanage in the human world. She is unsure what to think about "Nick's" letters. 

I did like that there were a few fun plot twists.
Amelia isn't actually a human. She is the twin of the Spring kingdom king. She was brought to the human world to hide her from her father who would have killed her. Eddy was his familiar sent to keep watch over her (adorable). Her friend Fawn ended up being another kings mate.
