I thought long and hard, but I couldn't think of any reason not to give this book 5 stars! Kingfisher knocks it out of the park with an interesting premise, likeable and funnily awkward leads, heartwarming support and compassion for people going through touch situations, and laugh out loud moments. I couldn't stop thinking about the book when I went to bed.

I somehow missed this book was a romance, but the author does a great job of balancing it with the plot. Unlike a lot of other romantic mysteries, I felt like both played a role in the resolution of the story and the romance did not dominate. And despite it being a "fluffy" romance where boy and girl are very attracted to one another from the start, there are also some horror/dark fantasy elements. I really look forward to seeing how the rest of the paladins fare in their adventures and romantic exploits.
