<b>Highlights:</b>
I've never seen a unicorn in a monster romance before so this really called to me. The world-building with the different creatures and magic was the best part. Eliph was also an amazingly sweet and understanding male lead and I liked him a lot.

<b>Lowlights:</b>
I both liked and disliked the unicorn lore. Fated mates is okay for me but the other option being death is what I don't like. Steph's personality left much to be desired. She was very stubborn and brash and a bit unlikable. I also found the plot itself to be very slow.

<b>Horn Level:</b> 3/5🦄

<b>The Rating</b>
I give this book a <b>2/5🌟 rating.</b> While I usually love monster romances, this one lacked a romance strong enough to look over the slow plot and frustrating female lead.
