Cutting Your Teeth
by Caylan MacRae
4/5 Stars!
Cutting Your Teeth was gripping right from the beginning. We follow Ezra, a man running from his past and right into whatever gets his blood pumping just long enough to feel alive. When he happens upon Killian, a smart-mouthed fighter with more than a little bloodlust and a surprisingly soft heart, his already topsy-turvy lifestyle gets thrown into even more chaos.
Listen. Listen. Listen. We know I'm ridiculous for the found family trope. I love it so much it hurts, and this book totally hits on those feels in the best way. The romance was lovely and angsty and hot in turn and I definitely loved that, but the genuine connections between the characters really made this story for me. I've been dying for an urban paranormal story that didn't immediately rely on smut or overused tropes (not that those are bad things in themselves). This was the perfect scratch to that itch.
Killian and Ezra were beautiful and so sad in parts, I think that the foundation for them is still just being laid out and I really would love to read more about them and this universe. There is a lot more going on than meets the eye here and I'd love to delve even further into Killian, Marigold, and Ezra's backgrounds. Which, YAY, because this is the first of a series! If the other books hit these marks just as well I'll be in line for them asap.
*My thanks to Netgalley and the author for gifting me with this ARC in exchange for my honest review.
