In This Iron Ground by Marina Vivancos

So this was just so lovely. Wonderful found family, gorgeous writing, and satisfying yet heartbreaking character arcs.

I think first and foremost this is more of a character study than a romance. The romance between Hakan and Damian is lovely don't get me wrong, but truly this was more about Damien unpacking his trauma and learning that he is worthy of the love from those who care for him. It was a hard journey to read, but also very much worth it.

Also, I really like this take on werewolves, but at times the worldbuilding building felt a little clunky, and I wish we got to explore more of the land of the Salgado pack. I felt weirdly detached from the setting, and I wish it were a little more grounded.

I really loved this one, and I think if you are a fan of the Green Creek series, you might really like this one too.
