I think this is a strong start to the series. I did predict part of the ending (the sister) while reading the book but I still enjoyed it. I definitely see Singard’s possessiveness with Wren but I didn’t see that passion or chemistry from him behind it for quite a while. It did fall flat in spots as he didn’t open up to her until right at the end. The spicy scenes definitely paid off but see the trigger warning at the front of the book. Singard’s past does make me sad for him and Wren did sum it up really well as he was a product of abuse too. Wren is a powerful FMC who is trying to trust herself not to fall into bloodlust as well as trying not to fall into Singard. I’m excited to see where the series goes from here!!
