A lovely urban fantasy read with a diversity of 'creatures'.

It starts off a bit slow with the main focus on our FMC in the business world but Kristen did an amazing job creating a good setting to get to know the characters before fully diving into the supernatural mystery and action. 

This story has many loveable characters, including 1 amazing talking Corgi called Argo. Love the vibe he adds to the story! The conversations between Argo and Alex are almost always funny and cute.  

I found it very interesting to read about Alex and Lucas, their connection and lust for each other. Really great tension and spice. I especially enjoyed the random forest scene and their meeting after their business trip, hihi.

Both Alex and Lucas are very intruiging characters and I loved reading the traumatic backstory of Lucas.

I also really enjoyed how Kristen wove in the mystery throughout the story and managed to give us little bits of information now and then in a clear and understandable way.

The action with Alex's 'transformation' in the end really captivated me. I can not wait to read more of this in the 2nd book. 

Thankyou for your beautiful book!
