New author to me. Solid writing. Decent world building. Intriguing. But because I'm a picky reader it wasn't even a 3 star read for me.
It had all the usual moving parts and like I mentioned above it was intriguing. Tons of potential. I think my biggest issue with the book was the length. Because the book wasn't as long as most paranormal books it suffered from feeling too fast paced. We didn't get much action going on because of this. And I suppose it messed with the MCs relationship progression a bit too.
I wasn't really feeling the mate bond between Markus and Lara. They were cute...well Markus was cute. Lara was simply ok. She pulled the usual role in these tropes and suddenly becomes the stubborn refuses to be left being female and quasi leader for her humans. Expected? Yes. Was it a good look on her? Eh, not really.
Markus as I said was quite cute with his thoughts and preening for her. Truthfully he was just TOO nice for my personal tastes. So polite and respectful. Meh, I expected more edginess with the mate bond playing a part but it wasn't there. And while his backstory had some sad angsty tidbits due to the pacing of the story I didn't FEEL anything when it was revealed. Just learning facts.
