This is my very first paranormal romance (that I know of) and I could say that I had a jolly good time reading it. This has taken me longer before getting into the story, which I think is understandable since this is the first book, in a new world and unfamiliar genre. So, as a noob in the subgenre, I am no master of what overused tropes are in this, and I think this contributed to my enjoyment since I'm not that jaded (yet) with the first stories I'm sampling. If you are a beginner like me, this book and series can be your gateway for the PNR genre since I'm getting much interested in trying out other works after reading this. Once I got and know the simple rules and basics in this new world, it was very simplistic, to be honest, in that it is not that complicated like I see other high fantasy books out there but still very enjoyable. I loved the characters so much, I am attached to them now and am looking forward to reading the next books and couples. However, I'm a little bit hesitant in ending this first book because I really loved this couple and I feel sad parting ways with them. I just hope that we're still given updates, cameos, or appearances in the next book. 

As for the actual story itself, I did not bother trying to guess what plot twist there is or what the explanation to the mystery behind Sascha, because I was just in it for the ride baby! haha. I just wanted my time reading this to be enjoyable as possible, so no need to get so analytic. The villain and some plot twists were somehow predictable but that did not hinder my enjoyment either.
