As this was my first foray into monster romance, I didn’t really know what to expect, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. There’s surprisingly intricate, rather fascinating world-building, as well as Katee’s trademark fierce girl protagonist and a romance that’s delightful both including and beyond the spice. Briar and Sol had slight “Persephone and Hades in Neon Gods” vibes, which was a nice touch since that’s one of my absolute favorite Katee books.
I loved Briar’s character development, and especially cheered her on when she confronted Azazel—that was COMPLETELY iconic of her. I’m happy that she and Sol are happy, and I can’t wait to read the rest of the series; from what little I’ve seen of the other characters, their stories are going to be just as entertaining.
