I love the idea of fated mates, but never have I read one between a literal god & a werewolf <3 

One of the things I loved about the FMC (Haera) was her vulnerability. Despite her traumaโ€“dealing with her father's death & her ex-alpha's (Zyadon) assaultโ€“she opened up to her mate (Theos) and it was so commendable. I often read a lot of books where FMCs would shut down or bottle up their emotions (which I understand, everyone deals with grief and pain in different ways) but it was so refreshing to see someone share their troubles with someone they care about.
And I love the complete transformation in her demeanor when she's in her wolf form! A total badass!

Theos was a complex character imo (but what deity isn't lol). At first I was a bit annoyed with how he treated his little brothers, Kheos (The Fates) & Regos (Death) in the beginning. But through Haera he was able to change his ways and form a better relationship with them ๐Ÿคง then I was like okay ๐Ÿ‘€ loving this improvement for you.

LISTEN I had a HUGE SOFT SPOT for Kheos since he was first introduced! and his relationship with Haera (who he CREATED!) warmed my heart ๐Ÿฅบ he deserves all the love okay.

Oh! & I absolutely loved the terms of endearment Theos gave Haera: little mate of mine, little star โญ 

One of my favorite parts was when Zyadon & her ex-bff (Alanis) got what they deserved ๐Ÿ˜Œ I could NOT believe Alanis would betray her like that smh

The spice was a 4 ๐ŸŒถ๏ธ If you like dirty talk then you'll love the mouth on Theos ๐Ÿ˜
