I wasn't aware going into it that it had the "fated mates" wolf shifter stuff in it, which almost made me put it down. I don't really care for the possessiveness/obsession that's prevalent in the trope, but it wasn't as toxic as others I've come across. The growling/howling/referring to the wolf in them got old really fast, but, again, the wolf/shifter stuff isn't really my cup of tea.

 The characters grew on me, especially after the main character met Ora, and I wound up enjoying the book more than I anticipated. I definitely enjoyed the second half of the book far more than I did the first half, and I enjoyed the queer representation.
