honestly, i couldn’t remember reading this book at all. but while rereading it, i realized that it’s actually so good!! at least i had a great time reading it.
it had a potential to be a five-star read, but there was an aspect that i was 50/50 about.
i also realized that i really like reading romance with a trope that is “a funny girl meets an almost animal like man and they can’t communicate, but she’s always yapping nevertheless, and he helps her to survive in a harsh environment” in a fantasy/paranormal setting.
what i didn’t like is the part where carrow has to prove malkom that she wouldn’t betray him. i mean yeah, she lead him to a trap, but she had a good reason and he realized it later. but constantly telling her she had to prove she didn’t lie and at the end being like “ok, well now i trust you” gave me the ick.
i meeean, malkom has his traumas and reasons not to trust her again, BUT SHE ALSO HAS HER TRAUMA and a really good reason for her actions. so idk, i just didn’t appreciate how this issue was (or wasn’t) resolved.
