I have never loved a series in it’s entirety until I read this series. Words cannot express how much I loved these books. We Hunt the Flame and We Free the Stars will have my heart always.

Xeni on her own is funny. Mason on his own is funny. But the two of them together? Absolutely hilarious. They had the most natural chemistry I’ve ever seen between two character. I was also delightfully surprised that both MCs are

bisexual; rarely do you ever seen a bisexual male lead

and that our leading man Mason was plus sized. That kind of rep is really lacking, especially in romance so I was really happy about that. This was a really enjoyable read and I wholeheartedly recommend it.
