Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC. I really enjoyed this book. I liked our FMC, Sariyah, and the concept of her and this instinct to feel and hear someone’s needs. I think Chanelle did a great job of showing us how cumbersome it probably is for her having to deal with hearing things from so many people and feeling like she had to fulfill their need to relieve herself, just for it to be replaced with more needs, and the guilt it made her feel in having to always put other needs before her own. I didn’t expect some of the twists throughout. And I think the reason behind what happened does make a lot of sense from an anger standpoint and grief standpoint, I just don’t agree with how it was executed. However the point definitely hit home. I think this is a powerful read for all ages.

Received this as an ARC from Miss Briyanna Michelle herself, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was fast paced, kinky and sexy. I loved the banter between the two MCs and their fated mate attraction. Hopefully this will continue into a novel or another novella. This is my first by Briyanna Michelle but it won’t be my last!
