I did enjoy the other book, which was also released this year, and it was quite an engaging one, but this, on the other hand, felt like the writing regressed.
One thing I noticed in this novel was the characters that I would say were shallow for my taste. They're not really that developed, in my opinion, and lack the qualities of a solid FMC and MMC.
The pairing also lacked the chemistry, and the romance felt too dry for me.
I wasn't really impressed with the plot and thought that it could have been better than how it was in here. It feels really on the surface, and the conflict being resolved was too quick without a good execution.
Overall, I think it could have been really better.
Thank you, author, for the e-arc opportunity.

I always love to read anything vampire and shifter stories. I was pretty excited to read this, especially after the promising premise the novel had.
I I always love to read anything vampire and shifter stories. I was pretty excited to read this, especially after the promising premise the novel had.
I pretty enjoyed the characters here, I would say they were written with depth and quite complex in some ways as well. The struggles the main pairing here was something I would say is alarming and definitely need to be taken with delicate care.
With that being said, the characters definitely are interesting, especially the existing characters from the previous books, which I will be reading soon.
Another thing is that I would have definitely enjoyed this more if the plot is more intricate and also if I had read the previous books.
Nevertheless, it was an okay read for me.

It felt pretty inconsistent, not drawn enough, and just too fast for my liking to the point that I didn't feel the growing development.
I can say I may or may not read the 2nd book— let's see....more
Mmmmmmmm I guess I'll be pretty generous in this one considering this is my first ever alien romance (¿)

I just think that there are potential and plot points that I wish to be delved more, I guess it'll be given more attention in the 2nd book
For fun aspects, I find some parts in this story to be hilarious and, at the same time, just cringy, especially the parts where Rynn and Serena's smutty talk.
Overall, I think this is decent. I'll probably read the 2nd one....more

The writing has improved here compared to the 1st book and the plot is also heavy and progressing. I just felt like the plot felt like stretching way too much and that the developments couldn’t keep up to it?
As for the characters and the romance, I honestly didn’t like Kwil and Theo. I still don’t know what to feel about Viktor. Jonah on the other hand is pretty okay.
Also would like to mention that the twist here is pretty good, honestly didn’t see that coming (?).
The spicy scenes here were kind of overdone and just too much ? It feels like it some of it wasn’t really necessary in my opinion ...more

This book was kind of mind-blowing to me but honestly not in a good way. I think that the story would have been better if it wasn't so dragged out that it feels super lengthy, and as for this one, that did happen.
Overall, this was fun, I did enjoy half of it, it's just that I think this could have been better when it comes to pacing tbh....more
I couldn't wait to get my hands on this intriguing monster romance. So, did it meet my expectations? I'd say you're almost there.
First and foremost, II couldn't wait to get my hands on this intriguing monster romance. So, did it meet my expectations? I'd say you're almost there.
First and foremost, I'm not sure what to make of the writing; while I found it to be quite fast-paced and easy to get into, I'm not sure I'm compelled by the storytelling.
The plot was there, but it wasn't quite solid, especially since the novel didn't provide any details about the problem other than it being a conflict with the plot.
The characters are likable, but my main issue is the lack of chemistry between Jade and Thorin. I tried so hard to root for them, but the novel didn't deliver the romance I was hoping for, and that section felt rushed.
I'd say the side characters are far more interesting to me, particularly Sophie and the other monsters, so I was hoping for a book about them. I also wouldn't forget about the Drakou guy; his name is a little complicated, but I'm intrigued by him.
Overall, I'm satisfied with this. Hopefully, the next one will be better.
I almost forgot about it. So, I finished this one earlier, and I thought the writing was better than in the first book.
I really enjoyed the charactersI almost forgot about it. So, I finished this one earlier, and I thought the writing was better than in the first book.
I really enjoyed the characters and the romance. Brie and Felix are so adorable and at the same time just effortlessly chaotic and funny, most likely due to the situation they are in at the time. They are also so down to earth- caring, which I absolutely adore.
In terms of smut, this book is quite wild, but it was FUN FUN. The pairing's chemistry and dynamics were also excellent.
After much thought and deliberation, I decided to give this a 3 instead of a 4.

Reasons:
1. The main heroine character irritated me and caused me a lot of second-hand embarrassment in the early chapters and along the way, and it's just something that bothers me to be honest.
2. I felt like it was so dragging that I couldn't care about the rest of it because, obviously, I came for the actual smut ...more
