I think readers who are afraid of stepping into Fantasy romance will enjoy this. I think the ending was interesting and I plan to continue. Narrators Avery Reid and Aiden Snow did a great job. Their POV's were pretty split 50/50. I received this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this unbiased review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

This is the first book I've read by Gina L. Maxwell. Fantasy/Paranormal/Sci-Fi is not my normal romance trope to read, but I'm so glad I picked it up. I think I was intrigued by the cover, then the blurb sounded good, so I took a leap. Caiden and Bryn's story kept me spellbound. I couldn't help being so invested in the characters. It was steamy and emotional. There seems to be an overall scenario to follow through the series, but we get a great HEA of the couple. We also get a glimpse of what's coming next!! I hope we'll see more of Caiden and Bryn in future books as I still have questions regarding Bryn. If only it was longer. Excellent read! Thank you NetGalley and Entangled Publishing for the ARC of this book. This is my voluntary and honest review.
