“Nothing like a bunch of chaotic supernatural misfits becoming your emotional support squad”
Okay, I totally get the hype now. This book comes in hot—like, way spicier than your standard paranormal romance, so fair warning: you’re not just dipping your toes into heat, you’re swan-diving into the fire.
The storyline itself was super fun, but let’s be real—the romance is absolutely the main event, and I wasn’t mad about it. The chemistry? Off the charts. The tension? Delicious. The payoff? Worth every page.
I loved the found family vibe, too. Nothing like a bunch of chaotic supernatural misfits becoming your emotional support squad. And the family drama? Oh, it’s messy on both sides. Generational trauma and petty grievances mixed with magic—peak entertainment.
And can we talk about the why-choose trope? Truly unmatched. Why pick one when you can have the whole supernatural buffet?
Overall: spicy, dramatic, addictive. I devoured it.
