I haven't read such a good romance book in a very, very long time! It was exciting from the first page and continued throughout the entire book! The plot twists were just incredible. The author managed to build the relationship between Darien and Loren incredibly well, it was so incredibly nice to be able to experience that with both of them. Darien puts all bookboyfriends to shame so far, I love him! So if you don't read this series, what else are you doing?!

Habe das Buch nach 10% abgebrochen - 2 Sterne sind für das mögliche Potential, was ich damit nicht mitbekomme. Die Bewertungen u.a. auf Amazon oder Instagram hörten sich vielversprechend an, aber Loren ist so eine dumme Nuss, die garantiert auch keine große Entwicklung durchmacht- das wollte ich nicht aushalten. Sie ist natürlich super hübsch mit schlanker Figur, großen blauen Augen, hüftlangen blonden Haaren und immer in kurzen Klamotten und High Heels unterwegs. Dabei stolpert sie gern mal, muss beschützt werden, trifft ziemlich infantile Entscheidungen und ist so inhärent GUT, dass sogar ihre Aura weiß mit Regenbogen ist 💫 Der MMC ist natürlich groß, dark, muskulös und schleppt irgendein Trauma mit sich, was er mit Untergrundkämpfen und casual sex zu verstecken versucht. Ist ja klar, dass er nur auf Loren wartet. Dementsprechend - nee danke. XD

Puh. That book was way too long and I hated the FMC. Sure she’s a nice young women but man there are NO layers. And she is a huge damsel and that’s just not my type of FMCs. I am sorry but no. Then she’s depicted as “so pretty but I doesn’t see it” - this whining and “oh I’m the poor orphan girl- l am a nobody and so clumsy” - made me want throw up. The MMC is far more interesting and has some layers but he is a walking cliché The world building started out interesting and then the author lost me quite quickly. Maybe it’s because I’m not a fan of urban fantasy’s but it all felt so stereotypical. The love drama between our main characters was forced and sorry you can’t use a phone call EVERY damn time they want to do it - this was just not natural and had no suspense - it was just freaking annoying. The pacing is off too and there is always: two weeks later phrases I really did not like. I mean that book has nearly 800pages… I think a lot of people like this series but I won’t continue and there’s no recommendation from me.

goddamnit that was a rollercoaster of the best kind. This reminded me again why I love fantasy. The world and lore in this is so exciting and intriguing and I’m eager to see more of this world and learn more with the continuation of the series! This book is extremely exciting and keeps you on your toes with plot twists and turns on every corner, whilst simultaneously providing you with all the feelings and emotions and character developments that make you fall in love with the entire cast. You go on an emotional rollercoaster, following our leads Loren and Darien on their supernatural investigation and solving of mysteries. Those two are among my favorite fantasy couples. They have instant attraction but still keep us waiting with high tension, teasing and banter of the delicious kind. And eventually you get a spicy reward for all the pages they kept you rooting and screaming for them to finally give into their attraction and growing feelings. Damien? argh he’s a hot one. A very hot one. I’m in love. But the rest of the characters is great too! You get found family and such a fun and making you feel good cast. I’m praying we’ll get some more povs in the future! I also want to give some praise to the incredibly addictive and captivating writing of this book. It grips you from the very first page. Extremely well written and amazing storytelling! I saw some people criticize the similarity to crescent city. I haven’t read any urban fantasies despite Crescent City, but I think it’s just the vibe urban fantasies all have in common. Just like many high fantasies have similar worlds and vibes…. From a plot and character point the two books are completely different! But: if you enjoyed and liked crescent city, you’re going to love this series!! You’re in for a intriguing and exciting read with amazing characters. I seriously can’t pin point one single bad thing in this book. This was written for every urban fantasy fan out there and for all of us romance addicts. You get both in this book. 5
