Even in such a short read, Nascosta is incredibly talented at painting us vivid characters and stories with incredible detail. Warm and fuzzy, sexy and steamy, and heartfelt as two wandering souls find each other. Ladybug is adorable and living my witchy dreams, and Anzan is reverent and respectful. Reading them leave each other presents was so wholesome and sweet. Loved the references to other Cambric Creek universe characters, like Merrick and the Hemmings. I look forward to the next installment!...more

This is like NA fantasy in wholesome, sweet rom-com form (but way less cheesy). I really love the interspecies world Nascosta has created in the town This is like NA fantasy in wholesome, sweet rom-com form (but way less cheesy). I really love the interspecies world Nascosta has created in the town of Cambric Creek where humans, Minotaurs, vampires, goblins, elves, fae, orcs, and all other sorts of fantastical creatures reside.
