A new to me author is always fun because it's rare I step out of my little comfort bubble.

This can be read as a standalone but obviously it's book two in a series. Aside from the fact I'm anal about reading in chronological order, there are other characters in this book that played a part in Shiloh getting to this point in life and I feel like that background is important, at least for me so that i can understand her and the choices that were made for the other characters.

Shiloh is independent, sweet and unafraid to stand for herself. I really loved that she wasn't the kind of character that judged based of her emotions in a situation that obviously was out of their control. She was easy to like because she was fair.

Orson was very unexpected. He wasn't the growly alpha I expected. He wasn't social, he had no clue how to read the room or act appropriately around people. Especially strangers. I loved him for this though. He was quirky, very introverted and super cute. He was the first to say sorry or try to fix what he thought he'd broken. Honestly he was just a sweet all rounder.

There was a lot of back and forth between them at first because Shiloh had a bad taste in her mouth from Orson barging in and he just didn't know where he stood with her and her attitude toward him or why he felt all the feelings for this perfect stranger. It was a hot mess of frustration but that soon moved on to some good old slow burn tension and eventually them getting their heads out of their arse long enough to realise what they meant to each other.

This was a solid read for me. I loved the unique twist on shifters and the many different paranormal elements that were woven through the story. Shiloh and Orson had a great deal of character development along side the world building and the plot progression and I feel like it was done very well in a way that nothing felt missed or out of place. I also really enjoyed the side characters, I feel like they slid in perfectly only adding to the story.

This was a first for me from this author but it will not be the last. I need to go back and read book one because honestly it's driving me insane that it was read out of order and my ocd ass cannot cope.
