I really enjoyed this book! I loved the intermingling of shifter romance with witchy vibes and mated betrayal and a murder investigation. I was expecting Rowan to find her mate in this book, so I'm sort of sad that didn't happen, but I'm still holding out hope that a certain someone wasn't actually mated and was tricked…

I loved each little twist as we wove our way through this story. From finding out what Rowan's animal form is, to the friend's death that I did not expect, to the fae element that came in towards the end, to the betrayal that I *might* have seen coming, but was hoping I was wrong about. I really enjoyed this book, and I cannot wait for the next in the series because I need a resolution for my babies!

There were a few things that I questioned while reading, but they didn't necessarily take away from my enjoyment of the story. I did notice quite a few typos while I was reading, but I marked them as I went in case the author would like the feedback, but besides those this would have been a solid 4⭐ read for me. I do feel like I have read very similar stories (but I don't put any of that on the author, I have just read a lot of shifter books), but I loved all of the unique elements here that helped make it its own. All in all, I had a great time reading this book and it held my interest the whole way through!
