4.5 ⭐️ rounded up
I stumbled across this book while browsing through the books available to download in the Pride section of Overdrive. I’d never heard of it but thought it sounded interesting enough and I’m so glad I decided to check it out.

I really enjoyed the magic of this book and fell in love with both Rafe and Jeremy from the beginning. I really enjoyed the Storyteller’s chapters, as I’m a sucker for a narrator.

The one thing I will note is that even though the characters are adults (for the majority of the book), the book itself is very YA. The character of Emilie came off to me as younger than I anticipated. I struggled with her character, especially early on, but as the book went on I grew to appreciate her more. ]]> Rating868131576 Sun, 15 Jun 2025 22:23:37 -0700 <![CDATA[Nan liked a readstatus]]> /

Wooo! Another super cozy fantasy romance by Aurora Winters that I absolutely ate up. I might even like this one a little better than the first one in this series. I really loved both Susara and Caivid. They were super likable characters and I really enjoyed their chemistry (they were just so sweet together 🥹). This book had nice tie-ins to the first of the series but I don’t think you need to read them in order to enjoy the story as the two stories kind of run side-by-side so there are overlapping events that kind of unfold simultaneously. Overall a low angst, cozy read with some yummy spice.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Isaac and Colton were both written so well. Their story was captivating and had me invested from start to finish. Their prior history was heavy but written with care, and seeing them navigate the trajectory of their relationship was addicting. Check triggers if you need, but overall a great read.
