I have to say, I thought this was a perfectly fine short little interlude of a read. Nothing overly angsty, nothing overly drawn out. A novella that was sexy, interesting, and just what I needed for a short reading span.

While on one hand, I always find it difficult to believe the friends to lovers tropes where they have been best friends forever and never realized they were in love with each other, I also love reading those tropes. I can't imagine being as close as they say they are and not seeing the signs. Yet that butterfly excitement of the truth coming out is sexy as hell so I read and enjoy them anyways.

The shifting aspect was appropriately magical, and the overarching pack politics were well simplified and contained to accommodate this novella's short length. Just a taste, but it was just enough.
