Geez louise.. this book ARC book was tedious the errors made it hard to read. In the first chapter alone I highlighted at least 18 mistakes from grammar to spacing of words. I had to stop. I really wanted to like this book but once you start reading and get into a flow of the story. BAM errors. The author needs to update what country they live in before posting and sending their books, this is not only excuses you have for this clusterfuck of a book. The books chapters were listed inside the book, however they was no individual listing in the kindle column, or at the bottom of the page is would same you have minutes left for a chapter. The ARC copy I received did not give this option it would say you have hrs to read the book which also made it daunting because it was endless.

What I did get from the book was plausible love interest between Marrok and Helena, the story gets confusing because his sisters name is Lana and he refers to Helena as Lana. I did not finish this book and feel that I should have. When reading a book it should not make you reread it over to understand where it is going.

This wasn't a great read. First off, I don't know if it was the copy I was sent but there were a ton of formatting and sentence structuring errors and even a few spelling mistakes. I don't want to hold it against the book because these can be foxed but by the end of the book after happening again and again it definitely was impacting my enjoyment because so many parts made no sense.
Secondly, the weighting was odd in the writing. It felt like the important parts of the book were missing; eg. Hel and Marrok's early conversations that would give the reader a reason to root for them as a couple. And then you had parts that felt overly and unnecessarily verbose. A lot of the parts with Ryder and Ethan etc felt overworked. I understand it is the first in the series and there was a decent amount of world-building required but it was a step further than that where it was almost verging on two unrelating plots in the one book.
Let's end with the good bits! I liked Hel as a protagonist. She was witty and strong. Not my favourite female but certainly no gripes with her and she was fun to read. Similar situation with Marrok. I liked their romance and I did find myself rooting for them despite the lack of anything to really make me want them together. It was definitely very insta-lovesque but that's often the case with shifter/mate books so I don't hold it against it. The general premise of the plot was a fun idea but I feel that it was executed poorly. And I think that sums up the book as a whole really, good idea but missed the mark.
