I love a wolf shifter story. This one was so good. I loved the twist to the shifter lore. C K Rider creating someone different. The Aura or halo was a really inspired storyline.
I really enjoyed the Army aspect. All fantasy/Romantasy have an aspect of military and war storyline but they have more of a medieval type feel to them. This is the first book that I have read that includes a modern day Military/Army storyline. I found that really refreshing.
I always love a found family trope. The family you have chosen for yourself. I'm an absolute sucker for it.
Our FMC, Cassie, is sassy, strong and a natural born leader, which makes sense as she is a Sargent in the Army, commands a platoon and is one of only a few females in the forces. These skills make even more sense when she finds out who she truly is.
The MMC, Bryce, her mate, yep! I'm here for him. Don't mind if I do. I love that strong, loyal, connected, protective, mind communication bond. Swoon.
But my favourite character is Wigler. Protective younger brother vibes, loyal and mainly chill. I love how excited he is to discover this new world that they have entered. He is so open to it and like a kid at Disneyland. It's infectious.
Add to that a villian who is kinda like a vampire (although vampires are mentioned later In the book, so he isn't one of them.) who feeds on life-force and halos are the ultimate high, witches, fairies, a castle and I'm completely sold.
I adored this book. It finished on a cliff hanger and the blurb for book 2 sounds AMAZING. I cannot wait!
Great debut novel!
