Okay, well this book was a goddamn delight! A nice mixture of contemporary romance, paranormal, and mystery, this book balanced them all perfectly and delivered such a fun story! I truly did not see Greg's background as a magic-using overseer of shifters and other magical creatures coming. In the series where we met Greg and Cal to begin with, he'd seemed like a really normal, if grumpy, dude. I definitely never suspected there was this whole other side to him. I loved that this book had so many characters from the original series, too. It was fun to see Felix, Craig and Steve again! I think the flow of this book was really great. It was hard to put down, which has been the case for pretty much every Bix Barrow book I've read. I'm super excited to read the next book, as it looks like Ms. Jackson will be one of the main characters, and I am so intrigued by them! They were one of the really fun parts of this book, I thought, and I'm so interested to see if they are able to transform into a living being that can speak. I really loved the relationship development between Steve and Cal. They each had their own hangups and reasons for fighting their bond, but once they actually talked things out with each other, they had an easier time seeing themselves together, which they both knew was inevitable anyway. I enjoyed this book so much, and the unique paranormal twist that we now get to view Bent Oak in is really fun!
