This was an interesting story, but I had a hard time getting into it, dealing with the semi slow burn, and the general vagueness of the monster aspect. 

The enemies to lovers started off strong-they really seemed to hate each other-but I couldn't really feel the romance by the end. This is the first fated mates scenario I've read that followed this particular guideline and...it just seemed like it wasn't fully worked out.

I didn't understand how we went from the FMC refusing the MMC in one sentence to giving in ecstatically. It just didn't make sense. And this was at the very end the book. For me, these feelings should have already been worked out.

 

I wanted more monsters on page and more answers for the end of the book. It felt like I was left somewhat hanging, with questions still. While I did enjoy the writing style, I was surprised how slow the book felt for a novella. Especially one that is supposed to be charged with the passions of enemies to lovers.
