This was a fun and easy read. Good for beginners who have thought about getting into romantasy. 

I love Raewyn, the FMC. She's a bit of a stubborn one! I found her to be pretty relatable and rounded character. And my goodness, did she find herself in quite a pickle.

Now, as far as Stellon goes, let me just say I really do love this man. Fae. Elf. All the above. Normally, my go to MMC is a morally grey one. But I do still love a golden retriever MMC every niw and then as well and Stellon fits the bill. Don't get me wrong, he does have some flaws, but who doesn't? He's sweet. Kind. Attentive. He's a gem and I'm rooting for the relationship between him and Raewyn. I hope they will have a happily ever after by the end of the series. The books ends on a cliffhanger so everything is all up in the air at this point. My stomach dropped a little over that ending.

I will say though, there were quite a few times where my mind would wander to her family. Like they must be worried sick over her absence! 

Overall, I did enjoy the book. It had some of the tropes I love and I'm excited for when book 2 comes out! I'd love to see where this story goes.
