I loved this book! There was definitely some darkness to it, and I recommend checking the trigger/content warnings before reading, but this story was so good! As with every Chloe Archer book I've read, the cast of characters is what really makes this story shine. From the main characters to the supporting characters and the tiny dragon companion, each character in this book had so much depth and just added to the story so much. Our main characters, Griffin and Shae were so much fun to watch fall in love. Griff was such a huge support to Shae when he needed it the most, helping him stay calm with his magic and staying loyally by his side while Shae dealt with the aftermath of the awful circumstances he'd just escaped. Shae had such a fighting spirit, and his journey throughout this book to heal, to bond with Griff, to fight to free any Otherkind that were being held captive like he was, made me feel like I was right there rooting him on, too. After all of the awful things that happened to him, no one deserved the happiness he found more. I'm hoping that the side characters in this book will eventually get their own books, too, because I would definitely read every single one of them!
