This book was full of so many ups and downs. I enjoyed every minute of reading it and being a part of Tessa and Corey’s lives. I will say that I have never cried more while reading a book so please take any trigger warnings seriously! It is an amazing, thought provoking story with the perfect ending.

I really enjoyed the overall concept of a safari lodge and how it uses the deeper topics that was going on in this world and characters. I was invested in what was going on and enjoyed the overall element to this journey. Lisa Felkins has a strong writing style and had that element that I was looking for and was glad I read this. It was emotional and thought the overall concept was what I wanted and how the characters were used in this.
