Why did it take me so long to start this series!

I started with this book because when I went to sign up for NetGalley, I found I had an account already. This book had been requested. I had zero issues following along with the story. Some things may be richer if I had read the prior books. That said, I wasn't lost or unable to enjoy the romance. Carys and Rune were easy characters to love and root for. His self-loathing and her devotion were quiet believable.

Now I'm off to start collecting and reading the earlier books.

So incredibly good! I received an ARC of this book when it first came out a couple years ago. My life went into complete turmoil so I wasn't able to read it at the time. I've decided this year to catch up on the few ARCs from back then. I'm so glad I did!

I loved the characters and the writing style! I didn't know at the time that it was part of a series, but this was a great introduction into Midnight Breed. I have since gone back and been listening to the audible versions. I'm almost done with book 2 and I'm so obsessed with this series now!

Special thanks to Lara Adrian and the publisher for sending me this ARC. I wish I had gotten it back on time, but I'm making up for it now.
