Thank you so much to Emily Reno Hawthorne and NetGalley for this audiobook. This book was something else. It was so unique yet with familiar elements. I loved that it was a shifter story, but done in a way that I’ve never seen before. I loved how Hawthorne wove bits and pieces of Chinese mythology throughout.

There were multiple POVs in this story AND in different time periods. At times it was a tad hard to follow, but once you get the flow of it, it all starts to make sense. Watching the evolution of Davies and Iris was wild.

I appreciated the complex relationships that develop throughout the story with families and friends. It brings a different tone to the story than the vast majority of other stories that focus so heavily on romance. It was a breath of fresh air!

I highly recommend this book. It’s such a unique story and was written in such a creative way. I’m definitely looking forward to the second book!
