I loved how this romance stepped away from most stereotypical shifter tropes!

Content warnings include: amnesia, murder, blackmail, gunfight, characters get shot, sex on-page; mentions of drowning.

The whole amnesia plot was handled well and dominated most of the book. It wasn't all that stand out to me, but I loved all the little details around the setting: the company Nassim and Aidan work for, the bits of mythos (=shifter) politics that came through and the different kinds of mythos that appeared.

I would have liked the book to be longer in pretty much all parts. More about the side characters, more about what's going on in the background. The one thing I would have liked to be a bit shorter was the length it took for Aidan to find out anything about his life. It wasn't that it got boring or frustrating because the rest is pleasant and diverting, but a few more hints and a gradual build would have been nice.

It's technically second in a series but can absolutely be read as a standalone.

Overall a very pleasant read for in between.

I received an ARC and reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
