Welcome back everyone, I hope you enjoyed Monday’s review and the Wrap Up post yesterday. Moving into March I will be winding down on these reviews on Friday’s as I move back into my series reviews.

So, I thought it would be lovely to finish off my string of Friday reviews with one shared to me through the book blogging community.

Writing Style

Zoe’s writing style was really engaging and pretty much had me hooked right from the get go. I don’t know if I was due for a paranormal romance fix or not. But I certainly finished the book needing more.

I wanted to know what happened between Jason and Emilia. I wanted to know if Emilia’s goal was realised. And if it was, how’d it go? How long did it take? What impact did it have?

And I wanted to know the story behind the big secret of the book.

Am I looking forward to reading more of Zoe’s books to get even more drawn in? You betcha!

Initial Thoughts

Initially I was a little confused about what was happening because it’d been a while, with a lot of other books read in between, since reading the blurb. I knew it was a shifter story, with a wolf and a bear. But I couldn’t remember anything more than that.

So, having a girl at a club get practically attacked by some random guy. And then have another hot random guy save her felt weird.

Then to have the hot guy sniff Emilia when she has no idea what he’s talking about when he’s asking for her SANA ID feels weird.

For some reason, going into this I thought Emilia knew she was a shifter. So, her not knowing confused me a bit. How was this going to play out if she didn’t even know she was a shifter?

Final Thoughts

As I got further into the book I enjoyed it more and more. By the time I finished the book, I knew I’d been long overdue for a shifter style romance novel. I actually don’t remember the last time I read a shifter novel which is really sad for me.

One of the things I really enjoyed about Emilia’s character was that she never changed who she was. Throughout everything that happened, she stayed true to herself and showed us that it’s OK not to know what you want to do with your career yet. That it’s OK to know what you want from a relationship.

There are so many dialogues out there saying women should have a career AND a family. But to do that they’re basically saying you need to know what your one and only career will be by the time you’re like 22. And that’s ridiculous.

I’m 28 and I’ve already had like 4 or 5 career changes for various reasons. I love what I’m doing now and I have a pretty solid idea on how to achieve my career and financial goals. But to expect women to have this figured out by 22 (roughly) is just crazy. You just don’t have the life experience to really know for sure by then.

Anyway, back to the story! The fact that Jason supports her, and what she wants to do is awesome. Because she needs his support in more ways than one to achieve what she decides she wants to do.

Her passion takes her down an avenue that I find truly inspiring and I wanted to know how it all played out. Unfortunately, I didn’t get that satisfaction in this book. But I’m hoping to get some in the coming books.

Zoe has also given me the second book, Truth or Bear, to read and review. So expect that to have a review in the next couple of months!

I hope you enjoyed this review, please continue down to find out more about Zoe and you can find her on all her social media pages. I look forward to seeing you again on Monday with Tom Stone Day of the Dead.
