I absolutely adored the adventure of the story and learning more about some Finnish mythology. That being said, 1/4 of the book in a row is basically one rough sex scene after another. I don't mind a good sex scene, but after a while I found myself skimming because I wanted to get back to the interesting world and story behind it all. Definitely ends on a cliffhanger, which the writer warns you about in the content warning, and it leaves me with hope that perhaps the sequel will have a better balance. Probably should have given it 3 stars, but I do love the adventure side of it so much.

I may or may not be crying about how in love with Simon Graham I am.

If I had picked up this book and read the last page (as our main character enjoys) it would have definitely sold me on buying it.

Many times reading this book, I questioned if I could stomach what would occur and how it would end. I was so hopeful that this would be a book about found family, a father figure, rather than the relationship that came to pass.
Bryn Greenwood has incredible storytelling skills that brings you into a world that at times felt too real to bear.

Pleasantly surprised by this book. Most of the twist and turns authentically surprised or intrigued me. I'd rather that the last twist didn't occur (Max/Gabe relationship) as that was the only thing that seemed too far fetched. However it did allow the story to wrap up nicely and give closure
