It is sweet-ish, but it felt like most the book was talking about how horrible her life was with her fluffle and experiencing that with her rather than how awesome her wolves are. Seriously, we get barely a day and a half with the wolves (most of it is spent sleeping) and it is SUCH insta-love. Immediate recognition of mates and then snuggles like the rest of the time.
There were also continuity errors? Like, how long was she actually with her fluffle– weeks or months? At one point she says she has 5 bunny shifter mates, but I am pretty sure it was only 4. Somehow the bad guys get onto the wolves' territory???? But then the parents try and immediate can't, so like what happened there ESPECIALLY since the pack knows they are protecting a shifter on the run?
It just... a lot of it made no sense. There is little personality difference between her wolf mates and I was continuously getting them confused. It really isn't great??? I love the BunnyxWolf shifter dynamic and the characters leaving their homes and where they should be safe but aren't and going to the predators and finding love. THAT is great, I love this bit, but we don't see any actual HEALING happen after all the abuse she went through. I need healing, not just “oh they love me and treat me great... hope I don't die so I can be with them!” It was bizarre.
Reading this was a huge letdown and I'm not sure I want to put myself through it again with the next book.
ALSO: both the author and the MC saying the MC wasn't raped because she asked for it, is toxic af. I get it is a grey area, but she was in heat. I don't care that the bunny shifters left her alone until she begged for them, OBVIOUSLY she was going to give in because shifters can die going through heat alone (this is actually mentioned in the book). Is it rape? Maybe not classically, but it is assault especially since women bunny shifters immediately mate with the men that get them through their first heat. So. What. The. Fuck.
Essentially she was given the choice of having sex with people she dislikes OR dying.
The absolute trauma Ellora goes through in this book is barely touched on or acknowledged at all.
