This was a really interesting story to read. As soon as I picked it up I couldn’t put it down until I finished. Definitely going to read the 2nd & 3rd books. Very much a slow burn.

Not as good as the first. Still incredibly interesting, and I’ll definitely be reading the third.

Reading this felt like reading a love letter to Oklahoma. It included so much information, laid out in a cohesive manner, that I’ve always wanted to know about my local region. Highly recommend!

As far as monster romance goes Hazelwood does a great job of staying away from many of the cliché writing devices. The MC here is actually funny and the author does a good job of making her feel multidimensional.

I like the idea of this book. And maybe I will return to it at another time. Looking for something different right now for my reading.
