Nyfain: "In the old days, it wouldn’t have mattered where you came from—with that skill, you would’ve stood out.

I doubted I could do it quickly or quietly, and even if I managed it, what if the creature could fly?

The beast captures her, and brings her to his home - all she asks is she is able to craft the tonic for her father. I assume others do it because their gardens are too small and they don’t have enough room to grow the plants they need. Overall, I loved the story and I cannot wait to see where it takes it in the next book of the series. I would help my mother run our booth from time to time, offering some flowers I’d grown or pelts I’d helped Father cure. I bent slowly and picked up the closed pocketknife with my free hand, avoiding the shards of glass on the floor.

This isn't a comment on the author's work as I'm sure some readers will be clutching their pearls, but more on what I expected. Although there were only three kingdoms of shifters now—well, two, since the curse had essentially wiped us off the map—there’d once been five. Hadriel:“I realize that comment would’ve gone over a lot better had I not been wearing a purple beast costume with my cock hanging out.Not and ending just a place card until the next book and I find while I’m feeling down and deflated because I was so looking forward to a battle and then a brilliant ending that just didn’t happen but hey I’ll give the next book a go and see what it’s like because even though I’m not happy with the end of this one I’m hoping the beginning of the next will grab again as the beginning of this one did. At the castle, Nyfain stops by the big orgy party in the ballroom, and asks for Hadriel, who comes out of the party. I would have liked more information, or possibly a glimpse in the MMC’s perspective but so far solid read.

It sounded like a human in peril, being eaten alive or gruesomely tortured, or a man with a paper cut on his finger. And yes, he did have a house and viable income, but that was only because he hadn’t done a damn thing to help his parents survive the sickness. Ignored the sudden explosion of wetness between my thighs, sending shooting sparks of delight every time my upper legs gave even a glimmer of friction.The curse was there, her work with the everlass plants was present, but there wasn't that much else standing out for me. I realize that comment would’ve gone over a lot better had I not been wearing a purple beast costume with my cock hanging out. Boys who like boys, girls who like girls, boys who like girls, girls who like boys—they’ll all want to shame-fuck the new hot girl. Finley, a twenty-something year old woman, has managed to create a tonic that slows the disease, and eases the symptoms - but the most important ingredient is in the woods. Someone older and more experienced was supposed to guide a young shifter through the change on the first full moon after their sixteenth birthday, but our powers had been suppressed long before my coming of age.
