Where to begin

First and foremost, the audio is horrendous. I’m pretty sure it was recorded in a bathroom, it’s very tin-y.

This book started out great. No, not great, there are issues but I was overlooking them because I adored our FC. I kept thinking “omg are we getting a competent, strong, relatable and age appropriate FC women can actually relate to? And not a barely legal wallflower princess assassin just discovering her magic that she doesn’t know how to use????” I was amazed and instantly was going to rate 5 stars. However, Chapter 16 happened and I don’t understand what’s going on. If you know, you know. 😭

Here’s my biggest gripes with this book:

❌- 90% of this book is inner monologue. Seriously, there is barely any interactions between characters. It’s all in the head.
❌- Time flows weirdly and I think it’s because this author doesn’t know how to write it out. You read about something happening that spans days and you only get small details when it’s something significant.
❌- There is way too many times where the writing contradicts itself, sometimes by sentence/paragraph/page/chapters.
❌- The FC does a complete 180 in characteristics at the end of chapter 15-16. It’s not the same person. At all.
❌- Why would you, a shifter, send in a DNA test? That seems dumb. Then when she gets it back, it says she’s a different type of shifter breed. So was it like a shifter DNA company? This really irritated me and it lives rent free in my head.
❌- the MC heard FCs thoughts but during her inner monologue, she claims she heard his thoughts when that never happened. Then later, she described him reading her thoughts and brought up she can read his like she didn’t just say she already did the last paragraph. Like it’s news to us.
❌- Lastly, my biggest issue is the books description. There are TRIGGER WARNINGS that are meant to warn readers of something that could possibly trigger them. However, none of what was described actually happened. There is no kidnapping or anything. In fact, this is a very PG book, there’s no kissing at all. Everything happens off page. We don’t even know how hard it is to shift because it’s not fully described. Anyways, if you’re reading it based on those warnings, you’ll be very disappointed.

Overall, very mediocre not even 1 star read. Sorry not sorry. 🤷‍♀️

Let me add a few emojis in hopes my review doesn’t get deleted. Please ignore lol
