Andie was a decent heroine. She reminded me a little of Kate Daniels, but younger. You know, the vulnerable bad-ass character archetype. I'm a sucker for that in paranormal fiction. Also, as an ex-band geek, I appreciated her love for her saxophone. I don't say this enough on here but it's always great to see a heroine with hobbies and interests outside of the hero.
Sascha actually reminded me a lot of Curran from the Kate Daniels series, too, including his ideas of courtship. So I think actually that if you enjoy that series, you'll probably enjoy this author as well, as the dynamic is similar, although there's more of a YA/NA flavor to this book. Sometimes I felt like I was almost getting late-2010s/post-Twilight paranormal romance vibes.
I didn't actually care for the romance that much. For me, the best part of the book was the mystery about her heritage (kind of a disappointment, tbh), the setting, and the heroine. I felt like the descriptions of Sascha were pretty redundant. I didn't read this on ebook but part of me wants to download it on KU just so I can count up how many times "honey" was used. I feel like it had to have been at least fifty times. Definitely a lethal drinking game.
I'm not mad at this book, though. And I think the author has a really fun and accessible writing style. I would read more from her in a heartbeat, just probably not from this series. Although maybe I will, who knows? I think she has a vampire book series out and I'd be more inclined to read that, since I like vamps way more than weres.
2.5 out of 5 stars
