The premise of this book immediately grabbed my attention. Featuring a shadow daddy, a matter of fact MFC, and a secret magical side plot. I loved the representation of a main character who struggled with mental health issues as well as being neurodivergent. I could also relate to the way she navigated social situations. However, I struggled with how much of the story centered around Alora’s desire to get laid. The lack of world building and explanation as to what Alora’s dreams ment left me confused. Especially since key details were only introduced in the final chapter and were glossed over to the point where I still don’t fully understand who or what Alora or Darce are. That said, the concept is intriguing, and I’m open to reading the second book in the series to gain a clearer understanding of the story.
