adventurous tense fast-paced

I’m thoroughly entertained 😮‍💨 there are some elements here that I usually wouldn’t go for but I’m a sucker for a RH and paranormal/urban fantasy romance so I was LIVING. Also this is so fast-paced, literally something was happening every other page. 

I think the element which bothered me the most was how the FMC would react in certain situations. I am of course considering the various factors which come into play here, including previous trauma and exposure to an unknown setting. However, the behaviour was contradicting. One thing that remained consistent was that she would storm out of any scene - I did get a bit tired of that being repeated again and again. How are you going to learn anything if you don't even give them the chance? 

Given the 'fated mates' element, please do expect a lot of insta-lust and insta-love vibes. Surprisingly, it worked okay here! I was't mad about it, I think because I knew to expect it. There were some really good scenes between the FMC and the guys (before she stormed off of course lol - ngl, the 'why are you running' sound was all I could think about when this was happening). 

I really like the paranormal elements and the lore in this. Seems like an interesting world and I do hope we get more exposure to that! I know the romance is the focus, which is fine we love the vibes, however please give me all the paranormal and urban fantasy vibes too!
