I'd read this novella a couple of months ago and I still remember bits and pieces of it. I think this book was really light hearted, yet it still maintain the fae concept within the story. I loved the overall romance that developed between Nathan and Katenia. They were complete opposites (physically and probably mentally a little bit), plus they shared such an natural curiosity for both worlds.
The pacing and the characters were rushed and that was okay for a novella. Though at the same time, I do wish that this book was a little bit longer just so I could've explored more character development with the cast. Speaking of characters, I loved Nathan. He is a sweetheart and very loyal to his mission to protect those that suffered abuse. You can see that he cares and even though he was feeling the 'lust' over Katenia due to her fae appearance, he maintain the idea of returning her home to her family. The antagonist (whose name I completely forgotten) was in a nice way, bat-shit crazy. She and her partner-in-crime were well executed.
Ashe did a good job in creating this novella. Everything was fast pace, the tone was light-hearted with a few darker moments here and there, and the characters were likeable. I gave this book four stars because of how well written it was overall, but I didn't give it five stars because I wanted to be longer and maybe more in depth. Either way, this book was a nice read and I would read it again if I was bored or needed to get out of a reading slump. Its free on the kindle/nook as well if you're looking to purchase a book and don't have the money for it. :P
See you guys with a new post, happy howling.
