Another sweet and steamy read in the Duskwalker Brides series, I really enjoyed this! I was so happy to see content warnings, I love it when authors let the reader make an informed choice before diving in.
It was really cool to see a romance where the MC struggles with depression, and isn't just immediately happy and perfect.
The smut in this book is rated a 10000000000000000/10. Had me giggling and kicking my feet I swear.
I think the issues that some authors face when writing a romance series centered around different characters of the same "species", is that the names often becomes easily interchangeable with every book. There truly isn't any different in the characters, the plot, or the story. I am so happy to say that is not the case with this series.
I think I was afraid that Delora was also going to have her own fighting/training montage, much like Reia did in her book. I was so happy to see that Delora is her own character, with her own problems and motivations. I really liked how different the dynamic is in this book, I never thought I would enjoy a story with a pregnancy in it, but it is a testament to Opal Reyne's writing how engaged I was. 
I loved seeing a glimpse of "Kitty", as well as getting more insight into the Owl Lady and what she goes through every day.  I can't wait to read the next book! 
Highly recommend this series to any monster lovers!
