I’ll be honest, when I started this series a month ago I thought the series was finished. So imagine my surprise when I got to his book and realized, nope this is still an ongoing series. This doesn’t change my enjoyment of the book though.
This book is different from the previous books because the author released the two prequels as patreon bonus scenes and never expected to write the full story of these two. I don’t think the change in format affected my enjoyment of the story, it just clarified why there are two prequel chapters set during Halloween and New Years.
Fiona and Dalk had a very interesting relationship. Dalk is part of the group sent to guard the women at the Deep Sky settlement. He is quiet and grumpy and just isn’t really outgoing like some of the others. Fiona is the tattooed one of the group and is generally sweet and outgoing. Everything starts for them when Fiona gives Dalk a kiss during the New Years Eve party, which makes his feelings for her even stronger.
Like I have said before, I really enjoy the couples who start out without the mate bond first and fall in love. These two had a very cute relationship with Dalk struggling to control his feelings for Fiona and his jealousy whenever she interacted with others. Fiona started out viewing Dalk as a friend but it quickly changed the more she spent time with him and his grumpy demeanor. I really enjoyed the progression of their relationship, even with Fiona putting boundaries between them to try and protect both of them from potential heartache.
Overall, this was another enjoyable couple and I am curious to see who will fall in love next. I am also really wondering if we will ever get to the battle against the humans but I assume that will happen after the last human finds a mate.
