Reviewed by Lea4,5 ⭐️ Okay so .. at first I was like ~ am I really reading a book about kraken ? this is gonna be bullshit, but then… when Ordus said : ‘I want to be someone’s priority..just once’ .. oh how I felt that.. and every each chapter I started to like Ordus more and more and even tho Cindi saw him as a ‘monster’.. he wasn’t for me. He cared,he protected her and he still saw her as his mate after everything 🥲 And Vasz? Hahaha I love this shark-dog-something .. every chapter about him was hilarious.. coconut? 🥥 Oh Avina St.Graves.. each book I read from you.. it was amazing 🩵 Some highlights ~ Chapter 10. < I want to be someone’s priority,just once, even if it’s not because they want me to be. Chapter 18. < I want spend the rest of my eternally grateful for the chance to be in your presence. Chapter 25. < Mate or not, I would choose her every time.
