Grim isn’t so grim
⚠️spoilers ahead ‼️
MMC: Grim, this his story
FMC: Journey, it also alternates between his and hers POVs.
Plot- An MC of Rogue wolves and Shifters known as the Iron Fang, also a band of misfits who all roughly have the same things in common: they’ve been rejected by their fated mates or are now mateless in someway and are now slowly dying due to this. They spend their time basically fighting crime, bringing down sex trafficking rings, and all the things you’d expect law enforcement to do, but the MC does instead.
Grim finds his second chance mate, a human by the name of Journey who is one of the captives of a sex trafficking ring ran by the Fae.
Journey is stronger than she realizes. A life of tragedy and abuse since she was a teen, being shipped and sold from one awful place to another, yet she ends up rescued by a shifter MC gang, who are just doing it out of the goodness of their hearts? Yeah, Journey can’t wrap her mind around that. No one ever just does something for good, they always want something in return. So earning her trust is something Grim had to work on. He was SO incredibly sweet and gentle with her, even when he was a man of few words. I loved how he was with her, and made sure she was comfortable and okay every step of the way.
I loved how Journey so openly accepted the world of which they lived in and took it all in stride too. It’s a breath of fresh air not seeing the FMC run away for dear life because she doesn’t understand. And while I get that may make sense theoretically in ‘a real life situation’ but in the world of fantasy romance, at least she had an inkling he was different and the bond helped her realize she wasn’t afraid of Grim or being around him. Most characters are so conflicting with “I can feel I’m safe and I trust him, but it’s not normal to be a wolf. None of this is real.” Cue eye roll. I’m just glad that wasn’t the case with Journey.
Conclusion- Journey becomes the first human to successfully turn into a wolf after being bitten by her mate, Grim. She’s actually a living breathing priestess for the moon goddess, which the rest of the heartbroken MC members aren’t so reluctant to believe it. They’ve been through too much, seen too much, and have given up hope on the moon goddess. But Journey is their second chance and is bringing hope and second chants mates with her in this series. Journey and Grim are SO freaking cute. I enjoyed their story, and it was a good read! I’m looking forward to seeing if any of the other members quit being so stubborn and open their hearts to the moon goddess for a second chance. I hope they let the negativity go and quit doubting. I mean they’re technically mystical creatures for goodness sake, how hard is it to believe the moon goddess wants to make things right?!
Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ 5/5. Grims dirty talk was *chefs kiss* and his actions were even more so. Lots of spice with this couple who could not keep their hands off one another!
