The Wild Edges #1
Finlay
Over a century ago, my alpha lost the one he loved.
And so did I.
My love for Danny’s wife is my deepest, darkest secret. All these years later, Danny has moved on and found a new love.
I wish I could do the same.
I’m stuck in a rut, going through the same routine day after day. Leading the clan is my motivation, but it’s not enough to fill the emptiness inside.
That’s until I meet Chester.
The quiet human florist has been hurt in the past. Someone has forced him to bury the person he once was.
But I see flashes of him during our interactions. Every glimpse has me desperate to know more. To learn what makes him smile. To discover what makes him happy.
All I have to do is persuade him to give me a chance. To trust me enough to let me close.
The clan has been my motivation, but I think loving Chester is meant to be my purpose.
'Finlay' is the first book in a thrilling MM wolf shifter series. Spice, found family, action, and protective MCs are guaranteed. Each book will follow a new couple and end with a HEA.

imagine a big, tired sigh. that’s what this book is.
lark, bestie, im begging you. i know that familiar is comfortable but familiar gets boring.
a few cameos are fun. the same characters over and over are not.
i get that kidnappings/supes brawls and fights are a huge part of this world, but maybe let’s try to have a few different conflicts sometimes? everything is starting to get so repetitive.
and don’t get me started on the fact that we basically already know the plot of the next book.
honestly, this is not bad. if this was the only lark taylor book i read, i would’ve genuinely enjoyed it a lot.
but i can’t simply forget that it’s a repetitive mix of all her other books.
i genuinely hope that she will branch out and do something different. (and this is also why i loved covenant that much.)

“I’m so miserable. And so fucking lonely. But I can’t change that. I can’t let anyone close.”Finlay is about two desperately lonely men who are terrified of letting their walls down to find love again. Finn has spent a long, long time trying to get over the forbidden love he had for his best friend's wife. Chester recently escaped an abusive relationship and has lost all faith in his own instincts. After all they've been through, they're scared of getting hurt again.
It had been impossibly easy to fall for this man. I’d fallen so far already that turning back wasn’t an option. But that meant it’d be impossibly easy for him to break my heart.Chester and Finn are both cinnamon rolls with the biggest hearts and it was so enjoyable reading about them finding their HEA. Chester doesn't know if he can trust again after being abused by his former partner, who left him with deep insecurities and scars. Thankfully Finn is the most enormously patient and protective green flag shifter to ever exist and is prepared to wait for him forever. After all, Finn is very good at that after all the time he spent pining over his friend Danny's wife Sarah. When he finally decides that it's time to let her go, he meets Chester and immediately feels a special connection. Finn is a huge romantic and just wants someone to love him back. The tension between the two was very entertaining and I laughed out loud a few times at these lunkheads finding their way to each other. I really loved all the effort Finn was willing to put in to reassure Chester. I did find that the book focused a lot on Finn being a great partner for Chester, and less so on why/how Chester was a great fit for Finn. I wish I had seen the same effort from Chester, because while he was a very sweet man, I kept looking for a reason why he was Finn's very sweet man.
I’d been skirting around the edges of life while telling myself it was enough. And it wasn’t. I’d been stable, but not happy. Content, but not fulfilled. Safe, but not satisfied.Despite all the Lark Taylor feels and emotion, this book was pretty low angst and the word that comes to mind most is 'gentle.' I think it could be a very healing read for someone who went through unrequited love or was abused by a former partner. It's uplifting and very very sweet, focusing on 2 men finding the courage to open themselves up to love again.
Lark, please make the next one even more Scottish!!

Finlay is a sweet and emotional romance between florist Chester and wolf shifter Finn. They are both scarred from their past and are seeking a fresh start. I really enjoyed how determined Finn was to move on from his past and embrace something new.
Chester is the perfect counter to Finn's personality. Chester is calm, warm, and compassionate, whereas Finn is intensely protective and forceful in his approach to defending his pack and those he loves. I also enjoyed the slower pacing of Finn and Chester's romance. Finn is patient and thoughtful while Chester works on healing from his past trauma.
Overall, this is a great start to this paranormal series. I loved getting to know the other pack members and look forward to their stories.
** I reviewed a complimentary copy of this story.***

Chester and Finn are just so sweet and wholesome together! I loved how Finn was so protective, and how he worked to help rebuild Chester's self-esteem and self-worth. That said though, not much actually happened in this book. It was mostly setting up the rest of the series, which I didn't mind, but it felt overly long and kind of repetitive at times?
I'm very intrigued to see what happens with Evan and Reid, I can't wait to see who Logan ends up with, and I'm assuming Calan has some unresolved situation with a demon somewhere....
My favourite part of the book was actually when they went to Southampton and it was like Supes Assemble! I always like revisiting my favourite characters from previous series, Danny and Ferry especially, so this was a nice addition to the book.
Looking forward to the next installment!

Absolutely loved it!! Lark Taylor has this amazing ability to break your heart, having you crying and have you completely, fully invested in the story just by reading the prologue. I seriously couldn’t put this one down. I loved Finlay and Chester’s story and I’m so happy they got this much deserved HEA. I’m already so excited for the next one!!

DNF @ 80%
Though there were some charming moments, this was just too emo and corny for my tastes. Everyone kept crying and having emotional outbursts.

This was okay! I didn’t hate it, but I didn’t really love it all that much. For a couple reasons. One being that I honestly cannot deal with the Scottish dialect. The amount of times I had to read ye and yer and canna and blah blah made me want to punch a wall. I probably shouldn’t visit Scotland. The other reason being that this book just seemed very familiar. It’s like all the new characters that are introduced are reminiscent of previous characters this author has written. Let’s start with Logan. Tiny little dude, but he can be feral and out of control when he’s protecting the people he cares for. So Harlow? Super grumpy brother. Mori? Finn and Chester going to have sex, but Chester has a panic attack. Cal and Oscar? Do not get me wrong, I still love these new characters, but I’m just not surprised anymore? Like I can guess what’s going to happen at this point because they’re all so familiar.
The sex will always be great. She has never ever let me down in that department. Girl can write some sex scenes. I’m always applauding her for that.
Also side note, it’s so confusing to me how wolves don’t have fated mates, but they act like they do? Which is great for me since I love the aspects of fated mates, but why doesn’t this author just go ahead and make them fated since she makes the characters act like they are? Like all the talk of them being drawn to each other doesn’t make sense to me if they aren’t fated for each other. Anyway not a deal breaker, but it’s always confused me.
I still enjoyed this book, and I do plan to read the next books in the series!

‘The song faded away to a hum, but I forced myself to keep going. To hold on to this recovered piece of me with both hands. It was mine. Mine. Matt had taken so much from me. It was time for me to take some of it back.’
Y’all knkw I’m a sucker for a Wolf Shifter romance and Lark Taylor delivers yet again!!!
I was so obsessed with Chester and Finn. They were so romantic and thoughtful of each other. I liked the introduction to the pack and all the side characters as well. That ending with Evan?? I was gagging!!

This book was my most anticipated read of the year and it did NOT disappoint! This is my new favourite wolf shifter romance, I was hooked from start to finish. Chester and Finlay have such a beautiful story and they both deserve love so so much 🥺
Everything about this book was perfection, I loved every minute of it, from Finlay shifting and spending time with Chester in dog form so he was never lonely, from him buying Chester bouquets of flowers every week and always protecting him, the spice was chefs kiss, I loved seeing Chester come back out of his shell and enjoy life again with Finlay by his side🥹
Tropes -
🤍 wolf shifter x human
🤍 hurt/comfort
🤍 protective MC
🤍 chosen mates
🤍 found family
I wish this whole series was out already so I could just binge it all, I cannot wait for Evan and Reid’s story! 😅

This was such a sweet and cozy book. The two MCs are just adorable and really I just can’t think of one negative thing about them. They were just so perfect for each other. Epic levels of consent, talking and just overall being nice to each other.
Once again I’m loving these cozy and spicy reads!
I do have to say that I think I would have been more connected to these characters if I had read the authors other series. Past character pop up and are part of the story and it just seems like I would have enjoyed those cameos and I think I would have been even more attached to Finn. I’ve read the first book from the Reckless Damned series so I know some of those. I actually DNFd the second and never moved on, but in this book you get their story, so I might try again. It’s still a good read either way and REALLY looking forward to the next in this series.

Finlay is book one in the Wild Edges series. This MM wolf shifter and human romance story is about Finlay and Chester.
When we first met Finlay in Humility, I couldn’t wait to read his story. It definitely starts off sad. Finn is a wolf shifter who is still grieving the loss of those he secretly loved. His life solely revolves around his clan. Chester is a human who has escaped a very toxic, abusive relationship. He started a new life working as a florist in a flower shop he now owns. Although he is lonely, he keeps his walls up to protect himself from getting hurt again.
When Finn goes to the flower shop for an arrangement to honor those he lost, he meets Chester for the first time. They did find themselves drawn to each other, but it was going to take time because Chester was guarded and struggling with insecurities. Finn was so incredibly patient and I loved his protectiveness. Finn and Chester helped each other to heal their wounds and put themselves back together. I enjoyed watching these two fall for each other and I was happy to see them find the love they both deserved.
I loved that we got character cameos from previous series. I also loved getting to know Finn’s clan, and it definitely makes me look forward to reading their stories next. What an amazing start to a new series and I can’t wait for more!

What just happened?! Did I just read maybe the best shifter book I’ve ever read?!!! I think yes, I could not put it down I read it in one sitting. It was perfection, sexy, possessive, protective shifter perfection! The perfect start to a new Lark series and if all of them are this good, they will easily be my favorite Lark books. That’s saying something because I’ve read them all and love them all. There is just something about Finn and Chester. Both equally sad, lonely, touch starved, in need of love and acceptance. They find each other and it’s endgame. Sweet, hot, and emotional like only Lark Taylor can write. So so perfect!

Watching Finlay find the love that loves him back was a delightful experience. As usual the found family theme was strong as well as the protective material vibes.

Загалом книга мені сподобалось, але трошки вона мене пригрузила. Тема важлива - відновлення після абʼюзивних стосунків і побудова нових, здорових. Але чесно кажучи, мені таке завжди трошки тєжко йде, бо всіх тих абʼюзерів хочеться з даху скинути, як мінімум.
З хорошого - як завжди купа прекрасного гарячого спайсу, наскрізний сюжет вимальовується в серії, і загалом вовки-перевертні веселі чуваки 😅 Дуже багато любові і поваги між головними героями, і камео улюблених демонів теж в наявності. Чекаю продовження сильно!

Read in another buddy read with the always lovely Lilly ❤️
I LOVED these two together!
Another win for this author for me with this new spin-off series in this author's expanded world, where basically all - or all, if I'm not mistaken? - take place in the same universe.
Finn was and is Danny's beta and best friend, who after Danny's wife and daughter were murdered, took over as the leader of the McCarthy Clan in his absence. He is still the de-facto leader, but Danny is available if he's ever truly needed. Otherwise, it continues as it had with Finn leading with his inner circle of his bio brother Calan, and not bio brothers but brothers anyway - Logan and Evan.
He's still not completely over the deaths of Sarah and Mila, despite the other's urging him to try and move on, even Danny.
To finally try and help him move on, once and for all, he sees this quant little shop called "Thistle Do Nicely" and does something he's never done before - get flowers for Sarah and Mila.
But who should he meet but the owner of the flower shop, Chester, a very sweet but damaged man who came to the Highlands in Scotland to start over after an emotionally, verbally, mentally abusive relationship he endured.
These two are immediately attracted to each other, but Chester is justifiably very wary of anything happening between them, and shoots anything down right away.
But the guy who works for him, Reid (who is human but knows more than a human should), is encouraging of a relationship between them, and encourages Chester to give him Finn a chance.
But Chester needs time, and when Finn finds out that Chester lives right where he used to go to be able to be alone and let his emotions out - a house was built there somewhat recently - he can't help but guard over Chester in his wolf form, especially when he learns of Chester's abusive ex.
He also swims naked in the pond a bit beyond the property and Chester may or may not stare at him swimming every morning from his kitchen window...and Finn may more may not know about it...
But one morning something sets off a PTSD episode for Chester and in a panic when Chester doesn't answer his door, Finn changes into his wolf form and goes into Chester's house to try and comfort him.
He doesn't mean to, but when Chester mistakes him for a dog, it turns into a thing where he shows up every morning to be with Chester, who actually loves the company. He may have cut himself off from people to protect himself, but that doesn't stop the loneliness. Finn feels like being in his wolf form is the only way to be close to Chester and give him comfort without overwhelming him by pushing anything in his human form.
As something with a warring clan starts to brew up, having to do with Reid, it turns out they would hurt Chester to hurt Finn, in order to get what they want - i.e. Reid - for whatever end that may be. So all the wolves of the McCarthy clan have to ramp up protection on them both.
Chester was SO sweet, I loved him SO much! He was hurt BAD and I loved how the author had these tow take their time in their relationship, and Finn was a sweetheart too, he was just so patient and kind and sweet with Chester, which is exactly what he needed after the abuse he suffered.
The love between them just shined right off the page and I was in love with these two from the get go, I couldn't get enough of this story!
It took its time to ramp up the heat in this, because of Chester's situation and how much time he needed to be able to trust Finn and feel comfortable with him, but once we got there it was so good! Absolutely adored these two together. Finn was so so passionate with Chester and it was just what he needed.
These two were perfect for each other in every way, and it just hit all the right spots.
I would have still given this .5 stars off for the epilogue which was not about them, but about the next couple Evan and Reid, BUT I am quite excited for these two and their book/relationship and the tease we got was exquisite! So I'll let it pass this time, but I really wish authors would nOT use the epilogue for the next couple.
Like...this is Finn and Chester's book, the epilogue should be FOR them. Changing that up on the reader feels tacky to me.
BUT other than the epilogue, which I didn't penalize the rating in this for due to my excitement for the couple, this was 5 stars for me.
I absolutely love this world and can't get enough and if this author wants to keep doing spin-off after spin-off series, I won't complain! More, please!
I'm definitely excited for Evan and Reid next, that's bound to be exciting! I'm also interested in Calan and who his LI will be, for sure. He's a tough nut to crack. Logan I'm wary of being a poly book so I'm trying not to get too attached to him in the meantime, sorry. But we'll see about Logan.
In the meantime, definitely pick this one up, it was a massive two thumbs up from me!
Can't wait for the next one! 😍😘

The love between them just shined right off the page and I was in love with these two from the get go, I couldn't get enough of this story!
It took its time to ramp up the heat in this, because of Chester's situation and how much time he needed to be able to trust Finn and feel comfortable with him, but once we got there it was so good! Absolutely adored these two together. Finn was so so passionate with Chester and it was just what he needed.
These two were perfect for each other in every way, and it just hit all the right spots.
I would have still given this .5 stars off for the epilogue which was not about them, but about the next couple Evan and Reid, BUT I am quite excited for these two and their book/relationship and the tease we got was exquisite! So I'll let it pass this time, but I really wish authors would nOT use the epilogue for the next couple.
Like...this is Finn and Chester's book, the epilogue should be FOR them. Changing that up on the reader feels tacky to me.
BUT other than the epilogue, which I didn't penalize the rating in this for due to my excitement for the couple, this was 5 stars for me.
I absolutely love this world and can't get enough and if this author wants to keep doing spin-off after spin-off series, I won't complain! More, please!
I'm definitely excited for Evan and Reid next, that's bound to be exciting! I'm also interested in Calan and who his LI will be, for sure. He's a tough nut to crack. Logan I'm wary of being a poly book so I'm trying not to get too attached to him in the meantime, sorry. But we'll see about Logan.
In the meantime, definitely pick this one up, it was a massive two thumbs up from me!
Can't wait for the next one! 😍😘

Oh wow.. that prologue. Such heartache. I love that Lark can pull you into a story so fast and start rooting for these characters so quickly!
Poor Chester. So alone and afraid to open himself up after being manipulated and hurt by his ex. And Finn, so scared of letting someone in just to lose them. These two were so amazing, and the patience and love that Finn has is so beautiful.
I absolutely devoured this story. I loved the establishment of this clan. Having only just finished reading the Reckless Damned series, it was awesome to see some of the old characters come back.(I know the clan shows up in Danny's story but I haven't read it yet. However, I don't feel like it took anyway anything from this story and just makes me excited to read more of this amazing universe!)
Can't wait to continue this series!

4.5 ⭐️ This is a series I'm really excited to continue! When Finn meets the kind yet withdrawn florist Chester, he knows that this is a man he can't let go. But Chester have been deeply hurt in the past, so the road to trusting and loving someone, is something he have to learn all over again.
“Good to know that if I ever want to distract ye in future, all I need to do is drop trou.” “All you need to do is smile,” I said honestly. “That’s distracting enough.”
I had such a fun time with this shifter-story. The first book in The Wild Edges-series is exciting, fun, wholesome and made me cry and smile stupid so many times. Finn is such an amazing book-boyfriend, and the way Chester needs to be protected by all cause, Finn is the perfect man for him. I'm very much looking forward to the next book in the series, which I'm already think I'm going to love! If you love fated mates, shifters, pack-vibes and found-family, this is a must read for you!
I big thank you to the author for providing me with an arc!

*edited my review* I have now read Patience and met Danny. I knew it would alter my opinion if I had read all of these in order and it did!
Lark is quickly becoming an auto read for me! There is nothing I love more than interconnected series and a big found family. I admittedly have only read the Reckless Damned series- I do think I would have loved this even more if I had read Danny and Riley’s story previously. However, it is not necessary to enjoy Finlay.
I loved knowing Cal and the other demons. And that I knew immediately who Matt was and how awful he had been to Bailey. Great uncle Cal to the rescue.
Lark does such a good job handling topics, like abusive relationships, with the necessary sensitivity. You don’t read about men on men abuse in relationships often. Important reminders to not stereotype.
Give me a wolf shifter and I will read it. I absolutely cannot wait for Evan and Reid’s book. As well as the other brothers!
I had some things in my real life that had me reading the second half slowly, and I tend to lose momentum. I think that’s the only reason it wasn’t five stars from me!

let’s go
Another one in the books. I love these stories. The found chosen family are one of my favorite things about this authors books. That and the personalities. Shout out to bigger person without an eight pack representation. I love the patience that Finn had with C. He didn’t give up on him and he kept coming back, gaining his trust and love. It was nice to see the gang or some of the gang and get to hear what they were up to. I think it’s gonna be a start of a good series and I can’t wait to read what is going to happen with Evan and Reid.
My only wish is that we had people of color in this book and can we normalize not waiting? I tell you what if my partner told me that we were mates and he could claim me and I would live forever. With him, I’m not waiting. This seems to happen a lot in Lark’s books and I just wish for once somebody jumped on that. Also, I wish the claiming was more than what it was. I feel like it was too simplistic maybe next time.
For future me:
Dual POV
No spice before relationship/friendship
No om/ow drama
No strict roles
No cheating or sharing
Needs diversity it’s 2025 get over it. Y’all already Black people and other people of color do exist in fantasy worlds. Heck they exist in regular world so why do they not existing your books?

Genre: paranormal romance, MM
Tropes / tags: hurt / comfort, shifters, small town
I've been craving Finn's story ever since Humility came out, and it was well worth the wait! The hurt / comfort was so sweet and tender - Finn and Chester made my heart feel all happy and tingly.
Oh how I adored Finn and Chester! They both felt a pull from the moment they met, but due to past hurt they were hesitant and had their walls firmly in place. The slow burn was perfect here as they both needed time to get to know each other and build up some trust. Chester was a complete sweetheart, and it hurt to see him doubt himself and dealing with the aftermath of his abusive ex. He was feeling so lonely but was terrified of letting someone get close to him again.
Finn was patient and careful with Chester, and made sure to let him set the pace, even with his wolf being a bit fixated on Chester and wanting to claim him. Their relationship development was super sweet and gentle, and I loved how Finn did what he thought was best to keep Chester company and comfort him. There was such a strong sense of hopefulness and healing / moving on in their story, and while it was an emotional read, it never felt particularly heavy or angsty.
Finlay had everything I could have wished for when it came to Finn and Chester's story - it was hurt / comfort perfection and such a heartwarming read! The revelations that were made here came as a bit of a surprise to me, and I loved seeing Danny and the demon boys again. I'm very excited (as well as terrified) about seeing more about the suspense plot and feud that began here, and I can't wait for the next story!

The wait was worth
From the moment Danny’s story ended, I knew I needed to see Finlay get his own happy ending. And wow, did this book deliver. Seeing a man who once lived in quiet heartbreak finally open his heart to someone new was incredibly rewarding. Finn and Chester’s connection is soft, sweet, and full of those toe-curling moments that had me kicking my feet like a giddy teenager 😍😂
Chester’s past is painful and hard to read at times, but his journey toward healing was written with such care. I loved how Cal and the rest of the "Sunday Murder Club" gave him the opportunity of escaping that toxic environment not knowing that would lead him to find love.
Found family is one of my favorite tropes, and this book delivered that beautifully. Bonus points for the spice and all the delicious “touch him and die” energy, a must in any good shifter romance 🔥🖤 😜🤭
Lark Taylor’s world building is as seamless as ever. The way the books connect and expand on each other is so satisfying. I’m already counting down the days until Logan’s book(he is definitely my favorite character in this series), and if the whispers I’ve heard are true about potential partners plural… well, I’m even more excited 😏😜
✨ Shifters. Spice. Soft moments. Swoony wolves. Found family. Broken hearts finding peace.
I loved every second of it.

This book was so dang good!! I’m obsessed with Finn, obsessed with Chester and can’t wait for the others to have a story too!! The story was so well told and you fall in love with all of them. Lark out did herself with this one and getting to read about past characters is one of my favorites. I definitely recommend this book!!

Love this so much. Devoured it too fast and now regretting it because I don’t want to say goodbye to Finn, Chester and Finn’s inner circle!!
Can’t wait for the next book!!

I was both money irresponsible and lucky enough to access this ARC through the author’s patreon and also being sent an ARC through The Author Agency.
Everyone who knows me knows that I have fallen in love with this universe. I have always been a supernatural everything fan, I love powers, magic and otherworldly beings and this universe was the one that brought everything together for me and made me have the time of my life. Through cliches, mates and well, “love and murder—keeping supe families together since ancient times” these books have taken over my heart.
Finlay was no different tbh. My number one in supernatural worlds are shifters and werewolves—followed by mages with elemental powers—so, after a glimpse of them in Danny’s book, I KNEW I needed more. I wanted a bit of more pack dynamics, but it was understandable given the rocky situation in Finn’s clan. However, his inner circle more than made up for it.
I’ve had the worst days these few days and this book was all I needed. Finlay was soft, sexy and fun. I loved how patient and thoughtful Finn was and I loved more than anything the way he went about his relationship with Chester. HE PRETENDED TO BE A DOG!! I laughed way too much. I absolutely loved that instead of being too much, possessive or agresivo (even though his nature called for it) Finn knew when to step back and let his friends handle things so he could comfort Chester. He’s literally the definition of if he wanted to he would. And I truly just need someone to love me like that SHUT UPPPPP
A good heartwarming and soft read, no harsh angst and too many good interactions.
It was a very straightforward book, so if you’re into more beating odds and bizarre life experiences this might not be for you, but if like me you’re in a sad rut, this will definitely warm your heart. (Or maybe I’m just a sucker for shifters) SUE MEEEEE
(I have literally 136 highlights I was NOT normal about this book at alll)
It wouldn’t be me if I didn’t yap a bit about the names (I really didn’t like the name Chester) it’s a thing about me having a unique name. Chester is like a cats name, it took me a moment to warm up to it. But with every bouquet I did (promise).
I CANT WAIT FOR EVANS BOOK. AND CALLANS. And most importantly, LOGAN’s. God knows I am not too into MMM but I promise in the name of my favorite archangel (Micah) that I would eat up Logan’s book which I highly suspect will be MMM.

Spice: 3/5 🌶️
Characters: Finlay and Chester
I knew I was going to love Finlay when I read Humility. I was chomping at the bit for more of the wolf shifters and I'm so happy we're getting a series for them.
Finn is exactly what I thought he would be, and I loved it. Strong, thoughtful, protective, loyal, romantic, sweet, and properly filthy when it matters. He's been carrying so much grief for so long that seeing him find his person and HEA was everything.
Chester broke my heart. He was a survivor of domestic abuse and the trauma from that is extensive. He had a lot of growth over the course of the book and did a lot of healing.
This gave me everything I wanted and everything I love about shifter romance - the shifter spending time in their shifted form, the other MC thinking they are just an animal or pet, better hearing and scent to pick up on things humans can't, mating bites, etc. And I was thrilled by the amount of actual shifting that happened in the book. I genuinely dislike when shifter books are basically written as contemporary and only have one or two scenes where they shift. Like, what's the point then?
The only thing that brought this down from a full five for me was that there was so much focus on Chester and his trauma and recovery that it sort of felt like the entire story and relationship was centered around that. I love Lark's writing and how hurt/comfort and mental health are always pretty heavy in the books. But there are a few where it's so heavily focused that the book doesn't feel quite as balanced as I would have liked. Where one of the characters and their issues overshadows the other a bit. This is one of those. We start out the book with Finn grieving but wanting to move on. Where he addresses the fact that he knows his biggest fear is losing someone he loves. It's addressed once or twice more but very quickly and then just sort of seems to vanish and no longer be a fear or thought for him. I would have loved to see a bit more focus on him and his healing/recovery from that fear/thought process.

Y'all, FINLAY was everything I hoped it would be and more, honestly.
Lark brings her sprawling storytelling, a sweeping romance packed with feels, and we get a hunky ripped wolf shifter. Yes, please.
As much as I loved Finlay and seeing the wolf bros and more of the shifter clan, CHESTER and Reid stole the show for me.
In Damned Collections, the short story collection, we meet Chester, and I KNEW this man would be my favorite. Even with everything he's been through, he's an absolute sweetheart. This isn't a spoiler, but there's a moment when he's thinking of his "Uncle Cal" and wishing he had gotten to know him... and WE know who Cal is... but Chester doesn't. And it's so remarkably sweet, and it just made me emotional. But that's so Chester, and seeing him in his shop and trying to get by... he's just so charming, and I so badly wanted him to get his HEA. AND HE DID!!!
FAVE MOMENTS (no context with letters missing for added mystique):
B_d_y & ba_on
P_an_ P_ns
Lo_h S_ims
Ni_k n_mes
Also:
Panic attacks
Dirty talk
Siberia
The Evan/Reid/Clarkson storyline
THE CLOSET
CAL
DANNY & RILEY
I loved Finn and Chester. I loved how they were together and who they were to each other. I loved how much care and attention Chester put into his floral arrangements. I loved how their story progressed. I just loved them. So so much.
Devil's Mark and Cal & Oscar will always be my favorite. But I think Finn and Chester have moved into the number two spot.
Lark, i love you. Thanks for this universe and these supes who just warm my cold dead heart.
