Sloan writes love through trust and trauma. She also writes open-door spice because romance needs toe-curling steam.

Fantasy and world-building are the ways she immerses you in a new place that feels familiar, and magic in the bedroom is never off the table.
When she isn’t behind her desk, she’ll be in the garden growing vegetables, or if Canada is buried in snow, she’ll be planning her garden and playing with the dogs. She spends her days with her crux… if you haven’t learned what a crux is, read her complete Dark Aria series. Sloan loves connecting with her readers.

This was very spoilery for the rest of the series, so I would definitely read this LAST.
It was great getting to know Tad + Aliyah's story. I love this world so much.
I desperately need to do a reread
