This book had the engine running!!

I wasn't expecting anything from this book, especially with this kind of cover art but BAYBEE!! Darkhaven absolutely slayed it! And this is her debut?! Fawkin hell!
The descriptions of the fmc walking in the forest, coming across the beast, their... "interaction" with each other- I was breathless.

Excuse me as I drink some ice water, will my body to unclench, and binge all her books. 😎

1. The cover is misleading: she is a "scholar of liminal spaces" she probably won't be wearing a 2 piece in the field.
2. I didn't like that he didn't speak. I like when the monsters actually are at least quasi intelligent and can hold conversation.
3. It is a quick read.
4. This was apparently her first book, so I will put that into consideration.

2.5?⭐️ the smut wasn’t poorly written or anything. Again not a proud read of mine but it was just the same thing three times basically?

Good spicy smut but was too short. Also wish keros had been able to speak. Ending was not the greatest but for a first short story was fairly well done.
