“Perhaps it was never an issue of not trusting her, I just wasn’t trusting of the world around her. For whatever reason, I couldn’t believe that she would be with me forever.”
After the spell blocking the shifters from their soulmates is broken, Noah hopes the worst is behind him and his clan of shifters. Unfortunately, threats to his happiness with Sophia continue to lurk in the shadows... including the witch who betrayed his family. Torn between protecting Sophia and seeking revenge, Noah finds himself in a tug-of-war between the human and supernatural world. "If I had the same magic running through my veins, supernaturally bonding me to him, he wouldn’t question my love for him, or take any issue with my male friends. I could preach my devotion until I was blue in the face, but maybe it could never dissuade him from the fact that it was human nature to be fickle." With danger always imminent, and Noah pushing her away for her protection, Sophia wonders if she will ever truly feel at home in Noah’s world. When a friend in need requires her attention, and Noah’s unfounded jealousy rears its ugly head, Sophia also struggles to make space for Noah in her world. Frustrated with the barriers between them, Sophia aims to find a common ground.
Gryffin Murphy lives in Virginia with her husband and their two pugs, Bagels and Buster. She spends her days in overalls, trying to befriend the neighborhood crows and writing stories that warm the heart like the perfect cup of tea on a rainy day.
This is the third book in the Arrowed series. You have to read these books in order.
Sophia is very sensitive about being human. Not only does she feel useless but she feels horrible because she now knows that Noah has stronger urges because he's a shifter and they're not ready for that yet. She also found out that Noah can feel her emotions and knows when she needs him. How do you handle that when you're human?
I had this pain in my chest because I know Frankie didn't mean to hurt Sophia's feelings but when you feel sensitive about your species it's hard to not take it personal. I think it's sweet that Sophia wants to have Noah with her human friends since he took her into his shifter world. It's so cool that Noah can feel Sophia's emotions. That ending was crazy! I didn't see that twist coming at all! This was phenomenal. I can't wait to get into the next book.
It started off calm and slow then painfully slow as Sophie spent 57% of the book boo hooing about being human and feeling sorry for herself. It literally only got interesting at around 80% and I’m glad i stuck around. If Sophies self deprecating doesnt end now, i don’t think I’ll continue on
I continue to not be able to put these books down. Sophie is struggling with the differences between her feelings as a human, and not feeling as though she is enough for Noah because she is only human and not one of the supernatural. While she is fighting her own feelings with that, Noah is fighting his own with her always being in trouble and wanting to keep her safe from the threats that the supernatural world seems to lead right in her way. I cannot wait to see how things between them blossom more through the next book.
