My enemies lurk in every corner and danger is closer than I could have ever expected. Only time will tell whether or not I can defeat these enemies.
With her help, I know I can; because she's my saving GRACE.

Reread for Top Favorites of 2022 with an annotated copy from The Book Refuge:
5/5 stars. This time around it didn’t quite hold to a 6 stars but it’s still a great book and I was reminded again again I loved it so much the first time around. Reinette is definitely one the highlights in this, she’s the best pup.
6/5 Stars. First of all, the cover is stunning! One of the best I’ve seen this year! This book is amazing! This actually left me impressed since it’s Kylie’s first book and it was so compelling, both the story and the characters. From chapter 1 I knew I would love this and I’m glad I was right from the get go.
Ryne is so swoony! He’s an alpha through and through but he’s also vulnerable when he needs to but also how to have conversations , he’s possessive but also very protective of everyone in his care. He’s just so amazing. His past left me a bit enrage cause how could someone do that to this man? But alas everything that happened lead us to this awesomeness .
Grace is my Queen! Many times she would say something and I would be cheering her on or just nod. She is so my type of heroine. I couldn’t be happier with her. It made me like her even more when I learned about her past. She went through so much but she came back a survivor in a way. I think this saying couldn’t be more appropriate, “ what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger “. She is so strong because of what she went through and that came across when she cared for other people or when she needed to comfort others. I LOVE HER. My Luna. My Queen.
Ryne’s daughter, Reinette is a princess and so fricking adorable ! I loved the way Grace loved her since she had her sights on Rein. Also I can’t help but mention Rio . Rio and Reinette relationship? I want that asap please and thank you.
The meet cute between Ryne and Grace was awesome, right then and there I knew how much I would enjoy their story. I took notes and highlighted a lot of this so that gives you an idea of how much I like this book. Their relationship is perfect. The way Ryne understands Grace and the way he provides emotional support is everything, I was living for it and swooning hard. Also can i just say how much I appreciate consent in this book? Consent is so hot, loved everything revolving this. Now their sexy times was off the charts, amazing chemistry and the way they just love each other is heartwarming.
I hate bad mothers so am I surprised that I didn’t like Rein’s mother until the end of book? No. Did I pity her? Maybe. Am I sorry she’s gone? Nope. 🙈 good riddance! Vincent is an interesting guy so I’m intrigued to see what the future holds for him. Ryne’s mother grated on my nerves a lot but Grace was there to put her in her place and placate me at the same time. Grace is so awesome 😌. I loved all the Council’s members and everyone in Ryne’s pack so I want all of their book. I know I’m greedy but it was that good. 🤷♀️
Basically I loved everything about this book, from the story to its characters and I can’t wait for more to come.
His Saving Grace is the debut novel of Kylie Gopal, a South African author, it's the first book in the Supernatural Council Series. Told from a dual POV, we meet two shifting werewolves from different packs who are destined mates but the attraction doesn't prove to be as easy as initially thought. The bond has its challenges and we see Grace and Ryne battle through emotions, love lost and danger to themselves and their packs.
With a strong female lead, Grace takes the crown when it comes to protecting those she loves. Ryne is the typical alpha male with his good looks and protective presence. Don't mess with the alpha male or you will get bitten. There are some spicy scenes in the book not suitable for younger readers.
That moment when the cover and the title made sense was so satisfying; a book is well executed when the reader understands the inspiration behind the cover and the title. I love the playlist added at the beginning of the book as well as the design of the book, the glossy pages feel like silk and I kept running my hand over the pages. If you like second chance at love, fated mates, werewolves or shifter romance, this is the perfect read for you. I'm eager to see what comes next in the Supernatural Council Series.
I was really hoping to enjoy this one more than I did. The plot sounded really good and I think it had potential. I know this was the author’s debut, so I’d be curious to try again if they wrote more books in the future with this world.
This was recommended to me because it is a werewolf/shifter romance between two people who had both had mates in the past (and lost them in different ways) and now find themselves mates to one another. The hero is also a single father to his daughter. I did like how they meet in this: Grace is the head warrior of her pack and Ryne is an alpha who shows up from a different pack, they realize quickly they are mates but she’s confused since she was already mated and lost him. She ends up leaving to go with Ryne to his pack and to meet his daughter.
From there is when the story started to lose my interest. There were parts of the story I felt like needed more info from and some parts kind of dragged or felt out of place for the story. The relationship didn’t really have a lot of buildup and we don’t see them fall for one another, first they keep their distance and then she kind of suddenly changes her mind and is open to more and they’re instantly a family from there. There is steam in here but it just didn’t work for me since I was invested in the characters or plot.
ARC REVIEW, thanks to @authorkyliegopal for the arc
4.5
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨/⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I LOVED THIS BOOK! It has everything and more than I expected it. The book was everything it has my favorite things werewolves and a lot supernatural/magical creatures! If you are obsessed with werewolves this is your book!!!! The book had everything I love in fantasy books, I also love the tropes that are on this books!
Also the sides characters are amazing😭 I love this book so much probably one of those that you live in your memory forever and you can’t wait to have the whole series in your bookshelf🥰
READ this book Also it was spicy 🌶 too so 😏😏😏 its kinda an slow burn 🔥🔥🔥 but when it finally happens GOD DAMN IT!!!
I think I may have set myself up for disappointment with this one. I thought it sounded interesting and the cover looked cool and I kinda liked the first couple of chapters but it just felt so unorganized and rushed, and yet also so incredibly slow at the same time. I thought it had such potential from the beginning too! but there was random info drops and very little world building. for example: there is something called the supernatural council that is apparently really important. yet they aren't talked about until over halfway through. there was no explanation before or after, just a chapter long info dump that really didn't say anything. I feel like if this council was so important it maybe should have been introduced earlier and a bit better than that? and the characters weren't great either. I didn't like Ryne, he seemed way too hypocritical and the way he jumped from hating Grace to thinking that he can't live without her literally in the span of a few chapters was annoying. there was no relationship development, or nothing that made me really say, wow I really want these two to end up together. Grace's character had a lot of potential (much like the plot) and I liked her in the beginning but the farther into the story you got she just seemed to become smaller and smaller, less of an MC and more of a supporting character to Ryne, and I didn't care for that. anyways, like I said, it just seemed really unorganized overall. about the midway point I was really getting annoyed and started skimming hoping it would get better. but it didn't.
thank you sooo much @author_kyliegopal for gifting me a review copy <3
I don't usually read books about werewolves but I actually really enjoyed this book! it was super fast-paced and easy to read (I read this in a day woo !).
I really enjoyed reading Grace's chapters the most because I loved getting to know more about her and her past (we loooove a strong female character). I'm also really excited to learn more about the side characters in the future.
I would highly recommend this if you're looking for a fast-paced supernatural romance !
(I am genuinely obsessed with this cover. it! is! so! pretty!)
I was asked by the author to read and review this book, which I was more than happy to do.
Fated Mates? Second Chance Love? Forced Proximity? Happy Ever After? Spice? Strong Female Main Character? Yes, please!
I was so excited to read this book, but with every chapter, I found myself slowly becoming uninterested. I did read it all, but it was a true struggle. This was the author's debut novel, so there is some allowance for mistakes and grammatical errors, but I think what bothered me the most was that some of the aspects were oversold. In the beginning, Grace (FMC) was depicted as this badass Zeta wolf warrior. I have no issue with seeing moments of weakness or falter in strong FMCs, especially with fated mates, but it seemed like Grace had meltdown after meltdown.
*SPOILER* When River was discovered to have betrayed Grace, she begged and pleaded for his life, even though he definitely deserved to be put down for putting a six-year-old child in danger.
I also felt like there was a lot missing from the story. There were parts that didn't quite fit together and I found myself wondering why other scenes were put in at all. The spicy scenes were good for a debut novel, but because I never really connected with the characters, they hardly did anything for me.
The plot was truly a fantastic idea, I just think it was poorly executed. That can be a good thing, though; means there is plenty of room for improvement!!
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
Reminiscent of our beloved werewolf books (a phase I KNOW we all went through) this story about Grace and Ryne is bursting with everything you want regarding Alphas and Mates!
✓ Werwolves ✓ Fated Mates ✓ Second Chance Love ✓ Dual POV ✓ Spice ✓ Strong Female Lead ✓ Found Family
Firstly I have to mention the title of the book 🖤 I absolutely adore it! 🥹 because you know… her name is Grace and it’s a second chance at love soo ahhh just so cute!!!
So what happens? Grace has been coasting through life but not really living it ever since the death of her mate. While she remains a bright and lovable character, you can tell she has lost her purpose.
Enter Ryne. Alpha of the Gifted Moon Pack with different abilities. A chance encounter presents Ryne with the opportunity to complete his destiny by making Grace fill the role of Luna in his pack.
The banter and fire between these two is hot right from the start 🔥 I was living for the tension!
I managed to finish this book in a day so if you’re looking for something fast paced and easy to devour, you’d appreciate this 🥰 the story isn’t that complex and I was happy my predictions turned out to be true! ♥️
This book honestly makes me want to go back and read all my favourite werewolf books from the wattpad days 😂 I miss them so much!!!
Huge thanks to the author for providing me with a #gifted copy in exchange for an honest review.
His saving Grace Book one in the supernatural council
Grace lost her mate Titan when he saves her from hunters to keep his memory alive she takes his place as zeta Warrior.
Rayne Alpha of the gifted pack goes to Grace’s pack to sign a document that will make each other’s pack allies He realizes she’s his mate . When he tells Grace that she refuses because she already had a mate Rayne says to the other alpha he will only sign this document if Grace agrees to go to his pack with him. To Grace he says don’t reject me because my past mate rejected me My wolf can’t take another rejection it would kill me. I have a daughter I can’t let that happen. Grace agrees to go with him to his pack and she falls in love with his seven year old daughter first. but as Grace and Rayne get to know each other kids from the pack and up dying and they have to figure out who is responsible . I really like this book I liked all the characters and the way Rayne was very patient with Grace and never tried to force the bond on her he waited for her to make the first move. I loved Rayne’s little girl she was so cute. As the author‘s first book I was really impressed. Tropes Second chance adult shifter romance trigger warnings for loss of a loved one
First of all I want to thank @kylie for gifting me a copy of her book for a honest review. Kylie this is very impressive for a first book, well done.
This is a first for me reading about werewolves , and I must say I did enjoy this. It's fast paced, touch her and I kill you vibes, and spicey!
I loved the characters Grace and Ryne and the little girl Reinette. Grace is such a strong female, after all the hurt and betrayal she stood her ground. I'm so glad she and Ryne got their happy ever after.
If you are looking for a book that has the following: °Fated Mates °Alpha Male °Dual POV °Spice °Shifter Romance °Touch her and I'll kill you °Romance °Fast paced Then this book is for you!
I’m a sucker for a fated mates book, especially when it’s shifters, so when I found out about this one, I moved it to the top of my tbr. I dove into this book and was so not prepared to be crying from the very beginning. My heart BROKE for Grace and what she was going through at the beginning but I was absolutely here for it when she met Ryne.
Grace and Ryne both have headstrong and dominant personalities so seeing them interact with each other was just everything. I love that Grace is such a snarky smartass and how it takes her banter with Ryne to the next level. Also, the way she handled Ryne’s mother and refused to take her shit had me pumping my fist in the air. Ryne is such an alpha, but he was also able to be vulnerable with Grace, which just made me swoon. I also loved that while he was protective of Grace, he also knew that she could handle herself and he never held her back from doing something just because it was dangerous.
I also loved the side characters so much, especially Reinette. I loved that Grace and Reinette bonded so easily and that they had such an easy time with each other. That little girl is just so damn adorable that you can’t help but love her. Xavier, Rio, and Vincent all intrigued me and I hope that we get to see more of them later.
I really enjoyed this book and if a second chance, fated mates, shifter romance is your cup of tea, then you should definitely give this one a try!
Firstly this book deserves more than a 5 star rating. My mind was blown once reading it and I fell completely and utter in love with the plot twist and the characters. I must sat that when it comes to supernatural books i can always count on Kylie Gopal because she just made me love and obsess on supernatural books.
I have read this book cover to cover and I am completely enamoured with the characters and epic storyline. This has become one of my favourite werewolf books. The plot twists are unexpected but the author leaves clues to ease you into it. I can't wait for more of the supernatural council series.
This book gave me an intense feeling of nostalgia. It took me way back to wattpad days when I first started reading supernatural books. It felt so familiar yet new. Almost comforting. It's been a while since I read a supernatural/shifter romance and I must say I was not disappointed.
It started off strong. I wanted to start bawling right after reading the prologue. I thought I was going to be sad throughout the book but I was SO wrong! It had an amazing plotline that kept me interested. I was invested in knowing more about the characters. I feel like I bonded with little Reinette on some level. 🥺 There was an easy flow and never a boring moment.
Ryne was everything!!! 😍😍😍 Grace is a much better woman than I could ever be for holding out as long as she did. 👀🌶 I loved the banter between the two and I especially loved falling in love with Grace and Ryne. Love the way they support each other and stand by each other through all the bad times. I cannot articulate how much I adore them as a couple. ❤
I gotta give credit and appreciation to Grace as well. That's one badass chick. We love strong female characters! 😩
I low-key wish there was more Brielle and hoping we get more Vincent in future books. 😬
I can't wait to see what @authorkyliegopal has in store for the rest of the series. 🥺
I got this ARC for an honest review, this is my first supernatural book I have read and I must say it was the best dive I could wish for myself for a new genre.
So what do we have here? A werewolves packs? ✅ A strong Zeda woman? ✅ A strong and stubborn Alpha of all Alphas man? ✅ A second chance for love? ✅
Gracie had a mate, a lover and then she lost him. Losing your other half... I can't imagine myself that pain and the grief she had to deal with. 🥺💔 Grace's now 26, and she's the Zeda of the pack. One night her best friend convinces her to go out with her to a club there she encounters an intoxicating and special scent she has never encountered before, 𝙖 𝙨𝙘𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙗𝙚𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙜𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙝𝙞𝙢. The chemistry made them and me dizzy and I became addicted to the shards of moments at the club. It was supposed to end at that one night, yeah ... not exactly😉 Ryne is unwilling to give up on Grace, and he is willing to fight the fire of hell in order to win her heart and affection,to win a second chance at love.
But this is not the end of the story, Ryne's pack is attacked by hunters and rogue. Mysterious attacks, messages next to corpses, who the hell is responsible for all this ??? Throughout the book I was tense, my brain working overtime trying to solve together with Ryne and Grace this great mystery. I no longer have nails to bite 🤣
This book had me go me through the whole range of possible emotions to read - I found myself growling like a wolf in anger at characters, whimpering and crying in moments that broke my heart, I admit I even was surprise with unexpected surprises. I laughed out loud (there is a situation where some snoring was also emitted but I am not ready to admit that🤣🤫), I fell in love, got excited, 𝐈 𝐞𝐧𝐣𝐨𝐲𝐞𝐝!!! This is the most important! 𝙄 𝙚𝙣𝙟𝙤𝙮𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙗𝙤𝙤𝙠 𝙨𝙤 𝙢𝙪𝙘𝙝!
Kylie has embroidered an intriguing plot here, especially since this is my first fantasy book in years!I fell in love with the genre again 😍 Now I want to read more and more from you (addict much? 🤣) Remember the name Kylie Gopal I look forward to a bright future for her! 10 / 10🌟 chef kiss
סקירה בשפה העברית -
His Saving Grace: The Supernatural Council Series #1 By Kylie Gopal
קיבלתי את העותק הזה עבור סקירה כנה, זהו ספר על טבעי ראשון שלי שקראתי ואני חייבת להגיד שזו הייתה הצלילה הכי טובה שיכולתי לאחל לעצמי עבור ז'אנר חדש.
אז מה יש לנו כאן? להקת אנשי זאב?✅ מנהיגת זיידה נשית חזקה? ✅ זכר אלפא של כל האלפות חזק ועקשן? ✅ הזדמנות שנייה לאהבה? ✅ מה צריך יותר מזה???
לגרייסי היה בן זוג, אהוב, ואז היא איבדה אותו. לאבד את החצי השני שלך.. קשה לי לדמיין את גודל הצער והכאב שהיא נאלצה להתמודד איתם. 🥺💔 גרייסי בת 26 היום והיא מנהיגה את הלהקה. ערב אחד חברתה הטובה ביותר משכנעת אות�� לצאת למועדון להשתחרר ושם היא נתקלת בריח משכר ומיוחד שלא נתקלה מעולם לפני, ריח ששייך לו. הכימיה סחררה אותם ואותי והתמכרתי לרסיסי הרגעים במועדון. כל זה היה אמור להסתיים בלילה חד פעמי, כן... לא בדיוק😉 ריין לא מוכן לוותר על גרייס, והוא מוכן להלחם באש הגיהנום על מנת לזכות בליבה וחיבתה. לזכות בהזדמנות שנייה לאהבה.
אך כאן לא מסתכם הסיפור - הלהקה של ריין מותקפת ע"י ציידים ונבלים. תקיפות מסתוריות, מסרים לצד גופות, מי לעזאזל אחראי לכל זה??? לאורך כל הספר הייתי במתח, המוח שלי עבד שעות נוספות בניסיון לפתור יחד עם ריין וגרייס את התעלומה הגדולה הזאת. כבר לא נשארו לי ציפורניים לכסוס🤣
הספר הזה העביר אותי בכל קשת הרגשות האפשריים לקריאה - מצאתי את עצמי נוהמת כמו זאבה מכעס על דמויות, מייבבת ובוכה ברגעים ששברו את ליבי, מודה הסופרת הצליחה להפתיע אותי עם הפתעות לא צפ��יות. צחקתי חזק (יש מצב שנפלטו גם כמה נחירות אבל לא מוכנה להודות בזה🤫), התאהבתי, התרגשתי, נהניתי!!! זה הכי הכי חשוב! כל כך נהניתי מהספר הזה.
קיילי רקמה פה עלילה מסקרנת, במיוחד שזה ספר פנטזיה ראשון שלי מזה שנים, התאהבתי מחדש בז'אנר 😍 עכשיו אני רוצה לקרוא עוד ועוד ממך, תזכרו את השם קיילי גולאפ אני צופה לה עתיד זוהר! 10/10🌟 chef kiss
It's a straight up 10/10 from me. I still remember that Kylie just started to promote bits & pieces of this book when I just finished the GoodNovel version of the book, and I LOVED that I got into her work at a super great timing!
The book was paced at just a right speed for a published novel, and I loved that I got to fall in love with the main characters, Ryne & Grace, from a different perspective.
If I were to compare with the original version of the story, of course I would say there are aspects of the book that I wished were included in this published re-write. BUT... at the same time, I loved this story as a whole new story anew! Would love to say that if you're a reader of her original version of the story, that it would be best to just not compare and love the story wholly anew by itself as a new series, but I couldn't help it at times because I really enjoyed both books! And like I said - it was all paced just nice for published novel, and the focus was really on the relationship of Grace & Ryne itself.
For instance, I love how Titan was brought up more in this book and we get to really see Grace moving on & healing.
I also deeply love how Alpha Ryne was portrayed in this novel, and I feel he expressed his love for Grace in a more intimate expression of words. My heart really clenched at several parts in the book, and I did feel my heart breaking at certain points as well as tears welling up in my eyes due to how emotional and raw some chapters were.
THE PLOT TWISTS too! Gosh - definitely got me shocked and swiping onto the next pages more in one sitting!
All in all, I felt that the author's portrayal of exploring the relationship between Ryne & Grace and her style of writing to bring this story to life was definitely something I love and enjoy in her work. Their relationship was properly explored in this one book, and her style of writing this book allowed me to vividly imagine some of the scenes in my head, the DETAILS - really down to the right point, even the action scenes!
I am looking forward to reading Book #2 when it releases, Kylie & I just want to encourage you to keep on writing as as passionately as you have been! Plus, also commend you on your effort of trying to get this story to readers all over the world when we face difficulties in obtaining the book. Will be supporting you & your work for a long time as long as you're still writing and pursuing this dream!
Finally, I would definitely recommend this book to you if you're into supernatural romance stories & if you're looking for a book to GET you into this genre, do look no further & pick up a copy of His Saving Grace - you won't regret it!
There were some ideas about this book that I liked, but they weren’t shown, or they felt out of place in the book.
Grace and her friend Dekota go to a club to relax, where Grace meets a man who she thinks is arrogant. The next day Dekota and Grace go to the pack house because there is a guest pack coming and Grace always trains others in the morning, since she is a Zeta. The guest pack arrives and the man from the night before is there. Their relationship gets off on the wrong foot, but then it supposedly develops when they get to his territory.
Grace was fine, but there was nothing to like about her. Ryne’s character was badly written because at the beginning he does something that would instantly make people think that he’s horrible, but after that he’s constantly the one being vulnerable to Grace, asking her about everything, and trying to make her comfortable. So, the action that was supposed to make him look like a villain just seemed forced and like it was done by a different character.
There were a lot of things that I thought would be interesting when they were mentioned, but nothing is ever shown so it didn’t seem like those things even happened. For example, Grace getting to know her new pack and Reinette, Grace and Ryne’s relationship development, Ryne’s relationship with Reinette, Grace’s oh so amazing fighting skills. Some of these were shown more than others, but none of them were shown enough.
I wasn’t a fan of the plot because I was bored. The conflict with Ryne’s mother felt forced, and I didn’t care for how nothing was done about her. It made absolutely no sense.
Of course, there’s ex-drama and I was just waiting for the book to end.
This book could have been fine, maybe even good, but nothing is shown and there were characters that I really didn’t like. I definitely won’t continue with this series, if there does end up being more books, and I probably won’t try other books by this author since I didn’t like how this book was written.
I love reading shifter books because I love all of the different worlds/rules that different authors create when it comes to being a shifter. His Saving Grace definitely included some new rules for wolf/Fae/vampire shifters that I hadn’t read before, and I really liked that. I think one of the things I enjoyed the most was that wolf shifters could have magical gifts because you don’t see that a lot in other books. I hope it’s something that Kylie explores more of in the future.
Now, let’s get into the characters. Ryne is everything you want in an alpha asshole - he’s possessive, territorial, and stubborn. But, when it comes to Grace and Reinette, he’s also loving, caring, and playful. Like any alpha asshole, Ryne knew what he wanted, and he took it. That being said, I loved how he made sure he built Grace up and helped her realize her self worth (she tends to be self sacrificing).
Which brings us to Grace. Grace is a badass warrior who has a self sacrificing issue when it comes to those she loves, but she does know how to stand up for herself. She keeps Ryne on his toes with how often she defies his alpha orders and does her own thing. I loved her character growth throughout this story, and even makes a point toward the end of the story where she recognizes that her way of thinking about herself has changed thanks to Ryne. Also, her and Reinette’s relationship was absolutely adorable, and I’m glad we got to see it.
If you love a second-chance at love, shifter romance, then please give His Saving Grace a try!
*********************************************************** I liked this book way more than I already I thought I would. It was my first supernatural Werwolf story and i enjoyed every second of it!!
It is a paranormal, shifter romance with the following tropes: • fated mates • twist on second chance • forced proximity • dual pov • HEA • Spicy scenes • Alpha male • Strong female
Everything about it was so good!! The plot twists that came truly shocked me. Grace is such a strong fmc that would do anything for the people she loves. Ryne may seem like an alpha asshole but I swear no one loves his partner more than him. Did I also mention that he’s a single dad and that his daughter Reinette is the sweets kid ever <33 The tension between Grace and Ryne was knife cutting from the minute they met and how their romance slowly developed made my heart warm. This book had so many quotes that made my heart ache and left me feel lonely, they were that good!! It had me hooked from page one and I was never able to guess the plot!! The writing style also made it very easy to read. Also the epilogue >> Just go and read this amazing book!!!
Thank you Kylie for sending me your book I’m so excited for the next book in the series ;)
This book was okay. It kept me entertained enough. But I was definitely trying to finish it so I skimmed a lot.
I absolutely did not like how much the h was unable to let go of her past and start healing. I mean, i think it’s okay for her to feel sad, longing, and even guilt about the death of her mate. But it seemed she was no where near moving on at the start of the book. It took at least until 50% of the book for the h to be willing to move on. So it felt like a love triangle for half the book.
The heroine was physically strong, sassy, didn’t take shit from anyone even an alpha. But she was loyal and loved deeply. The Hero was sexy, alpha, and willing to manipulate the h to be his Luna/mate but willing to wait for her to accept him. I think they started feeling in love so fast but maybe it was the mating bond that caused such a reaction?
There were a few things that were not fleshed out completely. For instance, the H said that with his power the h would have power almost equal to his and no one would compare. But nothing happened further. Was this different that her becoming a Luna? But that power was passed down by the previous Luna. Idk 🤷🏻♀️. The council? What’s up with them?
The idea of supernatural power combined with wolfs was a nice idea. But I wished there was more detailed more story about this.
There were a few sexy times in book. 😉
Overall, I’m not sure if I would read a second book in the series.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
The imagery, WOW. You’re immediately immersed into the world of packs, fated-love, and all with so many twists and turns. This has been one of the most intricately planned and written books I’ve ever read. The details were amazing, the characters were so relatable and you find yourself rooting for each one (sometimes rooting for them to die) through the entire book.
I caught myself laughing out loud at so many things, especially Grace’s inner dialog and her so called “smart mouth”, I can always relate to a fmc like that. The dynamic between her and Ryne is aspirational. It wasn’t the typical alpha, force you to stay with me and you grow to accept it, type of relationship. Sure, he was very dominant, but absolutely gave her all the power in terms of accepting him, which was a breath of fresh air. The constant grounding of each other and support to grow together, makes them a truly aspirational power couple. The devastation Grace went through with Titan had me constantly on guard, just waiting for something awful to happen to Ryne or Reinette. When Brielle finally came back in the picture…I wanted to keep hating her. In multiple ways, I probably still do. But wow, just wow. I’m looking forward to completing the series, and seeing maybe what comes of Rio and Reinette.
“I can’t promise you the stars or the moon. I can’t even promise you the world but this, your happy ending, I can promise you that.”
This was a fun, easy, steamy read! We get a fun enemies to fated mates trope here. I loved watching Ryne win over Grace. He was just adorable.
This was also a second chance type of romance that had my heart breaking at certain times, but thankfully, we have a lovely ending.
Kylie wove a fun, intense story together that was action packed and full of adoring romance. As a young, new author, I think she did an awesome job on this book! It is certainly intriguing and easy to fall into, that is for sure.
She definitely has alot of potential and I’m curious to see how she evolves in future books!
My only real complaint is kind of a strange one, when referring to any of the characters eyes, the term “orbs” was always used and my brain kept snagging on that. But that is probably just a strange preference for me that I didn’t know I had!
