⭐⭐⭐⭐ Was I hooked by that book? Yes (mostly) and no. It has excellent world-building and wonderfully fully developed characters, but it was a lot of information to absorb all in one book.
BLURB
Quinn is a witch living in a parallel realm of witches, werewolves, vampires, sirens, and a plethora of other-worldly creatures. Humans are in the minority and live in towns that are considered safe places for them. Quinn’s familiar, her talking cat, had stealthily snuck her a love potion, which works just to draw her fated true love to her, it can’t actually make them fall in love. And this is how Ian found himself pulled through the portal on Halloween night, the one day of the year when the portal opens between these two realms. Quinn rescues him from a crazy werewolf and helps him to adjust to his new environment until he can return to the human world in a year’s time.
MY THOUGHTS
Like the title, this is quite a complicated and long story. The world-building is truly excellent, I just had to say it twice. A great variety of creatures get introduced, some with intricate back-stories and motivations, and it was easy to keep up with it all. In the end, nothing was as it seemed at the start. I really liked Quinn and Ian, and even Quinn’s smart-alecky cat.
I think this sets up the world and the characters beautifully for further books in this series. And I would love to read the next one. This is quite an interesting and different take on humans interacting with paranormal or fantasy creatures.
Thank you to the author for providing me with a copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I”m glad you liked this book, and hopefully, the next books in the series will have less information to absorb all in one book.
Probably. This one had a lot of background info for many characters. They all sound very cool, though.
I’m not familiar with this author, but you have me interested. I might wait until book two is out though. Then I can read them back to back. Wonderful review.
Thanks! Yes, I was pleasantly surprised.
