Mild spoilers ahead.
This was the weirdest shifter/rejected mate book that I’ve read.
Dominic seriously rejected Tess just because she was small, so he assumed she was weak. We don’t ever see her recover or heal from anything. It jumps three years into the future right after the rejection.
When they meet again, he’s rude, doesn’t want her, keeps her locked up, he’s honestly rather unstable.
Then the shift in behavior from Alpha d*ck only after he’s been summoned by the Luna Sovereign is ridiculous. Not to mention, his inner monologue is seriously so back and forth, I’m starting to wonder if he’s got some kind of personality disorder. Oh, and of course he completely changed his mind and desperately wants the mate he so callously rejected once he finds out how powerful she really is.
As for Tess, I couldn’t be more disappointed. She talks a big game, but melts into Dominic any time he initiates any intimate act, does what he says, and is pretty much a doormat. He never did anything to redeem himself or prove himself. She just jumped right in with him. Said one thing in her stupid inner monologue, but did the opposite. She’s weak. The jump from second rejection to suddenly marking and mating was out of nowhere.
This book was just so weird.
As a shifter, you can heal a broken limp in minutes, some have magical powers, but yet, you can get cancer and die?
Also, who just keep a lock on the outside of their bedroom door?
Only the males mark the females? It doesn’t ever explain that, but Tess never marks Dominic back.
For such a long and drawn out book, it didn’t actually cover much of anything. It was a rather disappointing read.
