![]() ![]() ![]() The entire setup was all told in retrospect, summarized in a couple lines, and encompassed what the official description says the book is about and more. The buildup and development of the conflict was completely missing. The book is upfront about it probably not making much sense if one hasn't read the rest of the San Andreas Shifters series as it is over the course of those books that the relationship develops, if only in the background, but even having read it multiple times and rather recently, I found it hard to get any sort of emotional connection to the book and characters. The mood is bittersweet and atmospheric, and while it's not quite as humorous as the author's other works, the usual snark does eventually come through. So was simply getting to know a bit more about Lovejoy himself and how he sees the world. Seeing Lovejoy and Mana together, and reading about their relationship and how they work was lovely. I was so stoked about Lovejoy and Mana getting their own short story, but I must say it didn't quite live up to expectations. ![]()
