The characters' hangups were believable and made sense. I'm curious to see how things will play out for the side characters when they get their books. I liked the alternative history of the setting and the interesting backstories. And there was good chemistry in the relationship. I think I'll go back and read some of the previous series which are already out. ( ) This is the first volume of a new Hexworld series by this author, and the first Hexworld book I've personally read. The story takes place during prohibition in an alternate universe where m/m romance is widely accepted and shapeshifters/magic exists openly. Sam is a country bumpkin type who has run away from his home to start a new life with his black sheep cousin. Unfortunately, only weeks after his arrival in Chicago, Sam's cousin is brutally murdered by, apparently, a gang lord. Allister is a shapeshifting cheetah who comes into Sam's life unexpectedly and grudgingly becomes his ally and protector. This was a cute romance with a bit of murder and mayhem. I figured out the "who done it" part pretty early on in the story so wasn't really very surprised how it worked out. There were lots of loose ends left which I assume the author will start to tie up in future stories. Overall, I enjoyed it, but for me, Griffin and Whyborne (also by this author) will always be the top standard that all other fantasies, m/m romances are compared to. I think I've been spoiled. I’m too lazy to give my thoughts a proper form (also, who cares, time is a flat circle and all that), so can my deep sigh of satisfaction serve as a review? I mean, it’s a wonderful book with a romance between two absolutely lovely characters. I think I went “Nice nice nice” a couple of times. Out loud. And look, as a person who for about a month or so has been consuming gory and/or buckwild manhwa exclusively, I think I forgot how soothing it is to actually read a proper romance. 5/5 for “So... fluffy” geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)The Pride (1)
1924, Chicago. Prohibition is in full swing and gang bosses rule the city with might--and magic. When Sam Cunningham flees his small-town life to try his luck in the big city of Chicago, he quickly finds himself in over his head in a world of gangs, glitz, and glamour. Fortunately, he has his cousin Eldon to teach him the trade of hex-making. Everything changes the night Sam visits The Pride speakeasy and meets grumpy cheetah-shifter Alistair Gatti. After losing his first witch to the horrors of the World War, Alistair isn't interested in any new entanglements, romantic or magical. Especially when said entanglement comes in the form of kind, innocent Sam. When Eldon is brutally murdered, Sam becomes drawn into the dark underworld of the Chicago gangs. Sam must find the missing hex Eldon created for one of the crime bosses--before whoever killed Eldon comes back for him. Together, Alistair and Sam begin the search for the mysterious hex, diving deep into the seedy side of Chicago's underworld while dodging rival gangs. And as they come to rely on one another, Alistair realizes he's falling for the one man he can't afford to love. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
