This book had me hooked from chapter one. I finished it in three hours and I wish I could go back and read it for the first time again. Strong FMC? Check! True Villain MMC? Check??? Steamy? Check! A plot twist that I wasn’t expecting? Check!!!!
It is a dark romance so if that is not your thing you might want to keep scrolling. This is your warning. Caly is a young biologist who has lived with a secret her entire life. Animals have always been drawn to her and what's even more strange is that they seem to understand her when she speaks to them. When she talks to the town drunk she quickly finds herself standing in a circle of mushrooms in a forest. Little did she know taking those steps would alter her life forever, whether it is for the better or not? Turning the pages will only tell. This is a book that I couldn’t keep to myself and I hope you fall in love with Caly and Mendax just like I did. As Jeneane said in her dedication to her readers, “ To you. My hope is not that you finish this book, but that this book finishes you.” And boy was she right!
Quotes
How does it feel? he said, breathing heavily. To know that I love you and that you have doomed me? That you and only you have the power to disarm and debilitate me. That you, a human, have dismantled every part of me and rebuilt it as a shrine in your honor.
To you. My hope is not that you finish this book, but that this book finishes you.
Wait to go until dead so that I never have to feel the pain of you leaving.
