4⭐️ 3🌶️
MOOD: emotional, hopeful, reflective
TROPES: touch him & die
GENRES: contemporary romance, monster romance
FAV QUOTE: And he is just as hot as when he had wings. But not hotter, so there are some new kinks I now know I have.

MAIN CHARACTERS: Jeffrey (human) & Odai (incubus/djinn)
TAROT CARD: The High Priestess 

THE GOOD: This is the first book I read in this 22-book series. The focus is on duality or two versions of one's self and maybe finding a balance. Jeffrey and Odai have their own internal extremes and then can also be seen as extremes given that one is a young human and the other an ageless djinn. The setting is realistic with a hint of magic and the side characters are believable and add to the story. I enjoyed following Jeffrey and Odai's story - both their romance and their individual character arcs.
THE NEUTRAL: While it is dual POV - which I liked - all the chapters are named for Jeffrey. It could have just been in the copy I received since it was an ARC but I found that odd cause looking at the table of contents I thought it was just one POV. I guess I would have just preferred the chapters to have numbers then and just labels for whoever's point of view it was when that section came up
THE MEH: No spoilers here, but I wasn't a fan of the wrap-up, so it isn't 5 stars. Not the ending-ending but what happens right before that.

CW: sexual content with unique anatomy, gender and sexuality discussions, historical representations of sex workers
DISCLAIMER: I received an advance review copy. This is my honest review.
