This is a really interesting concept but it is all over the place. It was a short read that really needed to be longer. It felt like so many details were missing. The world feels like it is lacking information. With all the gaps in detail it was hard to really feel engaged in the story.I likes Mia but was very confused about how she knew so little about supernatural things. It was also unclear how long she had her powers, why nobody ion her family knew she and her grandmother were witches. It also seemed she feared discovery, that was never really fleshed out either.Ethan is another quandary. The backstory is missing big chunks. What exactly was the promise her made to her brother, what was the story behind his parents death and what happens now with the whole wolfie thing?I did enjoy their dynamic, when they were not fighting their attraction. It was great having the mixed narrative. Getting both of their POV really helped lend insight into their relationship. They each said and did things contrary to what they were thinking. It is also clearly marked who is the narrator of each section.Another downside is it is written first person, I kinda hate that. It makes the switch from Mia to Ethan weird. It really broke up the flow. First person is not my favorite in fiction, it is better suited to memoirs.I am interested in reading more of the series but hope things get fleshed out more, so much of this world is a question mark. I am also curious what is up with her brother. And I am always up for more shifter romances, the smexy Alpha's son is a prime candidate for a HEA!!Disclosure - I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
