We see some of our favorite Jaymin Eve tropes like a host of protective males + one female, an unraveling mystery, love, and possibly true mates.It's a fun story, and I liked the base storyline concept. Thrown into a new society where Emma is a bottom feeder, she has to navigate a new neighborhood as well as a new school, both with politics and class issues. I felt this book had elements of Twilight [surroundings, teen protag thrown into a new school with a group everyone reveres but who also repel], the Supernatural Prison series, and the Walker Saga but it stood on its own.Our mystery involves the disappearance of Emma's guardians, plus the people who live on Daelight, the gated, and strange community where Emma's family moved. Nothing is what it seems and Emma is thrown into a scenario she wasn't prepared for. Her wits and spunk help her survive. When thrown into uncomfortable situations, Emma uses sarcasm coupled with intelligence and stands up for herself. I love the back and forth between her and Jero, especially when she calls out him out for his behavior. Her relationships with Star and Marsil are sweet, and I like the dynamic with Lexen. Her non-elite friends are also fun, adding a bit of humor and comparison for the unusual world of Elites Emma finds herself in. I felt this book provided us with an ending to the current goings on while leaving it open for a sequel. Jaymin always leaves us wanting more, but doesn't leave us unfulfilled with the current storyline.To sum up, the things I love:- The protagonists take no crap attitude, especially when it comes to how guys treat her. She allows them to be men and be protective which gives them what they want and need but doesn't let it take away from her independence and ability to take care of herself.- The wit and sarcasm throughout the book.- Numerous personality types with multiple layers, something for which I feel Jaymin has a natural talent and which you don't always see in a lot of young adult books. Or adult books for that matter.- The deep bonds people develop, albeit some are a little fast for my taste.- Overarching storyline is interesting.- Intrigue, action, humor, and love.Things I'm not overly fond of:- The speed at which people bond in romantic scenarios. I can't go into this further without spoiling things.- Mates is a theme throughout the author's books, and it's fun, but I'd like to see more mystery with it or just to have two people who learn to love each other over time. The mates thing is expected now [which doesn't make it a particularly bad thing. It does make it predictable.]- This one has become a huge pet peeve for me for some reason, and I acknowledge that. Use of the word 'somehow' in places it doesn't need to be and which takes away from whatever is going on. I searched for examples to show here, and it came up 55 times. - Examples: "They took in a grieving, broken mess of human and somehow provided me with what I needed to claw my way from the darkness." "She was a few inches taller than my five foot eight, but somehow still looked small next to the boys." - I realize this is my issue and it's not a huge offense by any means. 'Somehow' has appeared in the last few books from Jaymin but in this one, it was prevalent. Some of the time it worked, but in most cases, it felt unnecessary or like a placeholder for another description.Overall, I liked this book, and I'm looking forward to the next installment. Jaymin is a talented storyteller, and I always enjoy her books, regardless of personal peeves. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Good Read *by N***E on Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2023* This book is a paranormal, urban fantasy with mystical beings and a go-getter protagonist.
