5 stars I really enjoy Annie Nicholas' paranormal romance stories and I'm always excited when I receive an ARC. Some of the stories have been a bit shorter than I might have preferred, but this one takes the time to fully explore the relationship between Daedalus and Sugar, along with their personal thoughts and insecurities and love for one another. In previous books, I had not noticed the Nosferatu sense of humor but I loved this exchange with Pallas: He glared at Pallas. "What am I doing wrong?" "Do you want my list in alphabetical order or in order of priority?" This shouldn't be a spoiler because it's not entirely unpredictable that it would have come to this, since Sugar's health had been failing for some time, but Daedalus finds himself faced with the prospect of allowing Sugar to die or changing her. Like Daedalus, I had hoped that Sugar would come around to the idea on her own, but she seemed intent on denying the benefits so I think she needed to be pushed. In fact, she recognized this near the end when she thought to herself: "After the attack, she felt like her life was over so she didn't bother living. Funny how it took dying for her to see that mistake. She wouldn't let this second chance go to waste." Although Daedalus had been forced to change Sugar against her wishes, there was never any doubt that she would forgive him. They loved each other too much. I absolutely recommend this book and might go so far as to say it's one of Annie Nicholas' best. August 14, 2020
