Blade (Legends)

Here's Shaw Montgomery's "Blade." It's a novel in the multi-author series, Legends ("where National Parks hold secrets—and monsters steal hearts").

["Hunting The Beast of Bladenboro was supposed to be foolproof. It wasn’t a sentient creature I could have coffee with or chat with online. It wasn’t running an online jewelry store or complaining about how humans ruin the national parks. It wasn’t even on the list for the Solstice Festival.

It should’ve been a real monster I could save people from.

It wasn’t.

Somehow I had the worst luck of any monster hunter ever…and getting trapped in my own net was just the start. Things might be improving, though, as long as I can count finding my murder kitty, saving my mate from being trapped forever, and falling in love…yeah…things might be improving. Fingers crossed."]

Ha, I thought Henley would be a little more…less sunshine-y and kind and utterly too adorable for his own good. From the blurb, I somehow got a totally different vibe for who Henley is. So I hesitated reading this one; though in reality, I spent much of this book fan-girl giggling and feet-kicking. Who goes from fearing your own life to adopting a cryptid in less than five minutes? Henley. Then again, Blade was gone for his mate even after (see second chapter). 

After...the initial mystery was solved, the plot pacing dropped a little, which makes sense. But their bond and planning their future kept it steady enough. These two were adorable as fuuuck. 

Trigger Warnings: magic spells gone wrong, toxic family members, bad humans, bad witches, and more.
