At just under 50 pages, this was such a fun little HEA palate cleanser! While there was still some tension and danger, it was a much lighter read than I’m used to, which was honestly exactly what I needed.

The story follows Marisol, who is willing to risk it all after one fateful experience. She’s determined to reach the Wishing Sun, even if getting there means putting her life on the line, because technically – it already is. But when her attempt goes awry, Neo comes to her rescue… and quickly realizes Marisol is his mate. 🐙❤️

Suddenly, Marisol has a kraken who cooks for her, protects her, adores her, and is completely certain she belongs with him. And really, there are worse problems to have. 😂

But Marisol hasn’t forgotten why she was willing to risk her life in the first place. Her deadline is looming and her feelings for Neo grow. What good is finding love if you aren’t around to enjoy it?

And somehow, in fewer than 50 pages, we don’t just get an HEA for Marisol and Neo, but the possibility of happier futures for so many others, too.

It’s short. It’s sweet. There are tentacles. 🐙 What more do you need to know?
