Never Ever

Never is snarky. Never is kickass.

An intuitive Were is a rare being and for years Never worked mostly alone, holding onto her baggage and keeping people away. Now after finally dealing with the toxic ex she'd been procrastinating about, she sets her sights on the supernatural government, the Magikai. There is something rotten there, she just knows it. Having been compelled to train her protege in their training facility, she figures it is the perfect opportunity to dig deeper into their goings on.

What she uncovers is more corrupt and bigger than she imagined and now she is determined to pull the corruption down around their ears. This isn't something she can do alone, so it's a good thing she finally opened up enough to admit others into her life. Maybe she does finally understand the power of a good hug.

Never's arc has been great to follow, though to be honest her tendency to procrastinate was a little frustrating at times, despite the fact it likely makes her more relatable. Her snark jumps off the page and Reames' style draws the reader in, with the reader at times being addressed directly. This is in no was disruptive to the reading flow, and a feature I quite enjoyed.

The character's put alongside Never act as a group of perfect foils. They balance Never out, complementing her strengths. They draw out the best in her and allow her to grow and become better.

The journey with Never from her first tracking down the Were who would become her protege, through confronting her past, dealing the her ex, finding a partner who understands and empowers her, and surrounding herself with friends, was well worth it.

Do yourself a favour and go meet Never and her crew.

Please note I received this as an ARC for the purposes of an honest review.
