This is the third short story I’ve read from author J. Scott Coatsworth and all three have very different. This is the story of Aldiss and Hari; and their individual journey to come together as one. Aldiss is fighting his survivor’s guilt and the responsibility for everyone left on his ship. When we meet Hari he is dealing with turmoil within his pack and the hostility that comes along with that.

It took me a while to get into this story and think it was because it felt a bit choppy at times. I am not sure if the length played a part in that but the characters felt a little disconnected to me. As the story progressed I was super surprised at the turn it took, the characters came alive within the story. Even with the slow start it picked up quickly and provided a great story for it’s readers. The story was well written and it provided good entertainment for me while I read. I will say that this is a mix of science fiction and paranormal romance; so if this is the type of genre you like pick up this book.
