My review:

4/5 stars

A fast, interesting shifter romance read with a dual POV (always a treat in a romance!); definitely a good time for those who enjoy shifter stories.

I liked the characters; we have a spunky protagonist in Morgan, and other feisty females, and a kind and gentle alpha in Luke. Morgan has a fun personality (despite having been mistreated by everyone around her her whole life - "regret and daddy issues"🤧😳), and has a façade of badassery (which she is; a girl does not go down without a fight, and she is soo resilient) yet is soft and sensitive inside; meanwhile, Luke (who is definitely swoon-worthy) is like the reverse of her - a gentle giant type, with coiled power rippling under the surface, commanding awe and respect for his warm heart and powerful might and leadership both.

The writing is quippy and made me chuckle at times. I also liked the fast pace and quick action, though I did feel at times that it went a bit too blindingly fast; I would have liked more scenes with Luke and Morgan alone to develop their budding romance, and certain scenes that were meant to be emotionally-charged felt impersonal because of how frenzied the pace is.

It also felt kinda info-dumpy at the beginning, but it did help to quickly establish rules and the world so we could dive quickly and with full comprehension into the action - pack secrets, mysterious deaths, powerful magic and threats.

It'd leave you eagerly anticipating the sequel to see just how they navigate all the revelations and threats going forward!

DENVER — Shane Wright and a few top NHL Entry Draft prospects had just spent a few star-struck minutes watching Nathan MacKinnon of the Colorado Avalanche sprint around the ice before Game 2 of the Stanley Cup final. When asked if they would be willing to put their NHL ambitions on hold for another year of development at the major-junior level, they scowled.

Do you want to wait another year?

If given the opportunity, the majority of them would have put on their blades and played Saturday night if it had been possible.

They may have been saying what they thought their future employers wanted to hear with the draft less than a month away. On the other hand, who knows? Maybe they truly believe their adolescent bodies can make it onto an NHL roster. However, there is a significant difference between playing in the NHL and making an impact in the league.

To be honest, none of these prospects are likely to jump in right now. And it has less to do with the draft class' quality this year and more to do with the benefits of patience, which are evident throughout this year’s final.

Sure, Steven Stamkos and Victor Hedman, as well as Gabriel Landeskog and Nathan MacKinnon, all went straight from the draft floor right to the NHL and never looked back. However, those are the exceptions. Other players, such as Mikko Rantanen, Valeri Nichushkin and Nazem Kadri, had a more difficult time transitioning.

Then there are players like Cale Makar, Brayden Point and Ryan McDonagh, who took two or three years to develop at their own pace before making it to the NHL.

Bednar knows what he is talking about. The Avalanche selected Makar fourth overall in 2017 and then had to wait two years to get their hands on him after watching him dominate at the college level. He won the Calder Trophy as a rookie. He is a finalist for the Norris Trophy two years later.

That appears to be the mindset of an increasing number of teams.

Last season, No. 1 overall pick Owen Power returned to the University of Michigan for another season before making his NHL debut in the final month. It was the first time since Erik Johnson's first-round selection in 2006 that a first-round pick didn’t immediately enter the NHL. With recent top picks like Alexis Lafreniere (2020), Jack Hughes (2019) and Nico Hischier (2017), it is easy to argue that more should have followed that path.

Perhaps that is why Cutter Gauthier, the third-best North American skater, has already committed to Boston College for next season, despite having the size to play in the NHL at 6 foot 2, 189 pounds.

When asked if Power and Makar’s decision to return to college would make it easier to return to the Kingston Frontenacs for another season, Wright said it’s unfair to compare himself to them because they are both defencemen.

Is Wright confident that if the Montreal Canadiens use the first overall pick on him, he will be ready to play right away?

Book Of The Week

Title: Untamed Magic(Academy of the Elites #1)

Author: Alexis Calder

Pages:139

Synopsis: My name is Raven Winters and I’m a mage. Who knew? When I somehow summon fire in an act of self defense, I’m given two choices by the magic cops: attend some stuck-up magic school, or go to magic jail. Well, shit. There go my plans for the next year. Apparently, I have Untamed Magic, whatever the hell that means. And I’ve got a year to get it under control at this magic academy that’s basically a finishing school for the elite. Everyone here is somebody important. And rich. Except for me. Which paints quite the target on my back. Being the token poor kid is bad enough. Throw in that I somehow form a mating bond with four of the school’s most eligible bachelors. Oh yeah, and add in the fact that someone is trying to kill me. FML.
