Synopsis: New York Times bestselling author of The Night Huntress series Jeaniene Frost returns with a brand-new series! It’s Beauty and the Beast meets The Witcher, except Beauty IS the Beast, and he’s the Warden keeping mythical beings in check in our world and beyond.
Raine Stone is living a nightmare. Ever since she survived the attack that killed her family, she's been hiding a terrible secret--and a Beast inside her.
It feeds on violence and chaos, but she restrains its urges by playing vigilante on the city streets. Until one night, Raine uses the Beast’s energy to heal an elderly gentleman from a seemingly random attack and discovers a new world of danger—literally.
Remington “Remy” Byrne knows the wall between a realm of deadly mythic creatures and our own world is very fragile. After all, he’s the Warden who guards the gateways between them. Raine’s Beast contains power that could tip the scales in a sinister plot against Remy’s rule—if she allies with him.
Will they be friends or foes…or will their dangerous attraction turn into something else? And can our world be saved by their explosive alliance?

My Review:
I’m not even going to lie, this one almost lost me in the beginning. I picked it up on audio, and while the narrator was fine overall, the male voice just did not work for me. It completely threw off the vibe, especially for a leading man. Instead of giving that strong, swoony energy you expect, it was more like little old man grandpa. But I kept going, and I’m so glad I did.
Once I got past that initial issue, the story completely took over. The world building was so much fun, especially with the mix of familiar creatures and new ones that added something fresh to the story. I loved how immersive everything felt, and it didn’t take long before I was fully locked in. The romance really worked for me too. The chemistry felt natural, and the spice fit the story without overpowering it. It added to the connection instead of distracting from it, which I always appreciate.
What really got me though was the characters. I ended up falling in love with all of them, especially the main couple. Their dynamic kept me invested, and by the end, I was completely hooked on where this series is going next. Even with the audio issues at the start, this turned into such a solid read for me. I already know I need a physical copy on my shelf, and I will absolutely be picking up the next book the second I can.
