Elias Hart has carved out a corner of my rib cage and settled in without permission.
And I… I don’t know how to make him leave.
Or if I even want to.
This was a sweet story. It was cute how the grumpy sasquatch, Boone, was the one who fell first. He watched biologist Elias from afar for a few years, helping him out in little ways. Elias could sense something was out there helping him but never knew what it was. I loved how accepting and curious Elias was when they finally did meet. It wasn’t fated mates or anything, but there was definitely an instant connection between the two. They were both so caring and protective of one another. A lot of the story was just full of cozy moments between them as they got to know each other. I thought maybe there might be more action or danger, but it was very tame in that regard.
There were a few plot points I wasn’t sure about, but the coolest part, for me, was how Boone’s connection to the land was portrayed. The forest was a living, breathing thing, and Boone clearly belonged to it. Elias may not have had the same relationship with the forest as Boone did, but he had his own respect for it, and it was easy to see him fitting seamlessly into Boone’s world.
I thought the logistics of a human being with a sasquatch were also handled well. I’m not really up on my sasquatch lore, so I’m not sure if this is typical, but Boone had some very creative anatomy that helped in this department!
We met a lot of other cryptids in the book, many who will be featured in the other books in the series, and they were interesting as well. I’m kind of curious to see how the other authors keep building out this shared world.
