Such a fun and only slightly frustrating read! I absolutely adored the MC here. Nate's sense of snarky, self deprecating humor is simply fantastic and makes all the trauma loosely concealed behind it all the more tragic. He made me laugh so many times, even when he was in the middle of some pretty disturbing shit, and I totally relate to the coffee addiction. I do wish he spent a little less time fainting though. Surely there were other possible outcomes for at least half of al the supernatural mishaps that befall him.

While Nate climbed fast on my list of favorite characters, Ian, the LI, didn't really follow. I found him too illogical and erratic, though I'll admit he had some sweet moments. Perhaps if there were some chapters in his POV shedding light on his motivations, I'd be more partial to him. I hope that maybe some of the later books in this series (which I'm definitely continuing) will help me to get to know him better, even if just as a side character.

Overall, I loved the snark, the banter, and the enemies-to-lovers dynamic, though I kind of expected the enemies part to start dwindling sooner. On the other hand, the book does take place over just a few days. The setting is a fun paranormal kitchen sink, though I'm still murky on some details despite all the infodumps, the plot twists were all interesting if not too hard to predict, and there are some side characters here that totally steal the show. Looking forward to more Mismatched Mates adventures!
