The story beautifully balances humor—including a hilarious motorboating incident and the mischievous raccoon Zorro who boldly steals sandwiches while locking eyes with his victims—and heartfelt themes like grief, resilience, and the power of found family.
Luna Foster’s journey to build Sage & Summit, a sanctuary for broken things, especially resonated with me. It’s inspiring to see how she channels grief and stubbornness into creating a safe space where healing begins. The way the story explores the forming of a found family reminds me of how connections often come unexpectedly and profoundly shape our lives.
Zorro, the two-week-old raccoon, adds a delightful chaos to the narrative. His fierce personality and boundary-defying antics bring humor and life to the sanctuary, showing how sometimes the smallest creatures can leave the biggest marks on our hearts. This novella perfectly captures the nuances of care, survival, and companionship—both human and animal.
For anyone who loves stories with emotional depth wrapped in dark romance and sprinkled with dramatic irony, this prequel is a must-read. It sets the stage for the larger Watched in Darkness world, promising thrilling developments ahead. What captivated me most was the portrayal of friendship that truly holds an entire world together—a reminder of how essential support networks are, especially through tough times.
If you enjoy immersive storytelling where characters build and rebuild their worlds amidst chaos and hope, I highly recommend giving this novella a read. It’s a poignant reminder that even in darkness, connection and care can create a new kind of home.
