3 Novellas - 3 different FMC/MMCs

I usually do a more plot depth review but with the three different stories it would be too hard. City of magical beings, follows three different couples as they navigate various threats to their lives/positions.

I loved these novellas, I have adhd and these were like immediate dopamine hits. Alessa is one of my fave authors, I like the way she writes her characters. They typically have a lot of depth, grow together and apart, and both have their own strength rather than one relying a lot on the other (ie damsel).

MMCs were all very possessive with their FMCs. Tropes like true mates, grumpy/sunshine, age gaps, forced proximity, rich hero/poor heroine, insta-love, revenge, light ish third act-breakups (I hate this trope but it was done well), No pregnancy’s no cheating no ow/om. There is mention of torture and sa, nothing too descript. Spice is a sold 4.5, fantastic as always with this author. Lots of tension and good feelings. Each character had their own unique personalities, all the characters had different goals and wants, and were supportive of each other.

I really liked the narrator especially the voices she did for the third couple, idk what it was but the personality of the wolf just went with that voice (slightly deeper tone than other fmcs imo) and it was perfect. MMC voices were done well, sometimes a naturally higher pitched voice can’t do deeper very well but Paige nailed it, even with the spicy scenes no cringe at all (which sometimes happens with women narrating male characters).

This is limited third person POV so it switches between MMC/FMC primary perspective.
