Such a satisfying conclusion to a long story arc. I liked having more insight into Asha, and I found myself identifying with her a lot. Glad to see her and Hemalo work it out, glad to see her learn to live with her grief, and to find a friend in Claire. ( )

Asha and Hemalo's story, with Claire's POV as well. Cute story, it was interesting to read in the POV of two sa-khui characters instead of one sa-khui and one human. ( )

Nice to have a POV of one of the alien females. ( )

i was more into these last two second chance stories than i thought i’d be!! ( )

Asha, Hemalo
This book is amazing. Its part of a series and will make much more sense if you read it in order. Asha and Hemalo.
We know a little of Asha from previous books, we know she was a flirt before she resonated and she and Hemalo lost a kit. She is not particularly liked by the human females and she can be bitter and lash out, so much so her mate Hemalo left.
This story is so clever, the loss of a child could and has led to many couples, who have been together years struggling to the point of break up, but we learn that Asha and Hemalo didn't know each other very well so it is then not suprising that neither of them knew how to help each other deal with such a great loss.
This book is Multiple POV, Asha and Hemalo but also Claire. This is very, very clever, as humans we have dealt with loss more than our blue aliens and also the humans in this book have lost much and have had to adjust to massive changes in their lives. They also have had to get used to the idea of resonance and that at times it is not always wanted or timely so Claire's perspective helps us understand Asha.
There are some very funny moments that are caused by 'lost in translation' conversations, esp those about Santa. But also there are some very sad and emotional moments as Asha and Hemalo learn to deal with each other, their past loss and if they have a future.
We have some insights into other members of the tribe but i won't explain not to spoil anything.
This feels as though it is my favorite but i think that at the end of each new book.
