There is so much diverse representation within this book and so much backstory about the members of the Mistvale Clan!
From the blurb:
Miles always thought he’d find his mate before his twin. What he didn’t expect was for Mateo to be the one to introduce them… or for his mate to be a duck.
Miles
When I sent Mateo to pick out a pet for us from the local shelter, I expected to come home to a cat or dog. Instead, he introduced me to a duck who wasn't just a shifter, but also my mate, and refused to shift into human form.
Winning over someone who wouldn’t shift wasn’t easy, but I didn't give up. With my twin, my family, and my clan behind me, I was determined to make Duckie feel safe enough to trust me.
Duckie
It had been ages since I’d been around other supes, let alone in a town full of them. But no matter how kind everyone was, I couldn’t bring myself to shift. It was too dangerous—at least, that’s what I kept telling myself.
But Miles wouldn’t give up on me. Mateo made me laugh. And Mistvale, with its dragon protector, felt like the safest place I’d ever known. Maybe, just maybe, I could finally belong.
Miles’s Pact is a cozy MM paranormal romance featuring a patient owl shifter, a cautious duck shifter, and the twin who platonically loves them both. With low angst, found-family magic, and plenty of heart, this story is like a warm cup of cocoa for the soul!
Note: While this book is an MM romance between Miles and Duckie, Mateo shares a deep platonic bond with both and has a couple of POVs.
Angel's review:
I've been reading the books about Mistvale, and the spinoffs, for a while now and have enjoyed reading them. I always know that they are going to be full of sweetness and found family goodness, and this one was exactly that.
When Miles and Mateo first met Duckie, their mate, he was in his shifter form which just so happens to be a duck. Gradually overtime he becomes comfortable enough to shift into his human form and I think that was when this story really took off.
I have to say that even though Duckie was in his animal form for the beginning of the book, he was still a very important part of the story. He was still able to communicate with the twins because of their mate bond, and Alex found a way to communicate with him in a different way. (Which was so sweet!)
I liked how there was Aroace rep, Mateo's character and his relationship dynamic with Duckie was refreshing and unique. I haven't come across too many books where there is Aroace rep plus also showcasing a platonic bond and relationship similar to the one Duckie and Mateo formed.
All in all, I thought this story was another great addition to Mistvale. I do think that for me certain parts did get a bit repetitive and a little redundant, but overall the story was nice to read.
Miles's Pact is currently available as an e-book and paperback
