Wächterin des Blutes

The world-building around shapeshifting felt so vivid and layered. I'm curious if the author drew from mythology, personal imagination, or other sources.

The chemistry between characters was undeniable, but their inner struggles added so much complexity. Did this make the emotional stakes more real for others?

The pacing between suspense and intimacy was seamless, but I wonder if that was a conscious choice or evolved naturally during writing.
