Big Bad Claws

The mix of paranormal romance and sci-fi feels fresh here. I'm curious what sparked the concept of alien lovers with such intense chemistry.

The story had me laughing at times but also kept me on the edge of my seat. How did the author decide when to dial up the humor versus the suspense?

The claws and other powers felt so integral to their personalities. Wondering if these traits were planned from the start or evolved during writing.
