Review: Black & White

Black & White by Vinni George
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Grumpy orca shifter meets chaos gremlin hacker in a clever, low-angst fated mates romance with a splash of danger.

This book was a fun surprise! Nero, the stoic orca shifter bounty hunter, is the ultimate grump—and I loved watching him slowly unravel thanks to Felix, the brilliant, snarky hacker who suddenly finds himself part of a shifter world he never expected. Their dynamic is sweet, full of banter and awkward tension, and honestly kind of adorable.

The plot had great pacing, balancing action and shifter-world intrigue with relationship development. I especially loved the found family vibes from Nero’s team—the camaraderie, protectiveness, and dry humor made the book feel like a cozy supernatural heist movie.

I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 only because I wanted more heat or emotional punch in the romance. Their bond was clear, but the chemistry sometimes felt soft when I was craving a little more spark or angst.

Still, this was such a fun read with a unique shifter twist, and I’ll absolutely be diving into the rest of the ORCA series!
