What a whirlwind! Not sure why i’m always skeptical if i’ll like another SJM series because i get so attached to the last one. Surprised yet not surprised that I liked this start equally as much as ACOTAR and TOG (and side note: I’m glad I read it in the recommended order of the former then the latter then this). First 100 pages are confusing but trust me the juice is worth the squeeze. Modern romantasy murder mystery that kept me guessing. Emotional whiplash in the last two parts of the book. Crying in the last 100 pages should be expected at this point. Great setup for the next one.

The pacing is painfully slow. If you need something to read to help you fall asleep at night, you’re in luck.

Honestly, the second time reading this was even more fun than the first. I really picked up on the small kernels of info that SJM spreads throughout the book by re-reading it. This book contains one of my favorite scenes I’ve read in any book so far, and is the only book to make me bawl like a baby. Such a heartfelt ending ♥️
