I want to adore this book but it was … okay.

Meyer is one of my fave authors so I’d hoped I’d love this, but I didn’t. It felt like the story took a while to get going yet the characters were progressing so quickly into relationships, even when they had met on 2 days out of 2 months.

The last 100 pages or so wee quite enjoyable in itself, quick and constantly leaving me wanting to know more. But the rest? I’m not quite sure.

No spoilers, but it has one of the tropes I dislike near the end so maybe perhaps that’s why I didn’t enjoy it as much as I wanted to. 

I have mixed feelings about this one, but I do think I’ll buy the sequel to see what happens.

Brutal but beautifully written classic horror fairytale with undead, monsters, witches and faery folk,  tricks and tales of love and lost worlds .. Adventures and passing through the veil with the wild hunt under the full moons... Trigger warnings: children and innocents violently killed.

HELLO YES THIS WAS WONDERFUL AND FANTASTIC AND somehow I missed that it's a series?????????


Absolutely LOVED it, but was very taken aback when I got to the end and realized.... the story isn't over.

My love of fairy tale retellings is back and I am so happy that this book was perfect!

WOW. This book was SO good and it's such a perfect spooky October read! Super immersive, I got sucked into the world of Serilda from page one. I love all the characters, the romance was adorable, and the macabre details were just so cool! I didn't realize this was the first book though so now I'm in AGONY
