ARC REVIEW
Wild and Wicked Things blends witchcraft and 1920s Gatsbyesque glamour in a dark and enchanting story. The writing in this was really beautiful and descriptive and really transported you to this place full of dark magic and glamorous parties. The characters were charming and there was a great inclusion of sapphic leads which I really enjoyed. The pace was quite slow and I felt it could have been edited down a bit in my opinion but overall I enjoyed it. It was very magical and dark with a story that took many twists.
I especially recommend listening to the audiobook along with it. The voice actors are very talented and manage to add a special charm to the characters that reading it alone you might miss. They also do a good job of emphasizing the emotion in the scenes. The audiobook had multiple voice actors as well as atmospheric music that furthered the immersion and transported right into the story.
