Thrillers or mystery books stress me out but I still really liked this! I think it would be 5 stars if it wasn’t for all the anxiety this book gave me 😩 love Vince and f everyone else. Also was anyone else getting incest vibes with Adeline I mean she was about to get naked with her NEPHEW what the hell

This book was really well written. I liked everything about it. It was dark, and mysterious. It had some plot twists that I didn’t expect and the ending was perfect! The characters were given backstories and stuff that really helped you feel a little something. Also the concept was very different, and not like anything I’d read before.

It’s a really interesting story, especially lore wise. The plot twist is exceptional. I just found the writing a bit clunky, it didn’t flow nicely for me. I also do have a hard time with moral bankrupt main characters, so if you also hate that I wouldn’t suggest. 

Low Fantasy, Romance Subplot, 1/2 🔥
