Really enjoyed this on audio!! The narrator was amazing. This is outside of what I typically read, but I definitely want to read more of this author in the future!

Wow. This book was amazing. I couldn’t put it down! I found it browsing on this app, looking for a new read…I’m so glad it was recommended for me. I won’t give away anything. All I’ll say is that you have to read it. It’s a quick read and the story moves fast. I wanted it to last longer, but it was so worth it. The writing was excellent and the characters really steal your heart. The book is emotional and intense. It’s something I can’t recommend enough. I really hope to see a sequel. I need more from Maryse. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

A short novel that tells a story of monsters, slaying, and fighting evil. Was hard to follow some of the action at times but entertaining, moving, and intense.
