Reread (2022): Just as phenomenal on a reread, perhaps MORE so… since I know what’s to come in the next 6 books.

In the small town of Henrietta, Virginia, a place simultaneously grounded and magical, mundane and mystical, Blue — the daughter of a psychic — knows to stay away from the local prep school boys. Yet she finds herself drawn into their search for a sleeping Welsh king through Latin-speaking forests and corpse roads.

CW: gun violence, domestic abuse

Original review (2020): This book was ADDICTING. I made the mistake of listening to the audiobook at night on a 25-min timer and every night I would be wide awake at the end of the timer, wishing I had set it for longer.

The writing style surprised me constantly, so many clever moments and compelling characters and driving mystery. I need the next one immediately!

I listened to this as an audiobook on Spotify and was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. There is a lot going on in the book, which can make it difficult to pinpoint a specific plot. It is more like 6 or 7 plots running simultaneously. I enjoyed this style of writing and how many details the author added to make each of these plotlines interesting. I am looking forward to listening to the rest of the series.
