Transcendentally Sinister! [a:CJ Leede|29743018|CJ Leede|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png] debut is a breath-taking choke leaving you gasping at the gruesome detailing web of Maeve, a deuteragonist, in her own right, living a double life in Los Angeles.

Images such as Princesses and beauty have power and we more often can fall under the spell. For some, it may come at a cost, more deeply rooted or satiated than one can comprehend: leaving you alone in solace.

The story was an elegant waltzing with decomposition and gore. Maeve held no personal desire back, and with the aid of Gideon and grandmother, Tallulah (amazing Tori Amos song, btw) she was wrestling with letting her true 'wolf' free.

There is detailed sex, which I am not shy about, and desires were explored and not shamed. Reading it in a book is like unlocking a private bedroom door, peering in at their 'darkside' and let's be real, I enjoyed the view.

C.J's writing was expository, graphic, and the characters were all well developed. Her tantalizing verbiage had me devouring the pages quicker and quicker as I progressed further into the book. CJ is a writer you want to watch.

This book will surprise you. [b:Sneak Peek for Maeve Fly|123252168|Sneak Peek for Maeve Fly|CJ Leede|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1678920844l/123252168._SY75_.jpg|144504098] is a must!

“A way of life that is not quiet or secret or tucked away. How silly of me. How silly of us, to think we must do in shadow what men do in the light.”

Honestly kinda forgettable. Protagonist is a pick me girl, worrying is violent and gorey for the sake of it, for a LARGE PORTION of the book, nothing happens.
