The violence and blood is more than I usually like in a book but it all builds to become a suspenseful thriller. My favorite parts: romance was clean, no LGBTQ+ characters/aspects, and the epilogue was

i enjoyed so much of this book, it was easy to read and the plot kept me interested the entire time. i love the characters and the romance, it was cute ◡̈

the fact that it’s historical makes it better for me, i love when authors do extensive research for their books

Three of my favorite things… murder mystery, romance and historical Asia

I would not love, unless I was loved first and loved the most.

I would be nothing at all, if I could not be first.



such a sweet book, asian folklore novels are really something!
