anyways, todas as personagens são superiores mas yuki for the win porque aroace rights.

I have received this ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.


The Wicked Remain is the second installment within the Grimrose Girls series. Just like the first book, I completely devoured this in one sitting. We are also still following the same girls - Nani, Yuki, Ella, and Rory. They are determined to discover the truth and so am I.

I'll admit that the curse for the girls within this book was pretty interesting from the get-go. Not sure how I would feel about a fairytale death for myself, but at least it would be unique. Slightly entertaining. There are honestly worst ways to go. As to who was behind it all? Well, I wasn't expecting that reveal to happen towards the end. More towards the middle of the book but beggars can't be choosers.

Other than that, we do still get the romance. Not even mad about this because I absolutely adored it all. Especially since we needed a break or two from figuring out the curses and everything else. Then again, maybe that's just me thinking that way?

Either way, I really enjoyed everything about this. The ending was so freaking good and put a smile on my face. It's a little bittersweet to walk away from this world but I will definitely be on the lookout for Laura's next book!

This was a great second half of this duology! It was dark and mysterious and the end was action packed. If you're into the darker side of fairy tales, this is perfect. I love how the girls banded together to break their curse(s) and best of all, it had a happy ending.

This duology has been so beautiful. It’s like a female, fairy tail, Raven Boys
