I received this book from the author for an honest review.

It was pretty cool, it immerses you in a mystery and coil around yourself like a serpent. the plot is very interesting and nothing is like it seems at the end and it has some huge plot twists that make me feel like I was going insane.

The book is a perfect fiction for anyone who enjoy a little fantasy now and then and want to get on a mystery thrill of discover the culprit at the end of the day.

I can assure you, by the end you will begin to question some things in your head too.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This book was a very fast and easy read.

The story was interesting enough and I liked the main characters both good and bad. The way the visions while on opium were described was excellent. There was a fantastic plot twist that I did not see coming at all. So that was a plus for me.

The main thing that keeps me from rating this higher than 2 stars is the writing itself. There were a couple times where the way something was written made me have to put the book down and take a break because I just couldn't wrap my head around why things were explained so poorly or described in such an odd manner. At one point an opium den was described as being a man made opium den. This confused me because there is really no other way for an opium den to come into existence.

Overall it was a good story but I feel like a little more effort and a larger variety of word usage could have made it much better.
