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 read this book with my school's book club, and I really enjoyed it! I loved the characters, I enjoyed the premise, and the writing style was fun and immersive. This is a really good book, and I DEFINITELY recommend it.
