This book, it's dark and tense in all the right ways. Every turn of the page had me craving more, uncovering layers of suspense that kept me hooked till the end.
Now, you'd think with a title like "One Dark Window," it's all gloom and doom, right? Well, surprise! Elspeth and her misfit gang of friends are lovable in this twisted and dark way. Despite the threatening atmosphere, the author somehow makes you care deeply for them. It's a wild ride of emotions, and I'm here for it. If you're into dark and thrilling reads with unexpectedly endearing characters, this one's a winner. Can't recommend it enough.

I recommend waiting until the series is complete tbh.
The magic system is fascinating & the lore is intriguing. It’s like a dark and twisted fairytale full of riddles & rhymes. An epic quest full of shock & horror and a sprinkle of slow-burn romance.
It’s not FTB but the spice is mild.
Idk if this is categorized as a romance, but unless there’s an HEA- I might trash it in my fury & rage! I am REELING after that ending!! Toddler tantrum level 3000!!!
Caveat emptor. Buyer beware.
