Read this basically in a day. How do I describe this book…..  it’s got a magic deck of cards that is spread among the people. A sickness that infects people with magic, but they’re killed if they have that infection/magic…. There’s a dark broody guy and a lot of rhyming verse. Great book!

This was so easy to read, it was such a joy. The writing wasn't basic or anything, it was still beautiful but just easy to read and very interesting, kept me captivated! 

I am glad there was only one s*x scene and one kiss scene, much more preferred. I liked the world and the fantasy of it. I enjoyed our characters and I just love magic card stuff, always here for tarot related stuff.

Dark and twisted story but goodness is resilient.  I appreciated that Ravyn asked for permission before he touched her.
