Man, am I a sucker for enemies to lovers. This one had me really engaged and there were just enough twists to keep it interesting, but not so many that it seemed like a poor plot device. Getting my hands on the sequel ASAP

I enjoyed the magic system and the relationships, but I feel like the plot and the pacing could have used some work as they were a little awkward.

it’s good… kinda. it’s like twilight in a way. aliesse, one of the main characters are trying to be saved by her best friend sabine. but aliesse falls for bastien even though sabine thinks he’s trying to kill aliesse but that’s not true. it’s a mess.

I am shocked that I liked this book as much as I did. While the romance felt forced and quick, I enjoyed everything else. This was a book that kept me on the edge of my seat wanting to know what happens next. The magic system was unique and unusual. While the story certainly had its slow points, and could have potentially been 50 pages shorter, I loved the majority of the story. I can’t wait for the second book to come out.

Enchanting story that I kept thinking about after I put it down. The writing was so atmospheric that I could almost feel the environment of the story as I was reading it. Even though the characters were flawed, it was easy to become invested in their story. I can’t wait for the sequel because the story ends with no real conclusion. Loved it!

i really enjoyed this book! i love ailesse and sabine’s friendship. i also love that it takes place in a french sort-of setting! if you’re looking for a slow-burn enemies to lovers, than you probably won’t enjoy it that much, but if you don’t mind a more quick paced enemies to lovers, then i definitely recommend it!

Different, interesting story. It's had a unique twist on magic and I like the the simplicity of it. The multiple pov gives it a unique story telling when there is so much going on you get to see a little bit of everything. Twist and turns and it is a true to the term enemies to lovers story. Great story on friendship, found family, and romance.

Because I write this as much to remember it as to share my thoughts, here’s how I’d tag this book if it was on AO3:
enemies to lovers,
seriously from knife meet throat to spit swapping,
don’t you just love when ✨women✨,
doing the gods work by stealing from the French,
thieves with cloaks,
psychopomps,
safe for work,
kidnapping,
if I wasn’t afraid of the dark before…,
bones,
death witches,
folklore,
Sabine deserves the world,
almost too hetero,
mommy issues,
ritual sacrifice
