Be Wary. Be Clever. Be Good.
"Atmospheric" doesn't even begin to capture the beauty of Rachel's writing. The magic system is so unique and the whole world is built around the lore and use of the cards. I love the characters, especially the Nightmare, and his rhymes set so much of the mood and mystery.
(Any time I see an allusion to The Highwayman, I get chills)
*updated after a reread, and it holds up as one of my favorite books.*

I did not mean to finish this in a few hours holy shit

what a page-turner! the world building had me worried in the first half, but it quickly began to make sense and now I’m INVESTED. 

I also just love a main char that is inhabited by a morally ambiguous entity. Venom, Vespertine,… this is my jam 

the romance was just enough and honestly I didn’t expect to like ye olde fake dating so much, even if it was a speedrun 

so glad I bought the next one already

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