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.

To the quiet girls with stories in their heads. To their dreams—and their nightmares.
Nothing is free. Nothing is safe. Magic is love, but also, it is hate. It comes at a cost. You’re found, and you’re lost. Magic is love, but also, it’s hate.
That’s how the best lies are told—with just a sliver of truth.

this was just the right amount of dark & suspenseful, but also full of feeling. so many side characters we're so well thought out. LOVED the rhymes.
at one point in the second to last chapter, i legit had to put it down for a second & go "YES." if you know, you know.

If Dark Gothic Fairytales are your vibe, look no further than this book. The books follows Elspeth Spindle on her quest to heal the town of Blunder from the curse of the Mist and free herself from the Nightmare that lives inside her head.
Alongside a group of misfits who should be her mortal enemies since they work for the Crown that would sentence her to death for the magical illness that she contracted as a child, Elspeth tries to unravel the mystery of her unwelcome mental companion and acquire the Deck of magically made cards that will set her and the people of the town free.
The romance between Elspeth and Ravyn starts as a fake courtship that ends with lines being blurred between real and pretend.
While I found some of the mystery around the Nightmare and his true identity a tad predictable, there were enough twists and turns to keep me interested and on my toes.
And the ENDING.
Warning it’s a cliffhanger and the second book isn’t out until October of 2023.
A wild ride from start to finish. I can’t wait until the next entry.
