A heist, mythology, broody characters, love triangles. This book was a whirlwind from start to finish and was such an enjoyable read

Really enjoyed this story with roots in Celtic mythology. The writing was very engaging and the pace was perfect. I’ll definitely continue this series. It’s the perfect book for the time  between Halloween and the winter solstice, as that is when the showdown happens in the book.

3.5 ⭐️ This was enjoyable but nothing special. The characters were very two dimensional and I felt like I was supposed to be invested in what happened with the friends (Gen & Ethan) but I literally knew nothing about them/they were hardly on page.

First of all, I love when I'm answering the question "are the characters loveable?" and have to say "It's complicated"... because, yes, characters should be complicated, that's what makes them fun! It's what gets me hooked! The characters in this book are anything but loveable, until they are, and that swing from morally gray and kind of the worst, to morally gray but now you're in their corner and rooting for they HEA is one of my favorite plot line/tropes you can find. I also listened to this one and the narrator really nailed the voice and emotion throughout and while I listen to books far slower then I read them, it for sure kept me coming back for more. 

The story is full of heart, mystery, and a touch of magic that keeps you hooked from the first chapter. The narrator brings the characters to life with such emotion and energy, making it an immersive experience. I loved how the book effortlessly blends romance with a little suspense, and the pacing was perfect. If you're looking for a cozy, captivating story with just the right amount of smut, and some top-notch twists, this is a must-listen.
