Alyssa Cole, who simply cannot pick a slay, has come for my edges yet again. I was so haunted and enthralled by this book the whole way through. As with her other books, this was very well researched. I also genuinely didn't know what was going to happen throughout. I do hope that this gets turned into a movie or TV show. I just loved this so much.

This one is going to be really hard to review without spoilering. Cole's writing is impeccable, and the speed of the story just keeps increasing, accelerating towards a satisfying finale that brings all the threads that have been spun throughout together. Very difficult to put down, do not try to read this when you've got limited time - you will be hugely disappointed whenever you're not buried in this story.
