I absolutely adore the book. I adore the way the underlying mental abuse was woven into the story and addressed. The characters are wonderful, I love Percy. The betrayals and plot twists made it a good read. I hope there's a sequel. Or maybe even to have it made into a Trilogy.

This book is sooo good!!!! It’s a story about overcoming abuse and trauma, it’s beautifully written and it’s gay so it’s a ten out of ten in my books. Also I just want to give Ranka a hug, she deserves it.

This book was so much better than I could’ve imagined. I went into completely blind and fell in love! I am going to have a massive book hangover after. 

I am only left with one question? How is the Sunra line going to continue if both siblings are gay? I mean yeah adoption but that could be a lot of political unrest. 

This book in three words is Queer, Zombie, Betrayal. It has enemies, to friends, to lovers, to enemies, to lovers and just classic friends to lovers. 

The writing is so wonderful my only critique is it uses the phrase “bile rose to her throat” and others like that far too many times. Other than that it had so many fabulous quotes that just hit you to your core, my favorite being, “You useless lesbian.”
