So much fun! I guessed the killer and motive as soon as the murder happened but idc. This book was a good time.
Did I miss it or do we still not know who killed that younger gumiho?

My most anticipated book of the year! The first book broke my heart and I wanted happiness for Seokga. The plot and relationship with his brother were top tier and I mourned with Seokga as he spoke with his therapist. 

My only let down was Kisa. She was.... disappointing. Her friendship and support was endearing but she had big shoes to fill and didn't quite deliver.
