Expertly crafted and deliciously tense. Alex Stern has teeth, and she's not afraid to use them.  The worldbuilding slots perfectly into real New Haven history, a wonderful mix of ordinary problems and magical interference. Bardugo is a master of her craft, and I cannot wait to read the sequel.

This is a fantastic book. While it is often heavy and hard topics, it is well done. I'm glad I read it and will read the sequel.

Want to make it very explicit that the SA referenced in the content warnings in one instance refers to a minor/p*dophilia. The scene is very graphic. Be safe.

THAT WAS SO CRAZY WOW!!!!! Things started to feel a bit goofy for me in the last 80 pages or so but I could not put it down. Kind of struggled to keep track of all the inter-house politics but loved the world, the ghosts, the magic, etc. etc. etc. Starting Hell Bent immediately.

BRING D-BOY HOME GIRLIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
