This was an amazing dark urban fantasy, set in the 1920 in London.  The magical system was so creative, there are different types of magic. There's fire magic, death magic, light magic, blood magic and many more. The magic is not genetic or something you can learn, you are born with it. 
The story is set in a war of different gangs and the scheming. Gore and violence, drugs and alcohol are big part's of the story. 
The mystery threads an intricate tapestry of devious plots and dark magic, alongside a hot and cold,  slow burn romance. 

 The characters were so human and messy they all had flaws. And Cora's story was so immersive I just couldn't put the book down. The heartbreak, intrigues and longing to be.  I'm enchanted and want to read more. 

Definitely check the content warnings before diving in.
