Wtf did I just read? And I mean that in the best way possible. Novellas are great for in between your long reads and this was no exception.
I loved how nonchalant Vera is about the Goddess and her little comments. 
Nikolai being both intimidating and a squishy cinnamon roll is a nice contrast to MMCs being one or the other.
Like the blurb says, this book is completely unhinged but in the best way possible! 

Thank you Kristen for the ARC in exchange for my honest review. I can't wait for the rest of the story to unfold!
