I LOVE this book so much! It plays into the clue-solving part of my brain when it comes to books, as well as my love for plot twists and romance. So, all in all, a phenomenal book in my eyes!
I specifically love the repetition of the exact same phrase when it comes to Marcello Dragna; "anise and lavender and something akin to rotted plums". This phrase would make my body freeze in fear for the two Dragna sisters, as it is made clear very early on in the book that their father is a man with an affinity for violence; especially when it comes to his daughters.
I also loved the romance between Julian and Scarlet that slowly ensued throughout the novel. Most of all, though, I adored the emphasis on sisterhood and loyalty to your loved ones.
But I think the thing I loved the most was the emphasis on colour throughout the novel. Scarlet says that she can see emotions in colour, and the way this is consistently and beautifully presented in the book turned my eyes into hearts.
