Eliza knocked it out of the park with this debut novel!! Beautifully complex characters, trauma recovery, witty banter, STEAMY fun moments, and Peril--with a capital P! Hank and Esther both have enough baggage to bury your average person under, but nothing feels insurmountable when you've got the right person to help you unpack it. Watching Hank's stoicism unravel in the face of Esther's chaos was such a ride to tag along with.

Where do I start with how much I love the World's End cast of characters? Everyone feels lived in, rich with back stories we've only just scratched the surface of. I want to know everything about Magda; what's the history between Nat and Niamh; what happened between Callum and Jory; and what other supernatural beings are there hiding in the PNW that we haven't met yet?? I can't wait for the rest of this series. I love all the characters so much!!
