I had high expectations for this book and it exceeded every one of them! This was a 5 star read for me. The main characters are so likable despite their morally grey personalities. I found the supporting characters to be full of life and they certainly didn’t feel like fillers or unimportant to the story. I absolutely loved the plot and the romance (there is even a very mild amount of spice!). I’m new to Korean entertainment and I’ve never seen a k-drama, but now I really want to! I loved reading about all the different mythical creatures and gods from Korean mythology. It made the perfect setting for this fantasy/murder mystery who dunnit and I cannot wait for the next book! Don’t worry - the mystery is revealed in this book, but it does indeed end on a bittersweet cliffhanger leaving you ready for the next installment! Thank you Net Galley for providing this ebook for an honest review.
