This is a fantasy mystery with a romance vibe that is secondary to the story. However, I felt like there’re light elements in the fantasy and it’s more a mystery book than a fantasy one, but with an interesting choice of supernatural creatures.
I felt like there’s a great character development and single one of them has a strong personality and they work so great together. Then, the pace of the story was accomplished perfectly and the world-building in this book is intriguing, and I felt like it added more to the story.
Overall, this was a fun read with a fun premise but lacking a bit on the romance plot of the story. I felt like the door to more books into this world was left open, so I’m curious to see if it’ll be explored.
Thank you, NetGalley & the publisher, for approving me to read this arc and write this review.
