 I loved the story and characters. 
Thank you to Netgalley and FSG for this audio arc.
Maya Saroya, Thank you for bringing these characters to life. 

This feels beautiful and fun and very fresh!  Vampires, twists and tea. I love Arthie and I need every main character to be as fiery as she is. I am a huge found family lover and this book DELIVERS!  
This is a very character driven book and the heist does take a backseat in act two and three, if you’re here for a heist you might not be happy. IF YOU WANT DRAMA AND PLOT TWIST… You want this book. 
Spindrift is not just a tea house, it’s a home for everyone she loves and is afraid to love.

NOW Spoiler

FLICK’S MOM BEING THE RAM!? Why? Who is the Wolf? Has he been there the entire time?? Also Penn shouldn’t have died- at all. 
Arthie being a vampire is very much in your face but it makes sense to distract you from other twists.
Jin turning into a vampire?? Trauma on trauma. I just want to give him a huge and find his parents.
