Oh man, from the beginning I was hooked in. I switched over to audiobook about 30% in because I literally couldn't put it down and needed to listen/read it any chance I got. Most books I go in blind, including this one. It's a little bit of a slow start but once it got going, I couldn't stop. 

This dark gothic romantasy was so well done. I'm deeply intrigued by the Evers, and not just the Fernglove family. I loved the unique magic system and the mysteries of Fernglove Manor. 

I had a slight feeling there is a love triangle involved but I'm in denial bc I hate love triangles (and also what happens with the plot without spoiling it). It does have me excited for book two though! Also. I was NOT expecting that plot twist oh my god. I recognize there's been foreshadow to it, but I am just a passenger princess okay?? 

And I know insect daddy was just a meme/troll for the marketing but honestly?? I get it. The tension and banter... I need sooo much more!!

Thank you Harper Voyager for the eARC, LibroFM for the ALC!
