5.0

I can confidently say that I have not come across a book quite like it in a long time. It is wholly captivating, with an immersive world brimming with wonder, characters that I have come to adore, and a story that kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. 

There are books that are about magic, and there are books that genuinely feel magical in nature. “Addie LaRue” is the latter. Holding the book alone made me feel as though I was savvy to some well kept secret, or as though I was sneaking through the streets in Paris, New York, Germany, or wherever Addie decided to go next.
