A wonderful combination of fantasy, romance and intriguing murder mystery! 
 
The magic system with the mirror and deadly bargains really captivate me from the start. 
Added with a murder mystery to solved where our main characters are forced to work together to uncover the truth behind the murders… 
 
I absolutely enjoy seeing the delightful flirty banter between our main characters – Emrys and Quinn. I love the tension between the two of them, although I have to admit it got me a little bit frustrated with how long they play this game of pull and push!! 
I can’t wait to see what happens next after that huge cliff-hanger at the end…. 
 
I love most parts of this story, however the last few chapters were slightly confusing for me. So many things happened and it all happened too quickly. The ending left me with some unanswered questions which I’m hoping will be answered in the next book. 
 
Overall, this was a pretty good read. I find the magic system to be unique and it also has wonderful characters. 
I’m looking forward to read the next book in this series in 2025! 
 
Thank you to Book of Matches Media and the author for giving me an e-ARC of the book and for having me on this book tour. I’m leaving this review voluntarily!
