Into the Crooked Place by Alexandra Christo
4.0
*Thanks to Amazon Vine for providing me with this book in exchange for an honest review!*
*4.5 STARS*
AH, YES. GANGSTER FANTASY. IT HAS ALL YOUR FAVORITE THINGS FROM MORALLY GREY CHARACTERS, TO DARK MAGIC, TO ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS THAT ARE PROBABLY TOXIC (but no one's complaining).
Just WOW. I adored this book! I fell so in love with Wesley and Tavia and the city of Creije that I don't even know what to do with myself. At first, I thought this story was going to be extremely similar to Six of Crows (The series I sold my soul to basically). However, even though it has its similar traits, this was a completely original story filled with adventure, romance, and dark magic. The plot was just incredible. The final few chapters had me completely freaking out.
My only minor complaint? Saxony and Karam. 2 out of the 4 main characters. Wesley and Tavia are amazing and I'd die for them. But Saxony and Karam just... felt like the same person. There wasn't really a personality difference between the two of them and I (for real) would oftentimes find myself confused between which one of these chicks had which back story and which one did this and just what? They were literally the same person. And if I am completely honest, I skimmed through some of their POV chapters because I just got...bored.
But other than that, this book is incredible. I am so surprised by how much I was consumed by this story. I'm also PISSED because it ended on a cliffhanger and now I feel like the sudden end of this story will keep me up at night until I have book 2. I NEED IT.
