I am going to admit that when I picked up this story from Netgalley, I had no idea that it was in the same world as the Hollow Vows duet (which I really enjoyed!). I was 15% in, thinking, why does this seem so familiar, before I realized it was going to focus on Abriella's younger sister as a follow up to the original story (plus a handful of side characters, old and new). And it was so fun! Court intrigue, shifters, fae shenanigans, and an epic finish that made me say, "Oh f*ck!" out loud, which scared my dog. 😬 I am genuinely excited for the next book already! 🤣🥰
