“I can't even tell someone to have a good day without sounding like I secretly wish they'd die” - Lexi Ryan ☠️ 

⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 3.5 Stars 

This was a tricky one to rate. It took me over a month to finish, but I’m not sure how much of it was the book or me/me having covid. I wouldn’t say this book is anything new - but if you’re into ACOTAR, it’s worth picking up. 👍🏻 

Abriella was your classic ‘not like other girls’, red headed thief of a woman. She did get a bit of development throughout the book which is always good. Which leads us to Seb and Finn. You guessed it, one long term friend with sunshine hair and one dark, mysterious fellow. Both essential to the story progression, but they were very predictable. I wanted more depth, I think they could’ve been used WAY more to drive the story. 📖 

The first half of this book felt easy enough to read with the short chapters but it didn’t grasp me, I didn’t feel the urge to pick it up. The second half however, I read in a day. I LOVED where the story went, there were a couple of things I didn’t expect and the magic finally made sense. ✨ 

The ending made me really want to read the next book, I just wish we’d had a bit of that sparkle earlier on. 💕
