I really did not enjoy this book. The characters were written so one dimensional and silly.  The plot is INCREDIBLY PREDICTABLE  and just like Book 1 of this series there waa minimal to no world building and even less development of the magic system. Gideon pissed me off and Rune is an idiot.  If there is a book 3 I will not reas it!

I don't even know how to review this book🤣 psychological thriller for sure. Lots of mental illness representation but 100% not in a good positive way. The twists at the 50% and 70% marks were WILD but the end seemed disjointed and anticlimactic for me.

This is a filler listen while i clean house and bedazzle dance costumes.  The main female character is a pentulant teenage whiney brat that annoys the hell out of me. The entire plot is repetitive and way to drawn out. I was promised salacious and got 1 little scene that was boring.  All of this to say, Im starting book 2 audio now because I want to see where this 1 chic bonded to 5 dudes that all seem to hate one anothet goes🤣

This was a very good read. The twists at the end were very surprising to me. My mouth was definitely open while listening.  There were some strange uses of imagery that didnt really fit but I could easily look past them due to the plot and character development.

Im really getting into this series. I love the world building and magic system that really developed throughout this book. The continued banter between Poppy and Casteel is so very fun. 
Cannot wait to read book 3❤️

I really love this series and book 3 did not disappoint . In this book we learn more about Fionn and Rose. As expected its dark comedy with a heavy dose of spice. Unexpected was the emotional connection I made with Fionn and the tears this story brought me.

If I were to only judge that second half of the book, it would be 4.5 stars, but that 1st 50% ddddddruuuuugggggggggg on unnecessarily my dude! It was so slow and boring, but I am glad I kept on it.  
Sapphic retelling of Sleeping Beauty from the Evil Witches perspective (spoiler: she's not evil initially, people are just assholes). There's a book 2, and I do love a duology, but IDK if I would read it because I really liked how this book ended.

Im a fantasy lover and this book was just ok. I still plan to read the next book because I am interested to see what happens. I listened to it and the narrator for Breen the FMC was not great and made her sound very childlike.  Once I sped it up it was better.  Love all the Irish lore and imagery and the LGBTQ+ representation.
