“It’s a leap of faith, to love people and let yourself be loved.”

Sometimes you just need a warm hug of a book to welcome spooky season. The found family, the romance, even the plot, all felt cozy to me, it was delightful honestly. I am not typically a cozy fantasy reader, but wow this was lovely 🥹

I HAVE A NEW FAVORITE EMILY MCINTIRE BOOK 🗣️

I have so much love for morally grey women, it’s always going to boost the books rating for me because of that. And Venesa is easily a top favorite morally grey woman for me now, I absolutely adored her entire character arc. AND she’s bisexual?? PLEASE. IM IN LOVE.

Enzo also had me swooning left and right, which is not surprising to me since all of Emily’s men do that to me haha. 

The plot, I have to say, was my favorite of hers so far too. It was classic mafia, but with the little twists here and there and nods to the little mermaid, it made it soooo unique and interesting to me. 

Overall, I’m dying to yap about with this people so hurry up and read it once it comes out haha. That’s how good it is!!

*I received an arc from the publisher in exchange for my honest review*
