Jolie just keeps knocking it out of the park! I loved Lottie and Sin’s story so much and can’t wait to see what happens next! This cliffy has been one of the worst from Jolie but I absolutely loved it!

Keelynn is a babe and I love her dearly, but getting to peek inside Tadgh's head was a trip and a half. I absolutely had the best time reading this. Keelynn had a certain...view of events and seeing the same events from Tadgh's point of view provided a more well-rounded view of what was actually going on. It was enticing, enlightening, and engaging. I was enthralled from the first page to the last. 

Learning more about Tadgh's curse, Fiadh, and the brother's relationship was really interesting, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The world-building really blossomed in this POV, since Tadgh is just more experienced with the world around him than Keelynn. 

Getting to see the dinner/blue dress scene from Tadgh's POV was maybe one of my favorites. Even in the most dire situations, Tadgh and Rian still manage to act like brothers. 

I thought I was solidly on team Rian after reading A Cursed Heart, but Tadgh has come back and demanded my attention once again.... I guess I'll just have to go with both of them (oh the trouble). I love both of them, for different reasons, and I can't wait to see A Cursed Heart from Rian's POV, and then see what happens beyond! 

I have a feeling Aveen and Keelynn are going to give the boys a run for their money when they're both back and caught up to speed. Maiden Death might be an apt name for both of them... And I can't wait to see how they make Rian and Tadgh beg for forgiveness. 

But seriously, getting to see Tadgh's POV and how he sees himself was really helpful to build out the world and the story in my mind, and I absolutely loved it. I love dual POV, so I was super excited when Jenny announced this book. 

If you're a fan of sassy banter, pining, curses, capable women, and a morally gray fae with a sweet tooth, give this series a shot! 

Thank you Jenny for the ARC!
