I am still trying to decide how I feel about the ending as it felt a little lacklustre to what I was anticipating but overall I liked the story. The narrative was well written and captivating. The characters were mostly likeable, albeit morally questionable. I would recommend to anyone who enjoys a good mystery/thriller.

There’s something about the Agatha Christie-esque vibe that I love and the setting in the highlands of Scotland. It was a little predictable but I did enjoy it!

Absolutely beautiful prose and a stunning story! I really liked the point of view switch per chapter for Psyche and Eros so you get both perspectives. I listened to this on audiobook and really liked both voice actors too. I think this is one I will likely read as well just to get the full breadth of the words.

I can’t remember the last time I got so invested in a fantasy world so quickly. I love gothic vibe, the magic system and the writing. While the ending was a little predictable it still packed an emotional punch! Can’t wait to get my hands on the next one!
