This book kept me encaptured throughout! I definitely have a soft spot for cozy fantasy, and this was cozy fantasy done right. A fun adventure with a host of likeable characters, a heart-warming ending and nicely tied into Cursed Cocktails. A must read for fans of the genre.

Another outstanding addition to the thrilling adventures of Ana and Din. The murder mystery element was very nicely done, with a series of unexpected twists and turns that kept me guessing throughout (mostly wrongly!). The world-building further explores Ana and Dins evolving relationship, while also revealing more about the Leviathans and the Empires origin, rulers and it's people.

Fantasy/Murder Mystery is quickly becoming my favourite genre, and Robert Jackson Bennett masterfully blends the two genres with A Drop of Corruption, creating another page-turner that hooks you from the beginning and is a must-read for fans of both fantasy and murder mysteries!

Thank you to NetGalley and Del Ray for this ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.
