Customer Reviews

I’m obsessed with this book!

Brenna has a way with words that keeps you interested. Her characters are well thought out, well described, and you can’t help but hate them (as she intends) or love them. This book is very dark and mystical without being overly so. No witches and wands but definitely filled with other delightfully enchanting creatures. A must read and one of my favorite books. I quite enjoy the prospective being from a male character too as many books I read have a female protagonist. Unique read, amazing experience.
