God. I wanted to like this one so bad. I was curious about the sister and ugh she annoyed me so much. Full review shortly.
Omg I feel so bad lmao. ThiGod. I wanted to like this one so bad. I was curious about the sister and ugh she annoyed me so much. Full review shortly.
Omg I feel so bad lmao. This book got pushed from rotation all last week due to my chaotic schedule with moving. I’m not settled, but the toughest challenge is behind me now. Starting this one for real this time in the morning! ...more
It's not that this was bad, because it wasn't but I needed more and with just under 300 pages it just didn't offer enough for me. I think a s 3 Stars
It's not that this was bad, because it wasn't but I needed more and with just under 300 pages it just didn't offer enough for me. I think a standalone fantasy romance is incredibly hard to pull off, but this was a good stab at it.

I don't think I get on very well with Katherine Arden's writing because this isn't the first time I've struggled. High chance that this is all me and not the author. Might go back to this one at a later time.

Oh boy, did I ever struggle to get through this book and not just DNF. When I say struggle- I mean I literally sighed, bitched, complained and dreadedOh boy, did I ever struggle to get through this book and not just DNF. When I say struggle- I mean I literally sighed, bitched, complained and dreaded each time I picked up this book. I can't remember the last time I looked at my progress percentage so often in a book and damn did it move incredibly slow. I thought it was never going to end.
Had it been an epub copy and not an audio- I would have given up for sure.
This was such a cool concept for a book. In all of the time that I've been reading thrillers, I honestly don't think I've ever read anythi 3.75 Stars
This was such a cool concept for a book. In all of the time that I've been reading thrillers, I honestly don't think I've ever read anything like this before.
╰⪼ I think part of the extra enjoyment was that I didn't read the blurb going into this one- I just saw that a few of my friends loved it. That it was a thriller and I liked the cover. Oh, and it's a quick one - just under 300 pages.
I was immediately pulled into the story as we follow three victims of the match strike killer as they tell us their stories after their murders. This match strike killer is just going around plucking off random women he meets on a popular dating app and no one seems to be the wiser.
Imagine if your victims were haunting you from beyond and helping the police without you knowing it? Tick tock mf. LOL. Revenge is so sweet.
I really enjoyed this book and it kept me engaged for the most part. I had just a couple of issues with the alternating POVs - there was three of them and I had a hard time remembering who was who and who I was hearing from as the chapters changed.
I also felt that the timeline was a little confusing considering we are thrust right into the thick of it. Once I got my bearings though it was off to the races.

These are freaking addictive. And oddly enough, a comfort type of read? Lmao. Even though there’s a serial killer on the loose.
I was just as hooked i These are freaking addictive. And oddly enough, a comfort type of read? Lmao. Even though there’s a serial killer on the loose.
I was just as hooked into the story as we continue in book two as I was in book one. Which is pretty uncommon these days. I find myself falling victim to second book syndrome more and more these days. Maybe that's a good reason to go digging in the depths of the tbr from time to time?
Anyway, we pick up right where we left off in book one but this time from Millie's POV. She's a psychic and a hedge witch who is now the focal point of a serial killer. Danger is quite literally lurking behind every shadow and darkened corner.
Our MMC � LUCIEN � is a warlock who has lived multiple lives that are intertwined with Millie. These two are couple goals! I'm talking about non toxic, full green flags flying, support you no matter what, let's *communicate* and never keep secrets from each other - our magic is stronger when we're together type of relationship.
Again, not a perfect book - the dialogue comes across a little campy sometimes? That might not even be it, trying to put my finger on it. The sisters definitely come across a little quirky and small townish from time to time, it's not a bad thing at all. It just makes for a not as fleshed out character.
I think the thing to keep in mind though, is that these books are on average 300 pages. They're fun, fast paced, a little chilling, the sisters despite what they're going through are good natured and light hearted. They have a good amount of humor, good times, fierce loyalty and love.
The romance in this one - ugh. I loved it so much. Lucien is so tender and sweet with Millie. The way he magics away her pain when a headache starts to come on and takes it on himself. The way he heals all her little scrapes and cuts. ...more

'This lovely phantom is the very image of tragedy. She is a ballad of mournful movements, bones, and tattered lace—a symphony unlike any I’ve endured.'
