This is the easiest five stars I've ever given a book. It's fast paced and heartfelt… I loved every second of it!
BY FAR one of the best reads of the year for me… This book deserves a viral fanbase.
I absolutely loved the cover… the whole world was enticing with a very intriguing gothic vibe… Can't wait for book 2!
