All I’m going to say is that Lyla, you REALLY don’t need to say “when Boone said “stupid dog”, he really meant “this angel of a dog.” We get it. It makes us readers feel stupid. Or like you think we’re stupid. Other than that one line, I am really enjoying this book! can’t help but think Collins is being a bit immature walking out on her sister like that though. Open up to each other!!

I love the emotional moments of this book. They’re not cheesy, just unspoken acknowledgement of wanting to hold your ageing parents a bit tighter when they leave for a long trip or something.

I love the vibeeeessss

I ABSOLUTELY. ADORE. THIS. Booooook!!!! The banter, the writing style, the cosiness, the emotional undercurrent without getting cheesy… this is shaping up to be a 5 star!! I knew it would be good from the first chapter! I felt lighter reading it than I have in a long time. First book I picked up where I felt excited!

It seems very odd that they are completely convinced Charlie did it and yet shadow magic is so embedded into this world that they have in-universe soap operas with plot points about people not having shadows. And yet they refuse to believe that evil shadows exist and one might have killed the person who they’re accusing Charlie of killing.

I love this book. I connect to Collins more than I thought I would. Came for the vibes, stayed for the emotions.

This is getting so intriguing!!

Oooh!!

Oooh Wyn is sexy! But I can’t help but see Wyn Evans as the Go Compare man also called Wynn Evans 😂 and the FMC just moved from Wales…her love interest has a more Welsh name than she does!!

OH MY GOD. This could become a disaster.

This is really good, and I’m probably rushing it but I feel like the side character deaths don’t have as much emotional payoff as I’d like.

I physically can’t stop reading this!!

Oooh this is so exciting and the stakes are high!

I’m loving her chemistry with Red and the plot is plotting!!

This is so good so far! Tense, angsty, compelling.

Wow, I really need to read something nice after this!
