“I hold a murder weapon in my one hand, and a children’s fairy tale in the other.”

This is genuinely better than I was expecting. The writing is superb, and the narrator is nailing it. Great characters.

Look, this book is an entire FIELD of red flags, but if you can look past that the vibes are vibin’ 😂

We’re off to a good start. I like the audiobook narrators.

“Joining the literary guild of Mount Pleasant had seemed like a good idea at the time. Patricia realised she needed to get out of the house and meet new people the moment she leaned over at supper with Carter’s boss, and tried to cut up his steak for him.”

What exactly do snowy mountains and deep forests smell like? And can someone with a digital copy of this book search how many times those phrases are repeated, because my GOSH this author desperately wants us to know that these men smell like geographical features. 🏔️🌳 😅

“Run fast, Little Rabbit… the wolves are coming for you now.”

Unfortunately, at some point the MMC saying ‘Princess’ in a deep Scottish accent made me think of Shrek, and now I can’t unhear it 🙈

Who wants to place bets about when the first training montage will be?

PSA from the Ministry of Wiggly Eyebrows: We have brauny, shirtless wolf-men in kilts! 🐺🕺🏼

“What if we’ve unwittingly entered into a slasher version of The Bachelor?”

“He looks like he’s ready to burn this whole place down, like what just happened is going to form the basis of his origin story, and the jury is still out on whether he becomes a hero or a villain. It’s confusingly attractive.”

I am swiftly going from liking this book to _LOVING_ this book. 😍 👻

I’m loving this so far, excepting for the fact that the voice for the MMC makes me picture the grandpa in the Gilmour Girls. 🙈🙈🙈

“A thought occurred to me, as sudden as a summer storm, and nearly as devoid of consequences. He was the kind of man most people would consider attractive. On my part, this revelation had probably been delayed by the fact that he looked like he might notify a partner of an impending orgasm via an announcement in the Times.”

Oh Ali. You know how to write a woman.

28% in and quite the fever dream so far. It’s weird for me that she doesn’t question anything. Like, surreal stuff keeps happening and she just takes it in her stride.

Eeeep. This series is starting to all feel a bit samey samey for me.

“If a person cannot leave a mark, do they exist?”

Thanks to my TikTok feed during the World Cup, the only person I can picture Erik as is Erling Haaland 😂 (and I know he’s not even the right nationality 😂😂😂).

What is Darrow’s horse’s name? 🐴 because I’m listening to the audiobook, and it sounds an awful lot like ‘Coitus’ 😂

I do not yet get the hype. If you have read and loved this book, please comment what you love about it - no spoilers!

“It’s never that black and white Samantha,” Edward said, returning with her tea. “Not everyone is all bad or all good. Good people do bad things every day, and bad people do good things every day.”
