“Mother had told me all about men, and had nothing good to say. They were almost on a level with petty magicians in her estimation.”

Rapunzel retelling with sentient hair and a telepathic raven. Let’s go!

If all YA’s were this good I’d sure read a lot more of them!

How is this book _shattering_ me!?

“Being the world’s first introverted perverted prude is surprisingly exhausting.”

“Wait, why is there a taser in your stomach? Why are their scorch marks on her chin?” Augustus looked between us like we’d both lost our ever loving minds. We had.
“I’m seducing her.”
“He’s trying to kill me!”

“You wound me, my dear,” he clutched his chest mockingly. “My heart is yours, to do with as you please, even if you are to run blades through it.”
“Must you be so melodramatic? Are you not the one who eats flesh and chased me like an animal through this very house?”
“Whatever do you mean,” he gasped. “That is the height of romance!”

“Has anyone informed you that you’re an extremely odd woman, or do they assume that you already know?”

“At first I was confused about why Alina would arm herself with just a mere needle - it was rather anti-climactic. It was only after the first few days that I realised she had attempted to poison me. Believe me when I say this woman gave me butterflies in my stomach.”

My greatest wish is that Runa gets her own book. How great would that be?

Ok guys. Who are we fan-casting casting as Rory, Callum and Blake?

Oh no… Callum’s not going to become a bit of a Tamlin, is he?

I am singularly irked by books where the characters make their decisions based on what people would do in the movie genre. 😫

Does anyone else get name blindness in books? There are two characters whose names start with ‘G’, and because of this I _really_ battle to tell them apart.

“Nothing was more on-brand than for Elise to be by herself at the bottom of a hole in the middle of the night.”

“She was being forced to examine an appalling display of podiatry thanks to flip flop abundance, despite her warning to them yesterday about dropping buckets full of sharp objects.”

Ok, so this is seriously fun. The writer and narrator on this are a match made in heaven.

Man, Chuck can write the _shit_ out of a character. They’re practically jumping off the page!

WHUT!? This book is so much better than the cover would suggest.

Ok, so it’s got Zodiac Academy vibes so far.

Our FMC is _very_ unlikeable.

For whatever reason, I thought the plot was going to lean romancewards. Instead, it seems to be more of an unhinged woman spiraling, with undertones of thriller.

“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.”
