How does Nick know what he knows about Ivy? 👀👀

“I want a pet ferret; I was a pet mink.”

Rachel. Hon. I appreciate the distinction and attempt to recover your dignity, but I don’t think that’s your biggest concern right now.

“You canicula!” sure is one heck of an insult, Trent. You may be a probable biodrug dealer and pretentious prat, but credit where it’s due.

Witchcraft as potion-making is a nice touch. It helps set Rachel apart from the more esoteric witches in a lot of UF.

Oh thank the writing gods. Urban fantasy where vampirism truly is treated like the horror it is.

“Everything was going too well. Something had to be wrong.”

Nice to know Rachel shares my thought process.

Not only do we have urban fantasy, but we have alternate history? What if the Cold War was driven not by the space race, but a genetics race? I am supremely intrigued.

Love that Rachel keeps a picture of Rosalind Franklin “to remind myself how the world turns on details others miss.” It’s a neat little bit of insight into Rachel’s character.
