Unfortunately, the synopsis on the back of the book is actually the entire book! The first 85% is very slow as it is just the “set up”…Then from there, it finally picks up the pace and exciting things start to happen! 3 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️!

The beginning was great and just what I wanted… but then it got long winded and the magic of the story faded away. 3 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️!

As I was reading this book I was sure I was going to give it 5 Stars! However, the crash and burn of the last 10 pages was so disappointing! 2 Stars ⭐️⭐️!

Well - It’s wasn’t Ursula from The Little Mermaid inside the cave! Very suspenseful ending! 3 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️! I wish we would have gotten more of the backstory of the cave!

Now that’s how you properly do a twist ending! Also, is it wrong that I felt bad for Sarafina? 5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!

Very creative whimsical vibes throughout… I just wanted an ending with more of a dramatic punch! 3 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️!

Don’t read this book if you are on a diet - it will make you hungry! 3 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️ because the lies were a bit unrealistic for my taste.

I’ve never hated a fictional character (Pete) more in my life! The Author did an amazing job! 4 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!

This is the most imaginative, unusual, and creative storytelling I’ve read in a long time! I knew I was reading something very special! 4 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️! I would have given it 5 Stars, however, I personally like my endings to be a little more tightened up!

The main character made bad decisions after bad decisions… And I loved every minute of it! 4 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️! PS - Did anyone else notice that the Author used word “lamented” a million times?

Kept my interest, however, the ending disappointedly fizzled out! 2 Stars ⭐️⭐️!

It was so interesting and fun learning about new types of witches, demons, goddesses, and deities of the universe! Loved the suspense and mystery as well as how the main character found her inner strength! 4 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️! I would have given it 5 Stars, however, it was hard to believe that the boyfriend was unbelievably able to figure so much out and be fine with all the chaos happening.

Thank you St. Martin’s Press for the Advanced Readers Copy!

Sigh! Please just give us a few more sentences so we don’t have to “guess” how it ends! However, still a very creative and heart pounding story! 4 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!

Addie is such a smooth operator! Love how she never gave up and climbed her way out of a mistake… and she got the last laugh which was the best part! 5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!

What makes this book so great is that it’s out of control from start to finish! Also, I loved all the references to horror movies and horror books! An easy 5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!

Thank you Minotaur Books for the advanced copy!

I better get it together with Zoroastrianism so I don’t end up in Hell - LOL! However, I wouldn’t mind having one of those amazing food kiosks! 4 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!

This books theme song could be “No Ordinary Love” by Sade because of the 3 characters all consuming love for one another! In a good way, it’s uniquely constructed with the timing of events as well as a creative take on outsmarting death! 4 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!

Thank you Harper Collin’s for the advanced copy!

Poor Klara - Could the ending be anymore sad and depressing? 3 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️!

It’s true - Everything happens for a reason and will be for the best in the end! 5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!

Is it wrong that I want to try a “Bourbon Biscuit”? This is one of the best books that I’ve read in a long time! 5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!

You know how you can check for “Trigger Warnings” before you read a book?… There should be a way to check for “Ambiguous Endings”! 3 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️!

As I was reading this book, I truly thought this was going to be a 5 Star read… However, then the ending happened! I honestly don’t understand and have no idea what happened? 2 Stars ⭐️⭐️!

What a sad, heartbreaking, and depressing story! This is not a “light read”. As “dense” as trying to cut an un-thawed ice cream cake with a plastic knife! 3 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️!

So suspenseful throughout, with tears of joy at the end! 5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!

I have read from so many of these Authors over the years and it was so fun to get their perspectives and find out some of their personal thoughts as well! This was an easy 5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!
