*taps mic* ladies we have a new fae butler to add to the fae/sorcerer/demon butler/steward shelf

Half a Soul was fun but this was for ME, SPECIFICALLY. Enjoyed it so much. The fae are tricksty and sinister but somehow not the worst thing bumping around the gothic mansion at night. Lovely brand of faerie gothic. Definitely run to the bookstore and treat yourself to this one (and sign me up for the sequels!!! MORE PLEASE!!!)

I will say having read Half a Soul definitely helped with background. I have not read the other two HAS sequels so I don’t know if they’re necessary, but having some knowledge of prior world and character events was helpful.

Heat level: just kissing
The author has cws at the start of the book for anything folks might be sensitive to.

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC. The Witchwood Knot releases Nov 28. All opinions are my own and this is my honest review.
