“You break my books, I break you.”
“I don’t abandon those I love. Maybe that’s something you should consider in the future.”
“I know nothing of dreams. The only thing I’ve ever known are nightmares.”
“We are fantastic at complicated relationships.”
“You tried to feed me to an overgrown insect.”

Great continuation to the series. This book picks up right where the first book, A House of Fangs & Deceit ended.

The relationships between Samara and her love interests continued to develop, with some new ones added to the mix. I liked how all her romantic partners had different types of personalities, characteristics, and also some non-binary representation. The chemistry and banter between Samara and her partners, and also between her partners, continued to be great.

The stakes were higher compared to the first book, and there was once again a lot happening. I enjoyed learning more about the history of Seelie and Unseelie, and Lunaria as a place.

The ending took me by surprise, and I can’t wait to read more!



I received an ARC of this book and I am voluntarily leaving a review. Receiving ARC didn’t affect my opinion of the book.
