“Sometimes I wonder if it was my greatest misfortune that I didn’t remain dead.”
“I pushed him away. Because I was too scared to live. Because I was too scared to die.”
“How do you help the dead?”
“How many more times are you going to dance with the dead?”

The premise and concept of the book were intriguing, and I loved its moody, mystical vibes. In my opinion the idea of overcoming death and addiction had a lot of potential, but I personally felt that the storyline was lacking.

I didn’t like the FMC, Lovely Timms. I think that her storyline had great potential, with her past struggles with death and addiction, but I feel like her storyline was rushed and lacked any real character development.

The side characters seemed interesting and I wish there would have been more information about them. 

The ending left me really confused and with a lot of questions. I don’t think I will continue with this series.


Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC. Receiving ARC didn’t affect my opinion of the book and I’m voluntarily leaving a review.
