I enjoyed how it was almost in regency times so there were balls and suitors but in this world...witches. Witches once ruled and now they are hunted. Our main character Rune is a witch but keeps it hidden so she can keep her life. Gideon is a prominent witch hunter and is hunting the crimson moth (rune) This book is a slow burn, cat and mouse game. I enjoyed it & will def. be reading the next one....more
Honestly I was underwhelmed by this book. There were a few stories I really loved and alot of them...meh. I also wanted them to be about 10 pages longHonestly I was underwhelmed by this book. There were a few stories I really loved and alot of them...meh. I also wanted them to be about 10 pages longer but maybe that's just me. Didn't fill my vampire love sadly.

First of all this cover is GORGEOUS! Also any siren/ mermaid story I am immediately drawn to so I was very excited for this read! I did really enjoy tFirst of all this cover is GORGEOUS! Also any siren/ mermaid story I am immediately drawn to so I was very excited for this read! I did really enjoy this book & how it weaved fantastical elements, social commentary and friendship all in one. This book talks a lot about the Black Lives Matter movement which was amazing. What lost me in this book were the fantastical elements, I was confused for the better portion of this book with keeping up with the many different mythos creatures. The friendship/ sisterhood of Effie & Tavia was so amazing and what I loved most about this book. How they were always there for one another and protected each other at all costs, gah those two girls were everything. Overall I would recommend this book. It’s got amazing social commentary that I think we all need to read and learn and the sisterhood bond in this book is like no other. ...more

This book follows Grace after the death of her parents, she moves to a small part of Alaska with her Uncle and cousin, Macy to a boarding school they run. After she gets there she learns this might not be a normal school....put two and two together and there's your plot. First of all this book was way to long, at almost 600 pages. There wasn't a ton of plot to go with the length of the book either, alot of nothing pretty much happened. The romance was your typical brooding vampire ala Edward Cullen so of course I ate it up like candy, who's surprised there? Also our main character Grace is annoying, maybe I'm the only one who feels that way.
I'm giving this a 3 because it was enjoyable to read. It reminded me of Twilight and even though not alot happened in this book and everything was so farfetched I had a fun time reading it.
Go into this expecting not alot but maybe a good time? ...more
