If I was able to wipe my memory, this would be the first book I pick up🥹 WTMH is so rich and full of stunning world building, character development, relationships, hidden foreshadowing, and so much more. There was so much to digest but it never took away from the plot. 

I've had this on my TBR since it came out, but was always so intimidated by it. I found a video of someone explaining the basic world building without ruining anything, and it made me feel good about starting it. Let me tell you, that video was a life saver! I don't think I would have enjoyed the first 100 pages without it. I was able to focus on the character introductions rather than try to figure out how their world worked. 

From the world, characters, creatures and everything else in between Sarah Parker wove such an amazingly unique story that I am completely obsessed with! I felt so many emotions throughout. There were quite a few times where I was slamming, throwing, or cussing while I bawled my eyes out from the utter pain and heartbreak that Raeve goes through🥲 

Kaan is the face poster for perfect MMCs everywhere 😂 Raeve and Kaan have incredible banter, chemistry, and he is absolutely OBSESSED when it comes to her!

I need the next book to come out. I'm so mad at myself for not waiting because I know it's going to be SO hard to find something that comes close to what this book is🥹🖤

I'd post myself on the back if my skin wasn't flayed.

"The only infection I'm suffering stems directly from your self-indignant presence." ... "Wrong."
