Thank you to NetGalley and Simon Pulse for an eARC of this title.

I desperately wanted to love this book! It had so many good things. It had fae, magic, murder, banter, and LGBTQ+ representation. The culture of the fae was so thought out and the relation between the human world was thought out quite well. So many people would absolutely love this book! I loved that this book took place in Toronto. It’s not often that I see a city I know well in a fantasy book like this.

Unfortunately, this book just wasn’t for me. For one thing I really understood that urban fantasy isn’t for me. Urban fantasy, the mix between fantasy elements and the real world is something that I don’t mesh with very well. Another thing that I had trouble with was the dialogue. It was just a bit off for me. I can’t say that this book wasn’t good, I think it was just really not for me. I couldn’t really get into the characters and feel completely connected to them.

I can see so many people absolutely adoring this book. The fact that I didn’t adore this doesn’t say anything about this book, because I can see so many people absolutely loving it. I think a lot of teens will adore this book. The fact that I didn’t love it was simply because it just wasn’t for me.
