Honestly I'm not sure what I was expecting from this but it was sold to me as 1920's gangster romeo and juliet and it did notttt disappoint!! it hit every mark!

I actually wasn't expecting the fantasy elements in this at all, I for some reason went into it thinking it would be purely realism but I was even more excited by this once I was aware of the mild fantasy plot!! A monster stalking the city??? A disease??? Along with all the romeo and juliet shenanigans w/ the two gangs?? It was soooo good!!

I really loved all of the side characters and the mc's, I had a great time! The writing was great, the setting was super cool and I'm a sucker for historical based stories so this was so good. I really loved this take on R&J so much honestly, it was so unique and cool omg. 

The ending...I need the book 2 paperback to release already so I can read it ahhhh!
