I have loved every single book that SL Prater has written, and this was no exception! I’ve waited what feels like ages to get my hands on The Crow Games. It was everything I expected it to be and more👏🏻

I absolutely loved that from the beginning of the book, it’s obvious that Maven is one badass bitch🔥 The vengeance plot was *𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘧’𝘴 𝘬𝘪𝘴𝘴*. The train to Hel full of other people sentenced to a version of prison that is constantly throwing them into death trials threw me for a loop at first until my brain finally caught up with my imagination lol. 

I loved the found family, riddles the gods spoke in, and of course my baby, Asher💋 This was the slowest of slow burns, focusing on their relationship shift from enemies to allies. There were a few big shocks and reveals at the end that I did not see coming one bit! It’s a tragedy that I have to wait so long for book 2, but I know S.L. will make it sooooo worth it🫶🏻🖤

Thank you so much to the author for the gifted copy!🖤
