Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Kirsten Ciccarelli has crafted a beautifully dark world within Edgewood. This story clearly pulls from the common folklore of fae but has its own twists and lore within it. I can greatly appreciate the skill it takes to do this. Emeline is driven by her own desires, but also the need to understand herself. This inherent conflict created a plot that drove the action in the story in a way I did not expect.

Despite my qualms with the disconnect of the romance and the age of the characters, this book was incredibly enjoyable. The pacing was well done, and the world-building was amazing. You could sense the danger everyone was in as the story progressed. This is my first book from Ciccarelli, and I am looking forward to reading more from her.

Full review will be posted on my blog on November 19th, 2021.
