Special thanks to the author publisher and netgalley for my advanced readers copy.

Everyday I find another reason why I should read fantasy books more. This debut novel was definitely a wild story filled with lots of magic, intergenerational curses, mystery, betrayal, and history. A world where everyone wants power and will stop at nothing to gain control. New Orleans was the perfect setting for this magical story to unfold.

We get the POV of multiple characters which gave us a broader perspective on what’s happening and why.

Nearly 30 years ago the throne was stolen from their family. Now it’s up to Cris and Clem to help restore power and clear their grandmothers name. Their mission is initially hindered because of missing pieces of information and secrets. But that doesn’t stop them from uncovering the truth.

The MC’s Clem and Cris were my fav although they were twins their personalities were different and I loved getting to know them both individually. Cris was the independent and ambitious one while her brother Clem was more of a lover and protector. We get to witness the typical brother and sister feud. But when it came to getting justice for their family they had each others back.

The author covered a lot of topics from racism, family secrets, violence, revenge, murder, love and grief.

Overall this was a pretty decent read and I’m all for anything involving magic. I wasn’t expecting it to end the way it did but definitely looking forward to what’s to come. Representation was EVERYTHING!!!!
