This book is out now!

I was drawn to this book from the title and this cover! This book was so different compared to other YA books I have read. I am not sure what genre to classify it as but I guess YA historical fiction - horror. I was nervous going into it as I thought it was going to be British historical but it turns out it was not. 

There was a lot of things that happened in this book and occasionally I had to pause what I was doing and revert to the text to make sure I heard correctly. And yet all the pieces came together! 

This was told from 3 point of views - Phyllis/Phillip, Wycliff and Lucent. Phillip our fearless lead whom got this magical ability to steal body parts from people. Which leads us to Wycliff who Phillip stole his nose but after learning his sister went missing something change for Phillip. How does Lucent tie into this? Lucent is his partner in crime. My heart was sad for Phillip as he loved Lucent and considered him family but he was just a business arrangement. I appreciated that the author gave us the perspective of Wycliff and Lucent. 

I just love how Phyllis turning into Phillips.  I love how the other characters question it but then just kind of go with it without any sort of ramifications. I was just so happy that could be who they wanted to be pretty much just start over in this new body. They truly felt so much happier when they were wearing men’s clothing. 

The audiobook was narrated by Em Grosland who is a new narrator to me. I thought they did a great job! Even though they didn’t change their voice when the POV changed, I was able to follow pretty well. Their voice had a nice tone that made listening a breeze. 

This book had a bit of romance, a bit of adventure and overall a fun time! Looking forward to see what the other does in the future!
