I loved this gothic novel, gripping and entertaining.
The plot is dark, atmospheric and full of twists and turns. It never failed to keep my attention and I was hooked since the first pages.
I loved the creepy beginning as much i liked the character development. All the characters are fleshed out and well written, the MCs are likeable enough to make you root for them.
An interesting and engrossing read, highly recommended.

I'm a huge fan of Chronicles of St Mary and was more than happy when I got this ARC.
It's a great and funny read, full of the usual humour that marks Jody Taylor's book.
It can be read as a stand alone but I think it can be fully appreciated if you read the Chronicles as it gives you a better idea of the world building and Matthew's background.
This novel is a page turner that will make you laugh out load and turn pages as fast as you can.
There's a lot of satire in this book and it's a high level satire.
The plot is well crafted and engrossing, the cast of characters well written and I loved every moment.
I look forward to reading the next instalment.
Highly recommended!

I loved this book as it's an amazing read, the love child of Jim Butcher and Raymond Chandler with a touch of Gaiman.
The characters are well thought and interesting, the world building is amazing and the plot flows as the author is a talented storyteller.
I hope this is the first in a series because I'd be delighted to read another story with these characters and this world.
It was an excellent read, highly recommended.
