The initial plot of this book came across as interesting and I was intrigued as to where de la Cruz would take it. However, as the storyline progressed, I was underwhelmed by the character development and the intended plot twist near the end of the book (actually both big plot twists) rubbed me the wrong way.
The mash up between mythologies and real-world set up plus historical truths made me more annoyed rather than excited about the book and subsequently the series.
Though it wasn’t for me, it may be for you if you enjoyed de la Cruz’s Blue Blood series and aren’t annoyed by the mixing of mythologies from various places in the world.
So much great character banter that led me to actually laugh out loud. The FMC is a badass with all the sass and the mini-glances into her thoughts makes it so much better. Griffin is delicious, though overprotective; strong but also good at bantering back with Cat.
I also ordered the next 3 books off Amazon today so I can hopefully get some of my predictions answered and some straight up questions dealt with too.

This standalone book delved into the world of shadows and how they can interact with others. It yielded a world where the magic in it was controlled from the idea that shadows could be controlled, morphed, removed, sold and even possibly become solid enough to do someone’s bidding but completely separate from the person.
As a thief and con-artist, Charlie gets sucked into a major project and even a multiple murder mystery in search of the Libre Noctum. The villain throws their weight around because they’re rich and manipulative but Charlie is even better than the villain anticipates.
Some confusing sections of the book led me to the star rating because I was not sure of the point of the story but by the end, all loose ends are tied up.

This novella was so confusing for me, I found myself trying ton understand the world building but also trying to figure out the characters. This is supposed to be the first book in The League series but I found the characters and plot to be very superficial and shallow.
A ton of the book is spent with the main characters shagging in an apartment or contemplating a good romp. It gives the appearance that the overarching plot of the book is happening outside of what the main characters are doing, which is an odd choice.
